Abstract: | Nanosized TiO2 powder with an average primary size of ∼20 nm and surface area of ∼50 m2/g (Aeroxide® P25, Degussa-Evonik, Germany) was used as starting material. A colloidal titania suspension from the same supplier was also used (W740X). The dispersing conditions were studied as a function of pH, dispersant content, and solids loading. Well-dispersed TiO2 nanosuspensions with solids contents up to 30 vol.% (62 wt%) were obtained by dispersing the powder with 4 wt% PAA. Suspensions with solids contents as high as 35 vol.% were prepared by adding the TiO2 nanoparticles to the TiO2 colloidal suspension under optimised dispersing conditions.TiO2 powder reconstitution was performed by spray drying both types of nanosuspensions to obtain free-flowing micrometre-sized nanostructured granules. The spray-dried nanostructured TiO2 granules were deposited on austenitic stainless steel coupons using atmospheric plasma spraying. Coating microstructure and phase composition were characterised using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. |
