PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF GRAPHENE AND GRAPHENE DERIVATIVES FROM SO-CALLED GREENHOUSE GASSES AND OTHER CARBONACEOUS WASTE PRODUCTS

摘要

Methods and processes are disclosed that utilize carbonates produced as a result of the conversion of carbon dioxide that are heated under conditions inhibiting complete combustion to produce vapors promoting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon formation in the formation of graphene, graphene derivatives and other useful nanoparticles as desired. In some embodiments, the waste gasses and streams from processes of extracting or processing carbonaceous materials are collected and refluxed with at least one solvent to promote polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon formation under conditions that inhibit complete combustion of the carbonaceous material can be used in the production of graphene, graphene derivatives and other useful nanoparticles. In some embodiments, waste gasses from processes of extracting or processing carbonaceous materials are collected and used in the production of graphene, graphene derivatives and other useful nanoparticles.
