Abstract:
1. A method for optimizing and controlling properties of nanoparticles, wherein the properties comprises a mean particle size and a specific surface area of the nanoparticles for a scale up of nanoparticle production in an aerosol flame reactor integrated with process instruments, wherein the method comprises: determining: feeding the operating data, the mixing characteristics of the precursor, the flame temperature, and the determined data to a simulation tool with programmed instructions to obtain simulated data; feeding the simulated data to the continuous population balance module to obtain the mean particle size and the specific surface area of the nanoparticles by the solving of the particle balance equations in the each and every cell of the computational domain/flame structure; and processing the mean particle size and the specific surface area of the nanoparticles for optimizing and controlling the mean particle size and the specific surface area and for the scale up of the nanoparticle production in the aerosol flame reactor.
