摘要:
Novel forms of molybdenum metal (12), and apparatus (10) and methods for production thereof. Novel forms of molybdenum metal (12) are preferably characterized by a surface area of substantially about 2.1 m2/g to substantially about 4.1 m2/g. Novel forms of molybdenum metal (12) are also preferably characterized by a relatively uniform size.
摘要:
Apparatus (10) and method for producing pigment nano-particles (12). One embodiment of the apparatus (10) may comprise a furnace (16) having a vapor region (18), the furnace (16) vaporizing a pigment precursor material (14). A precipitation conduit (20) open to the vapor region (18) of the furnace (16), the precipitation conduit (20) receiving vapor (22) from the vaporized pigment precursor material (14′). A collection fluid port (30) opening into the precipitation conduit (20), the collection fluid port (30)delivering a collection fluid (32) into contact with the vapor (22) in the precipitation conduit (22), the vapor (22) condensing to form the pigment nano-particles (12). A collection system (24) in fluid connection with the precipitation conduit (20), the collection system (24) collecting the pigment nano-particles (12) in the collection fluid (32).
摘要:
A novel isomer of ammonium octamolybdate ("AOM") and method for producing the same. A new AOM isomer ("X-AOM") is described which is characterized by a distinctive Raman spectral profile compared with other AOM isomers including and -AOM. To produce the novel isomer, ammonium dimolybdate ("ADM") (12) is combined with molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) (34) and water (14) to yield a mixture. When mixing these materials, optimum results are achieved if at least one of the foregoing molybdenum-containing reagents is added in a gradual, non-instantaneous manner so that the selected reagent is not added to the mixture in a single large mass. This gradual delivery procedure, along with a carefully controlled prolonged heating stage (e.g. in excess of 3 hours) contributes to a maximum yield of high purity X-AOM.
摘要:
Apparatus (10) for producing nano-particles (12) comprises a furnace (16) defining a vapor region (18) therein. A precipitation conduit (20) having an inlet end (22) and an outlet end (24) is positioned with respect to the furnace (16) so that the inlet end (22) is open to the vapor region (18). A quench fluid port (30) positioned within the precipitation conduit (20) provides a quench fluid stream (34) to the precipitation conduit (20) to precipitate nano-particles (12) within the precipitation conduit (20). A product collection apparatus (26) connected to the outlet end (24) of the precipitation conduit (20) collects the nano-particles (12) produced within the precipitation conduit (20).
