Precipitation Technologies for Nanoparticle Production

Precipitation technologies have been widely studied for nanoparticle production because they provide more control over particle size, shape, and morphology than mechanical processes, such as milling and homogenizationHomogenization. Several precipitation processes are discussed in this chapter, with special attention to experimental parameters and typical particle attributes. The chapter also touches on novel nanoparticle recovery techniques that may be coupled with precipitation processes to enable these precipitation technologies to be scaled for commercial applications.
