Abstract
In this study the production of high soluble material nanoparticles was successfully performed by means of a spinning disk reactor (SDR). This result was possible due to the use of a potassium nitrate saturated solution, which was continuously recycled back to the reactor after removal of the produced solid nanoparticles. Several process configurations were checked. It appears to be mandatory that the recycled saturated solution must be free of residual nanoparticles since their presence would lead to heterogeneous nucleation. In this respect, a small amount of nitric acid was added to the stream to permit the residual nanoparticle dissolution. Moreover, a spiral wounded piping system was developed in order to increase both the contact time and the mixing condition of the saturated solution with the added acid before entering the SDRFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
