Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus and methods for producing liquid colloids such as suspensions of nanoparticles, in which liquid feedstock materials are reacted on a reaction surface of a rotatable plate. The apparatus has a first plate (101) mounted for rotation about a rotation axis (102), the first plate (101) providing a reaction surface (103) having a concave portion; first (106) and second (107) inlet lines arranged to introduce respective first and second liquid feedstock materials to the reaction surface (103); and a collection unit (110) arranged to collect a reaction product formed from reaction of the liquid feedstock materials as a liquid colloid ejected from an outer edge of the plate (101).
Claims20
An apparatus for producing a liquid colloid, the apparatus comprising:
- a first plurality of concave plates mounted for rotation about a same rotation axis, each plate of the plurality of concave plates providing a concave reaction surface;
- first and second inlet lines arranged to introduce respective first and second liquid feedstock materials to the concave reaction surface of each plate of the plurality of concave plates;
- and
- a collection unit arranged to collect a reaction product formed from reaction of the first and second liquid feedstock materials as a liquid colloid ejected from an outer edge of each plate of the plurality of concave plates.
