NC200 Work Progress – Improving Drying Technique Carbon Team ImranSyakirMohamad, Norli Abdullah
Objective • Improve yield & quality of CNF/CNT produced • Better dispersion of CNF/CNT • High CNF/CNT yield • CNF CNT
Synthesis UTP Parameter Precursor (Fe) Wt % Cat. Red. Temp (oC) %H2 loading 500 700 Acetate Nitrate 1 3 5 300 5% 10% 20% Red. Time (min) Excess Solvent 90 120 60 1/3mL 1/9mL • To improve yield & quality of CNF/CNT • To Improve drying process • for better catalyst dispersion • onto substrate • To optimize the optimum temp • for Fe reduction • To reduce drying time • To improve yield & quality • of CNF/CNT Drying Technique Convectional Oven Drynoza NC200 Work Flow Diagram

Problem Bad catalyst dispersion Objective To Improve drying process for better catalyst dispersion onto substrate
Previous Tech Oven 45oC, Horizontal ventilation New Tech Drynoza RT, vertical ventilation
Result • Catalyst Dispersion Improved No sign of track of dried Fe salt deposited on the bottles.
