Abstract
Silver nanoparticles were synthesized in an impinging jet reactor using silver nitrate as a precursor, trisodium citrate as a stabilizer and sodium borohydride as a reducing agent. The effect of mixing time on the nanoparticle morphology was investigated by means of UV-Vis spectroscopy, used as a characterization tool. It was observed that as the mixing time became shorter the nanoparticles retained a similar average diameter but produced more aggregates. The mixing time was characterized using the ‘Villermaux-Dushmann’ reaction system together with the Interaction by Exchange with the Mean mixing model. The mixing time achieved was of the order of a few ms for flowrates in the range 18-28 ml/min. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles was carried out at the same flowrates to link mixing time to silver nanoparticle morphology.
