Prefeasibility Study for a Continuous-Production Carbon Nanotube Plant in Bogota and Suburban Areas

Pre-feasibility Study, Carbon Nanotubes, Production PlantAbstract
Currently, it is evident the need to have materials with better specifications, which guarantee a long useful life of the structures. In the last 10 years, nano-structured materials have been involved to improve the properties of asphalt mixtures and cementitious matrices, since the carbon nanotubes (NTC) allow to obtain an integral increase of the properties of the pavements surpassing any type of modifier previously studied. Although the first world countries dominate the market, in Colombia the production of these nano-materials is emerging. Therefore, this paper studies the possible domestic production of large amounts of NTC needed to modify building materials and infrastructure. This work serves as input for a feasibility and construction of a future NTC production plant; That is, it determines whether it is possible to produce at lower costs than those proposed by the world market.
