| I was reading up on forming high quality composite oxides and the glycine nitrate process looks like a lot of fun to try. Essentially it involves
igniting a mixture of glycine with metal nitrates of your choice to form the desired product. By heating the solution till it autoignites the reaction
rapidly heats up from circa 200C to upto 1300C producing a voluminous smoke containing your composite oxide in nanoscale size particles. The speed of
the reaction ensures that there isn't enough time for the phase separation of the different oxides. However from what I'm reading it appears that this
could be quite an energetic reaction and I can't seem to find any info on the equipment needed to do this. Has anyone got any experience with this
process. If so what kind of equipment can you use to contain the reaction / collect the product. Any suggestions? thanks |
