Escuela de Ingenierías Industriales K1 Nanopartículas K1 Ingeniería Química AB In this project, a flash drum is going to be studied as a method to concentrate astream with nanoparticles continuously at bench scale. Several aspects are going to beanalysed, such as the removal of water produced in the flash, the dragging of productthat is carried by the vapour and the hydrodynamic size of the nanoparticles.The nanoparticles were synthesized by a hydrothermal method at high pressurein a counter-current nozzle reactor, patented by the University of Nottingham [1].Afterward, the pressure was released and the stream was concentrated using a flashdrum and separating the vapour from the liquid.Several designs of the flash drum have been tested, for example providing therig with more insulation or adding a band heater, obtaining better results in theseparation of the liquid and vapour.In some cases, the amount of solids carried by the vapour was measured aswell in order to know the amount of product that is not possible to recover.
