Abstract:
A system for the exfoliation of a layered material is described, comprising in combination: an exfoliation station ( 14 - 22 ) operating on a volume of a dispersion of a layered precursor material, including a wet-jet milling device ( 10 ); and a collecting station ( 30, 40 ), located downstream of the exfoliation station ( 14 - 22 ), operating on a volume of a dispersion of the at least partly exfoliated material, in which the exfoliation station ( 14 - 22 ) and the collecting station ( 30,   40 ) are connected to each other through a fluid communication path ( 20 ) along which there are interposed flow regulating means ( 50 ) adapted to assume a first operating configuration in which the communication path ( 20 ) between the exfoliation station ( 14 - 22 ) and the collecting station ( 30, 40 ) is discontinued, where the exfoliation station ( 14 - 22 ) is adapted to subject a volume of dispersion of layered precursor material to a predetermined number of wet jet milling cycles; and a second operating configuration in which the communication path ( 20 ) between the exfoliation station ( 14 - 22 ) and the collecting station ( 30, 40 ) is continuous, where the exfoliation station ( 14 - 22 ) is adapted to convey a volume of previously milled dispersion including at least partly exfoliated material to the collecting station ( 30, 40 ) and is placed in communication with a supply chamber ( 12 ) to be fed with a further volume of a dispersion of layered precursor material that has to be exfoliated.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for exfoliating a layered material, comprising in combination:\n an exfoliation station operating on a volume of a dispersion of a layered precursor material, including a wet-jet milling device; and a collecting station, arranged downstream of the exfoliation station, operating on a volume of a dispersion of at least partially exfoliated material, wherein the exfoliation station and the collecting station are connected to each other through a fluid communication path along which there are interposed flow regulating means. said flow regulating means being adapted to assume a first operating configuration in which the communication path between the exfoliation station and the collecting station is discontinued, whereby the exfoliation station is adapted to expose a volume of a dispersion of a layered precursor material to a predetermined number of wet-jet milling cycles, and the collecting station is adapted to extract an amount of exfoliated material from the volume of the dispersion previously exposed to milling and including material at least partially exfoliated; and a second operative configuration in which the communication path between the exfoliation station and the collecting station is continuous, whereby the exfoliation station is adapted to convey a volume of a dispersion previously exposed to milling and including a material at least partially exfoliated towards the collecting station, and the exfoliation station is placed in connection with a supply chamber so as to be fed with a further volume of a dispersion of a layered precursor material.
