Danish company Niro is playing a key role in a €15.7M project for the production of materials and products using nanoparticles. The four-year SAPHIR project is partially funded by the EC and involves 21 industrial partners including SMEs, universities and research institutions from 11 European countries and Canada. Its overall objective is the safe, integrated, controlled, economic production and recycling of high tech, multifunctional, nano structured products.
Niro’s role in the project is to integrate spray drying into a novel processing line from nanoparticles synthesis to production of nanostructured components. To be handled safely, nanopowders should be incorporated in another medium or converted to non dusting agglomerates or granules using, for example, spray drying. The company’s objectives within the SAPHIR project are to enable its spray drying equipment to produce optimal nanostructured granulates from nanoparticle suspensions which can be processed into components with superior properties.
