Freeze-Dissolving Method: A Fast Green Technology for Producing Nanoparticles and Ultrafine Powder.

ABSTRACT: A new technology, a freeze-dissolving method, has been developed to isolate nanoparticles or ultrafine powder and is a more efficient and sustainable method than the traditional freeze-drying method. In this work, frozen spherical ice particles were produced with an aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate or ammonium dihydrogen phosphate at various concentrations to generate nanoparticles of NaHCO₃ or (NH₄)(H₂PO₄). The freeze-drying method sublimates ice, and nanoparticles of NaHCO₃ or (NH₄)(H₂PO₄) in the ice templates remain. The freeze-dissolving method dissolves ice particles in a low freezing point solvent at temperatures below 0 °C, and then, nanoparticles of NaHCO₃ or (NH₄)(H<
