Abstract

The experimental system for the synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles by stagnation swirl flame (SSF). The system is composed of three main parts, i.e., a delivery system for reactant gases and precursor, a downward stainless steel tube of 18 mm i.d with a vane swirler inside, and a temperature-controlled substrate.
