Abstract

Supercritical hydrothermal synthesis (SCHS) is an eco-friendly and efficient method for synthesizing nanomaterials. China's first pilot plant for SCHS of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has been successfully built, producing AgNPs with controllable particle sizes through reactor and system optimizations. This manuscript systematically explores the challenges of low heating and mixing efficiency and clogging, and proposes targeted solutions, including efficient warming, heat reuse and mixer structure optimisation. The detailed system components, evident properties, advanced control methods and primary experiment results of the pilot scale plant are described objectively, achieving high-purity AgNPs with an average particle size of 36.1 nm. These findings will contribute to the commercialisation of the SCHS pilot plant for continuous batch production of nanoparticles.

期刊介绍： ChERD aims to be the principal international journal for publication of high quality, original papers in chemical engineering. Papers showing how research results can be used in chemical engineering design, and accounts of experimental or theoretical research work bringing new perspectives to established principles, highlighting unsolved problems or indicating directions for future research, are particularly welcome. Contributions that deal with new developments in plant or processes and that can be given quantitative expression are encouraged. The journal is especially interested in papers that extend the boundaries of traditional chemical engineering.
