Our laboratory is equipped with unique and state of the art systems and offers a wide range of services including nanopowder synthesis, highly porous nanofilm synthesis, micro and nanoparticle characterization including their specific surface area, true skeletal density, porosity, T.A.P density, composition, hydrogen gas purity and more. The following equipment are available for research and service actives on a fee-for-service model. If you are interested in using any of these equipment, Please contact. Prof. Reza Kholghy.
- Single Burner Flame Spray Pyrolysis Reactor for Nanoparticle Synthesis: This reactor is located in the Nanoparticle Synthesis Laboratory and can be used for synthesis of up to 50 g/h of a wide range of sub 100 nm, high specific surface area metal oxides, metal nitrates, metal sulfides, carbon or silica coated, mixed oxides and even a few metallic nanoparticles (Fe, Co, Ni, Bi)
2. Flame Spray Pyrolysis Reactor for Liquid Fuel Emission Characterization: This reactor is located in the Black Carbon Metrology Group of the National Research Council of Canada in Ottawa and it equipped with an array of aerosol sampling and characterization instruments including scanning mobility particle sizer, and H2O and and CO2 gas analyzers. This system can be used for synthesis of high specific surface area carbon nanoparticles including emission from burning sustainable aviation fuels.
