Research Abstract

This study focused on development of a modulated induction thermal plasma system with time controlled feedstock feeding method to synthesize high-quality functional nanoparticles with a high production rate. As an example, TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using the developed system, and the effect of coil current modulation and time-controlled feedstock feeding were investigated. Finally, we found that this method can produce TiO2 nanoparticles with a very high production rate of 500 g/h at a 20 kW induction thermal plasma.
