Long vapor grown carbon fibers (VGCFs) have been obtained using a new method, the liquid pulse injection (LPI) technique. A benzene solution of ferrocene was injected to the surface of the hot wall of the reactor. Ferrocene was rapidly heated and decomposed, yielding ultra-fine iron catalyst particl

## Vapor grown carbon fibers; light paraffins; liquid pulse injection technique Vapor grown carbon fibers (VGCFs) were successfully produced at high growth rates using light paraffins as the carbon source. VGCFs grow in the axial direction through the catalytic action of ultra-fine metal particle
Vapor grown carbon fibers were successfully produced from benzene, toluene and xylene, and also from mixtures of these hydrocarbons using the liquid pulse injection technique developed by the authors. This indicates the possibility of the usage of this kind of low-cost material as the carbon source
Development of surface grown cultures of Aspergillus niger no. 10 was studied at two experimental levels: (a) following the time course of the biomass density (X [=] mg cm -2 ) and fitting the data by the logistic expression, which yielded a macroscopic specific growth rate expressed as Β΅ obs = (dX/
