Combined production of metallic-iron nanoparticles: exergy and energy analysis of two alternative processes using Hydrazine and NaBH4 as reducing agents
This study deals with the simulation of two alternative processes for the coupled production of metallic iron nanoparticles and the necessary reducing agent: hydrated hydrazine and sodium borohydride. After carrying out a sensitivity analysis to identify the optimal operating conditions for each process, the results have been interpreted in the light of energy and exergy analysis.
