One Step Ahead with Glatt Powder Synthesis

Extremely high rates of heat and mass transfer

Pulsation maintains a relative velocity between particles and gas stream along the entire length of the reactor. Boundary layers around the particles cannot form. Heat and mass transfer are thus significantly enhanced.

Unique particle structures

The particles form, dry and heat up extremely quickly in Glatt powder synthesis. At the end of the reactor tube the are instantaneous cooled down. This accelerated particle formation and phase transformation ensure the desired reaction states and enable the formation of unique structures.

All processes in a single step

Glatt powder synthesis combines particle formation, drying and calcination and in a single step. If required,  a coating can be integrated to create functional core shell particles with specific layer thickness, porosity and activity properties

Good scalability with maximum flexibility for the process.

The thermodynamic conditions of Glatt powder synthesis are easily adaptable through specific process control. Process conditions such as temperature flow rate, residence time, frequency and amplitude are precisely adjustable. Despite the large number of options for influencing the product, the process remains readily scalable, so that reactor sizes from laboratory to production scale are possible.
