Industry news

Inorganic synthesis is an important branch of the chemical synthesis with the aim of the production of new materials with new functions for new applications.

Changing the conventional methodologies of inorganic synthesis to more environmental-friendly and cost effective methods has opened up new avenues to achieve an enhanced and novel sustainable chemistry, thus contributing to the preservation of the natural environment. These routes, such as the microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis provide the use of microwaves combined with the efficiency of the hydrothermal method. This facilitate the engineering of a wide variety of high-quality materials such as nano-sized rare earth doped ceria with fluorite structure for SOFC electrolyte applications, BiFeO3 perovskite with multiferroic properties and H2V3O8 with one-dimensional (1D) nanostructure for lithium battery technology.

During this webinar, Milestone will go through the complete and up-to-date possibilities offered by the combination of two rapid and “Green Chemistry” synthesis techniques: hydrothermal synthesis and microwave synthesis. The goal is to minimize heat exposure and reaction times for chemical synthesis. Moreover, the particle sizes and shapes of the product can be fine-tuned by the synthesis parameters.

Take Part in the Complimentary, Live Webinar!

You’ll interact with the experts who are breaking ground in this field of research: Emilio Miguélez Morán, professor at University of Madrid and Diego Carnaroglio, PhD, synthesis specialist at Milestone Srl.

You’ll learn about the newest tools and technologies while gathering valuable tips and troubleshooting strategies for the applications most relevant to your processes.

synthWAVE microwave synthesis system

Milestone

The Milestone synthWAVE is designed for safe, reliable and reproducible scale-up of microwave enhanced chemical reactions. The synthWAVE is capable of higher temperature and pressure than any other microwave reactors. Milestone synthWAVE features the unmatched Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) patented technology that ensures scale, reaction screening, highest temperature and pressure. It is able to handle single or multiple reactions at temperatures up to 300 °C and pressures up to 199 bar.
