Abstract
Abstract An improved process for preparing carbon fibers in a gaseous phase reaction comprising introducing a gas mixture comprising at least one carbon compound, at least one inorganic transition metal compound gas and at least one carrier gas into a reactor and subjecting the mixture to a temperature of 600° C. to 1300° C. in the reactor for inducing growth of carbon fibers.
