Abstract: A reservoir for one or more chemical reactants has means for heating the reactants and optional means for stirring the reactants. A pumped reactant feed line and a return line provide fluid communication between the reservoir and a 4-way valve system. The 4-way valve system is also in fluid communication with a reactor vessel and a source of inert gas for purging the system. In a first state, the 4-way valve provides fluid communication between the reservoir and the reactor. In a second state, the 4-way valve provides a continuous circulation path for the heated reactants from the reservoir, to the valve system, and back to the reservoir via the return line. In a third state, the 4-way valve provides a fluid pathway for purging the reactor with inert gas. In a fourth state, the 4-way valve provides a fluid pathway for purging the reservoir with inert gas.

Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing flowable substances, having a nozzle having an exit opening for dispensing the substances from the nozzle, and a closure part movable by a control element, disposed outside of the nozzle, and configured to release the exit opening and close the exit opening, in the region of a closure part surface that faces the nozzle end. The closure part surface is delimited, in the movement direction of the closure part from the open position to the closed position, by a leading edge, in the leading direction. The closure part surface is disposed next to the nozzle and at a level upstream from the exit opening, with reference to the flow direction of the substances through the nozzle, in the open position. The closure part can be moved from the open position to the closed position by the control element, such that the leading edge of the closure part surface is moved past the free nozzle end.

Abstract: There is provided a method for manufacturing a carbon nanostructure with reduced occurrence of a bend and the like. The method for manufacturing a carbon nanostructure according to the present invention includes the steps of: preparing a base body formed of a catalyst member including a catalyst and a separation member that are in contact with or integral with each other (preparation step); oxidizing at least a part of a contact portion or integral portion of the catalyst member and the separation member (oxidation step); bringing a carbon-containing source gas into contact with the catalyst member and/or the separation member (CNT growth step); and growing a carbon nanostructure (CNT growth step). In the CNT growth step, the carbon nanostructure is grown in a separation interface region between the catalyst member and the separation member, by heating the base body while separating the separation member from the catalyst member.
