Abstract

The subject invention provides a stable mass production method of carbon nano structure at low cost immune to variation of particle diameter of the catalyst microparticle in the catalyst material. The subject invention also provides a production device used for the method, and a new carbon nano structure having a conformation suitable for the mass production. The production method of carbon nano structure comprising fluidizing a material gas and catalyst microparticles in the reactor so that the material gas and the catalyst microparticles are brought into contact with each other, wherein said catalyst microparticles are suspended by the instantaneous spraying of the high-pressure gas, and then the suspension effect of the catalyst microparticles is stopped so that the catalyst microparticles naturally fall. The particle diameter of the catalyst microparticles is thus selected. With this arrangement, only the selected catalyst microparticles with the desired diameter are supplied to the reactor. Since this arrangement is immune to influence of variation in particle diameter of catalyst microparticles contained in the catalyst material, it achieves stable mass production of carbon nano structure at low cost.
