Nano-Particle Sizing in a Thermal Plasma Synthesis Reactor

Abstract: The radio frequency inductively coupled thermal plasma synthesis process, based on the use of solution precursors as the process feedstock, has been employed for the production of ceria (CeO 2 ) nano-powders. A sampling probe has been developed to continuously withdraw synthesized nano-powders from all desired positions within the plasma chamber for subsequent analysis. Using this probe, it was possible to study the 3D mapping of the plasma synthesis process. A flow of helium was introduced into the sampling p… Show more

“…The thermal plasma process provides a high processing rate as well as many other advantages for the synthesis of nano sized powders such as a high processing temperature to vapourize all reactants, a clean reaction atmosphere that yields high purity products, a high quench rate to form fine powders and a wide range of reactants. Thus, research on thermal plasma synthesis at ceramics and composites in recent years has given a new direction and impetus too many industrial applications as one of the most promising methods for producing nano sized powders [54].

“…First, (Ni 0.5 Cu 0.5 )Fe 2 O 4 NPs were synthesized in an induction thermal plasma reaction chamber, following a procedure already reported previously by us for the synthesis of NiFeO 2 NPs and using a plasma setup described elsewhere (Figure ) . The synthesis consisted in the coaxial injection aqueous solution of metal precursors (Fe, Ni and Cu nitrates in a 4/1/1 molar ratio) with a carrier gas (Ar) into an inductively coupled thermal plasma torch.…”

“…Several experiments have been conducted by previous researchers, including experiments with varying pressure, atomization gas flow rate, feed flow rate, atomization probe gap size, and droplet product size distribution. The powder product results illustrate that the size of the powder distribution increases with the decrease in plasma flows [49].…”
