Brief Description
Description : | The innovation in a system to produce nanoparticles of titanium dioxide by thermal plasma process. The produced particles are tested and found to remove turmeric and coffee stains on both silk and cotton fabrics by exposing the fabrics to few hours of sunlight. Thermal plasma process is an efficient way to produce industrial scale nanoparticles. The system designed is unique and integrated which not only produces but also collects the nanoparticles. The entire system is fully automated, production as well as collection. |
