AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the production and synthesis methods of iron oxide nanoparticles, specifically magnetite (Fe3O4). For industrial production at a scale of approximately 1 kg per day, participants highlight various methods currently employed by chemical companies, emphasizing the need for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, the conversation addresses laboratory-scale synthesis, with an interest in methods that can produce Fe3O4 nanoparticles under 10 nm in size. Participants share insights on the cheapest and easiest techniques for synthesizing these nanoparticles, reflecting on the balance between size, cost, and scalability in both industrial and laboratory settings.

Dear All:
I interested to know about the production/synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles.
At present, which method/process is adopted in chemical companies for the production of magnetite (Fe3O4)? May be for production of 1 kg per day? The size may be around 50 nm.
I also wanted to know:
In laboratory one can prepare even 5 nm sized Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Can some one tell me about the cheapest and easiest method of preparing Fe3O4 nanoparticles (may be less than 10 nm size) in lab scale?
Thank you for your help.
Regards, Rajini.

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
