<p>Apparatus (10) for producing nano-particles (12) comprises a furnace (16) defining a vapor region (18) therein. A precipitation conduit (20) having an inlet end (22) and an outlet end (24) is positioned with respect to the furnace (16) so that the inlet end (22) is open to the vapor region (18). A quench fluid port (30) positioned within the precipitation conduit (20) provides a quench fluid stream (34) to the precipitation conduit (20) to precipitate nano-particles (12) within the precipitation conduit (20). A product collection apparatus (26) connected to the outlet end (24) of the precipitation conduit (20) collects the nano-particles (12) produced within the precipitation conduit (20).</p> |
