 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'It is vital that nanomanufacturing routes facilitate an increase in production whilst being 'green', sustainable, low cost and capable of producing high quality materials. Continuous hydrothermal synthesis is an enabling and underpinning technology that is ready to prove itself at industrial scale as a result of recent breakthroughs in reactor design which suggest that it could now be scaled over 100 tons per annum. Academic specialists with international reputations in reactor modelling and kinetics and metrology will develop the ‘know how’ needed to scale up the current pilot scale system. Selected project partners with expertise in sustainability modelling and life cycle assessment will quantify the environmental impact and benefits of a process that uses water as a recyclable solvent, whilst producing the highest quality, dispersed and formulated products. In addition to scale up production, the process will be improved through case studies with industrial end users in four key areas – printed electronics with SOVY; surface coatings with CRF, PPG and SOVY; healthcare and medical with ENDOR and CERA; hybrid polymers and materials with TopGaN and REPSOL. Further value will be added to the Project by working on new materials that have been identified as key future targets but cannot be currently made, or made in significant quantities. The consortium is founded on the principle that the whole value chain (from nanoparticle production to final product) must be involved in the development of the technology. This will not only inform the development stages of the production process but also maximise ‘market pull’, rather than simply relying on subsequent ‘technology push’.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Although generally invisible to the naked eye, nanoparticles are ubiquitous and their presence is growing by leaps and bounds. A novel manufacturing technology is being developed with EU support promises major benefits in sustainability and quality.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Nanoparticles are in car panel dyes, hydrophobic coatings for self-cleaning glass, electro-optical materials in photovoltaics, and even biocompatible and antimicrobial materials for artificial limbs. Nanomaterials sales are expected to reach EUR 20 billion by 2015, and the value of the plethora of products in which they are used near EUR 3.1 trillion.

Given the volume and economic importance of nanomaterials to its economy, the EU is funding cutting-edge research to make their production faster, more reliable, safer and greener. The project 'Sustainable hydrothermal manufacturing of nanomaterials' (http://www.shyman.eu/ (SHYMAN)) is developing a pioneering reactor design. The 19 partners have set an ambitious goal for scale-up to over 100 tonnes per year of dry product.

The reactor exploits high-pressure, high-temperature (supercritical) water in a continuous flow scheme in direct contrast to the conventional dry-based, bottom-up technologies. The result will be efficient mixing and uniform nanoparticle size without the use of hazardous solvents. In addition, the water will be recycled. Case studies with industrial end users will ensure commercial potential.

SHYMAN has completed the total plant design, including heat and mass balances, process flow, piping and instrumentation, and hazard analysis. Computational modelling is increasing understanding of fluid dynamics and ensuring elimination of uncontrolled growth in reactor dead spaces. Partners are currently formulating a water harvesting strategy.

Researchers have demonstrated the feasibility not only of scaling up production but of using multiple reactors in parallel. This will facilitate production of multi-component or mixed products in the same product flow. Life-cycle assessments are being used to explore the benefits over conventional production processes and scientists are also evaluating carbon footprint.

Partners have scheduled construction of the largest continuous flow hydrothermal plant in the world for next year. The plant will put the EU at the forefront of a technology set to change the face of the multi-billion euro nanomaterials sector. By project end, the team expects to deliver a number of novel nanomaterials as well.
