Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing cerium dioxide nanoparticles which can be used as a component of a fuel additive composition.SOLUTION: A method for manufacturing cerium dioxide nanoparticles includes: a) a process of providing a first cerium ion source, a hydroxide ion source, nanoparticles stabilizer and an aqueous reaction mixture having an oxidant at an initial temperature of 20°C or lower; b) a process of forming a suspension of cerium hydroxide nanoparticles by mechanically shearing the mixture and passing it through a boring screen; and c) a process of forming cerium nanoparticles having an average diameter in a range of about 1 mm to about 15 mm by increasing the initial temperature and causing oxidation of a primary cerium ion to a second cerium ion. Cerium dioxide nanoparticles can be formed by continuous processes.
