Synthesis of titanium nanorods with LPG as fuel and oxygen as oxidant in diffusion flame reactor

Nanophase titanium dioxide (TiO2) and titanium nanorods (TNRs) are synthesized by flame synthesis using LPG as fuel and oxygen (O2) as oxidant. Titanium tetraisopropoxide is used as precursor. TNRs and titanium nanoparticle (TNP) is characterized by SEM and XRD. In this paper, process parameters are...

Zusammenfassung:Nanophase titanium dioxide (TiO2) and titanium nanorods (TNRs) are synthesized by flame synthesis using LPG as fuel and oxygen (O2) as oxidant. Titanium tetraisopropoxide is used as precursor. TNRs and titanium nanoparticle (TNP) is characterized by SEM and XRD. In this paper, process parameters are investigated to synthesize the TNRs and TNPs. TNRs are formed at 1.2slpm of O2; its average diameter is 200–600nm. Average diameter of TNPs formed at 0.8slpm of O2 is 90–120nm. The results conclude at a constant flowrate of 0.4slpm of LPG, and increasing of O2 flowrate from 0.8 to 1.2slpm leads to formation of TNRs.
