Formation of nano-sized alumina by in-flight oxidation of aluminium powder in a thermal plasma reactor

Nano-sized aluminium oxide powder has been synthesized in a thermal plasma reactor by in-flight oxidation of aluminium metal. The particle size of alumina formed ranges from a few nanometers to 30 nm. Experimental studies have been complemented by numerical process simulation using a one-dimensional...
