Abstract:
The invention provides a process for depositing a coating onto particles being pneumatically transported in a tube. The process comprising the steps of providing a tube having an inlet opening and an outlet opening; feeding a carrier gas entraining particles into the tube at or near the inlet opening of the tube to create a particle flow through the tube; and injecting a first self-terminating reactant into the tube via at least one injection point downstream from the inlet opening of the tube for reaction with the particles in the particle flow. The process is suitable for atomic layer deposition and molecular layer deposition. An apparatus for carrying out the process is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A process and a system for producing a stock solution for production of a ferrofluid is provided. The process includes contacting an acidic solution in a reaction container filled with an excess of a bulk material containing Fe(III) and optionally Fe(II). The acid reacts with the bulk material to form the stock solution (Ls) having dissolved ferric (Fe(III)) and optionally ferrous (Fe(II)) ions which is then separated from the bulk material.
