A method and apparatus for production of nanoscale materials is disclosed. In the preferred embodiments, the invention is scalable and tunable to reliably produce nanoscale materials of specifically desired qualities and at relatively high levels of purity. In a preferred embodiment, combustible gas is discharged onto a substrate through a multi-zone flame facilitating the formation of nanoscale materials such as single and multi-wall nanotubes.

Methods and systems for synthesis on nanoscale materials

Drying wet carbon black pellets by physically contacting carbon black pellets with warm carbon black smoke.

Drying carbon black pellets

A gaseous fuel burner for a carbon black reactor comprising a hollow annular metallic ring having a plurality of holes for discharge of fuel radially into a stream of combustion air immediately downstream (or upstream) of a turbulence-creating orifice. The air and fuel pass through and are intimately mixed in a cylindrical refractory mixing chamber adjacent the ring. The ring is affixed to a metallic mounting plate so that the burner and plate are cooled by incoming air supplied to a chamber located between said plate and the upstream end of the reactor.
