This invention provides a gas-
phase method and apparatus for preparing high-purity nano-
tin dioxide
powder, comprising the following steps: a
tin source is vaporized using mid-frequency
plasma to form
tin vapor; the tin vapor is reacted with
oxygen in an oxidation growth zone, while simultaneously injecting
gadolinium oxide nanoaggregate
aerosol; and the reaction is carried out through the
surface oxygen vacancies and Gd2+ of the
gadolinium oxide nanoaggregates. 3+ The coordination adsorption of tin-
oxygen species at specific sites induces heterogeneous
nucleation, generating nano-sized
tin dioxide particles. These nano-sized
tin dioxide particles are then subjected to in-situ surface functionalization treatment at 20-60°C with
ultraviolet light at wavelengths of 185 nm and 254 nm, followed by the introduction of
ozone at a concentration of 10-100 ppm for a
residence time of 60-120 s. The surface-functionalized nano-sized
tin dioxide particles are collected using an electrostatic-assisted method and dried to obtain high-purity nano-tin dioxide
powder. This invention refines grain size, optimizes particle dispersibility, and achieves efficient particle collection. The resulting
powder possesses both ultra-fine particle size and high purity, meeting the application requirements of
cutting-edge
new materials.
