Understanding the effects of Precursor Loading Factors on the Premixed Flame Synthesis of Titanium Oxide Nanoparticles

Premixed flame nanoparticles synthesis is emerging a promising method for largescale production of nanoparticle. This paper presents the work undertaken to investigate and establish the effects of precursor loading factors on the morphology of nanoparticles synthesized using premixed flame burner technique. Initially, a brief review of studies on the effect of precursor loading on flames based synthesis of nanoparticles was under taken and presented. Experimental methodology of precursor loading in the new premixed flame nanoparticle synthesis system and used in the present work is presented. Next, the effects of precursor factors of precursor temperature and feed rate of Titanium isopropylate (TTIP) was under taken and presented. The synthesis of titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were collected and analyzed by Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM). The effects of precursor factors on the size and morphology of end particles have been presented and discussed
