On the Processes that Occur in the Metal Particles with Their Use in Catalytic Decomposition of Hydrocarbons through the Carbide Cycle Mechanism

The part played by highly dispersed particles of metals of iron subgroup in catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbons through the carbide cycle mechanism has been considered. A crucial correlation between their crystallographic characteristics and the structure of formed graphite composites has been shown. The major factors have been determined that enable controlling the processes of formation of graphite filaments and fibres.
