Precipitation of hematite nanoparticles via reverse microemulsion process

Hematite nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized via two processing routes:(i) conventional precipitation route and (ii) reverse microemulsion route.The particle precipitation was carried out in a semibatch reactor.A microemulsion system consisting of water,chloroform,1-butanol and surfactant was loaded with iron nitrates to form iron nanoparticles precipitation.The precipitation was performed in the single-phase microemulsion operating region.Three technical surfactants,with different structure an...
