- Title of Paper:Impact of Mixing for the Production of CuO Nanoparticles in Supercritical Hydrothermal Synthesis
- Journal:Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research
- Summary:The mixing process of metal salt solutions and supercritical water is essential to supercritical water hydrothermal
synthesis (SWHS) to produce nanoparticles. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed for predicting mixing e fficiency and crystallization kinetics in SWHS mixers. The mixing e ffi ciency was calculated from the micromixing model, and the kinetics model of crystallization was built from the population balance equation. The effects of the fluid dynamics of mixing (Reynolds number and mixer diameter) on the mixing e ffi ciency and crystallization kinetics (nucleation rate and growth rate) were investigated. The results showed that faster mixing can lead to a higher crystallization rate and the production of smaller particles with a narrower particle size distribution. - Co-author:Zhou, L. Wang, S. Z.
