Multiple feeder reactor for the production of nano-particles of metal

摘要

The reactor is used for producing nano-particles of metal from volatile moieties in flow through mode. The reactor comprises at least a first feeder and a second feeder on one end of the vessel. The first feeder feeds the moiety in the form of an educt fluid into the reactor. This fluid is a mixture of metal moieties and a bearer fluid, entering the reactor in a vaporized state, in which the bearer fluid is used as a carrier gas. The second feeder is used as a radiator means to heat up the educt fluid within the reactor. By providing the heating fluid through the second feeder control over some environmental conditions like ambient temperature within the reactor is achieved and dissociation of the metal moieties under such controlled conditions leads to quantitative production of selected nano-particle morphologies.

主权项

1. A reactor comprising:
at least a first feeder and a second feeder on one end of the reactor; wherein the reactor is a through-flow reactor designed for producing nano-particles of metal from volatile moieties; wherein the first feeder is a moiety feeder for an educt fluid by which volatile moieties carried in a bearing gas enter the reactor; wherein the second feeder is a radiator means for a heating fluid by which the ambient temperature for a dissociation of the metal moieties is controlled; wherein the reactor ends with at least three separation stages to separate different sizes of nano-particles, and the first feeder is a seating flask with an outer diameter which is seated in a reception hole of a smaller side of the reactor with an insertion depth, the insertion depth being adjusted by an adjustable relative position between the seating flask and the reception hole.
