“…Based on these results and weight measurements of the synthesized powder, the production rates of nanopowder were estimated as more than 400 g h −1 under g pow = 12 g min −1 condition (80%SCL and 70%SCL), for example, using the 20-kW PMITP. This production rate value is 10-20 times higher than those obtained using the conventional thermal plasma method reported in the literature [6,14]. This important benefit of our developed method, large-scale synthesis of nanopowder, must be emphasized.…”

“…These powder feeding rates are much higher than those in other conventional nanoparticle synthesis methods described in the literature. They used induction thermal plasmas of several tens of kilowatts [6,14]. The feedstock was fed intermittently with a high-speed solenoid valve that was synchronized with the coil current modulation with delay time t d of 6 ms.…”

“…Several studies have examined the synthesis of TiO 2 nanoparticles using a steady-state type of inductively coupled thermal plasma (ICTP). They have mainly investigated control of its particle size and phase constituent [13,14,18]. However, some issues persist: the difficulty in controlling the synthesized particle size, and also the lower production rate from the instability of ICTP sustainability during heavy-load feeding of feedstock.…”

Abstract.A unique large-scale synthesis method for Al-doped TiO 2 nanopowder was developed using 20-kW Ar-O 2 pulse-modulated induction thermal plasmas (PMITP) with time-controlled feedstock feeding (TCFF). This PMITP-TCFF method is characterized by intermittent feedstock powder feeding synchronized with modulated power of the PMITP. The method enables heavy-load feeding of raw material powder to the thermal plasmas for complete evaporation. Synthesized nanopowder was analyzed using different methods including FE-SEM, XRD, BF-TEM, TEM/EDX mapping, XPS, and spectrophotometry. Results showed that Al-doped TiO 2 nanopowder can be synthesized with mean diameters of 50-60 nm. The Al doping in TiO 2 was confirmed from the constituent structure in XRD spectra, the uniform presence of Al on the nanopowder in TEM/EDX mapping, the chemical shift in XPS spectra, and the absorption edge shift in the optical property. The production rate of Al-doped TiO 2 nanopowder was estimated as 400 g h −1 .

“…Meanwhile, anatase type and rutile type TiO 2 , shown in Fig. 2, are a photocatalyst, and the photocatalysis has been carried out under ultraviolet light (UV) irradiation because of its high energy band gap (3.2 eV for anatase and 3.0 eV for rutile) [6]. The anatase type TiO 2 particles are commonly used as photocatalyst, since it is known that the anatase type TiO 2 shows more effective for photocatalytic reaction than rutile type.…”

Photonic crystal is a new type of optical material in which a refractive index or dielectric constant is periodically changed. It is easy to fabricate 3-D periodic structures using textile technology. The main goal of our study has been, therefore, to fabricate the flexible photonic crystals by using high-dielectric-constant fibrous material. For this purpose, in this study, the high-dielectric-constant fiber was fabricated by coating of TiO 2 particles onto the cotton-yarn by irradiation of ultraviolet light (UV), since the TiO 2 is a photocatalytic material.

“…Recently, high-pressure high-power inductively coupled plasmas have become effective heat and chemical species sources for various materials processing such as syntheses of nanopowders [1][2][3][4] diamond films, 5 and thermal barrier coatings. 6 This has occurred because they can provide advantages of remarkably higher enthalpy and higher radical density than cold plasmas.…”

An arbitrary-wave-form modulated induction thermal plasma ͑AMITP͒ system was developed using a high-power semiconductor high-frequency power supply. The modulated high-power plasma is a breakthrough technique for controlling the temperature and the radical density in high-density plasmas. The arbitrary-wave-form modulation of the coil current enables more detailed control of the temperature of the high-density plasmas than the pulse-amplitude modulation that has already been developed. The Ar AMITP with intentionally modulated coil current could be generated at a power of 10-15 kW. Results showed that the Ar excitation temperature between the specified excitation levels was changed intentionally according to the modulation control signal.
