Abstract

Silica and titania particles are readily synthesized by the hydrolysis of alkoxides in various alcohols. The present research studies experimentally and models the chemistry and growth kinetics of silica and titania particles in low molecular weight alcohols (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol). The theoretical model is based on solving the hydrolysis and condensation kinetic expressions and applying the method of moments to expedite the solution of the governing population balance equation.
