  • the present invention is a continuous process for the production of nanoparticles containing at least one metal oxide, wherein the nanoparticles thus produced are characterized in that they have a narrow particle size distribution and can be prepared in large quantities on an industrial scale.

  • Nanoparticles are particles of the order of nanometers. Their size is in the transition region between atomic or monomolecular systems and continuous macroscopic structures. In addition to their usually very large surfaces, nanoparticles are characterized by particular physical and chemical properties, which differ significantly from those of larger particles. For example, nanoparticles often have a lower melting point, absorb light only at shorter wavelengths, and have different mechanical, electrical, and magnetic properties than macroscopic particles of the same material. By using nanoparticles as building blocks, many of these special properties can also be used for macroscopic materials (Winnacker / Kuchler, Chemischetechnik: Processes and Products, (Ed .: R.
