“…In North America, where rubber is the major market, consumption of zinc oxide amounted to 207 thousand tons. Around 58% of zinc oxide is used in rubber compounding, 22% is employed in the production of chemicals, 10% is used in agricultural activities, and the rest is used in paints, coatings, ceramics, and other applications (Schlag and Yoneyama 2010).…”

“…Engineered nanomaterial-enabled nanotechnology is experiencing unprecedented growth. In 2010, the global consumption of nanomaterials was 1.7 million metric tons and valued at 5.6 billion US$ (Schlag et al 2011). By 2015, this market is predicted to grow to 7.4 billion US$ (Schlag et al 2011), with revenues from products incorporating these nanomaterials reaching 2.5 trillion US$ (Hwang and Bradley 2010) and 2 million workers employed in the nanotechnology sector (Roco 2011).…”

While flame aerosol processes currently are the most widely used in manufacturing commercial quantities of nanoparticles (Skillas et al 2011), inductively coupled thermal plasma (ICP) technologies are emerging as a promising alternative.…”

Aerosol emission monitoring in the production of silicon carbide nanoparticles by induction plasma synthesis

In this study, the synthesis of silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles in a prototype inductively coupled thermal plasma reactor and other supporting processes, such as the handling of precursor material, the collection of nanoparticles, and the cleaning of equipment, were monitored for particle emissions and potential worker exposure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of engineering controls and best practice guidelines developed for the production and handling of nanoparticles, identify processes which result in a nanoparticle release, characterize these releases, and suggest possible administrative or engineering controls which may eliminate or control the exposure source. No particle release was detected during the synthesis and collection of SiC nanoparticles and the cleaning of the reactor. This was attributed to most of these processes occurring in closed systems operated at slight underpressure. Other tasks occurring in more open spaces, such as the disconnection of a filter assembly from the reactor system and the use of compressed air for the cleaning of filters where synthesized SiC nanoparticles were collected, resulted in releases of submicrometer particles with a mode size of *170-180 nm. Observation of filter samples under scanning electron microscope confirmed that the particles were agglomerates of SiC nanoparticles.
