Abstract:
The aim of this study is to characterise the nucleation, growth and aggregation of Fe3+ and Al (oxy)hydroxide nanoparticles during the early stages (seconds) formation, and the effect of contaminants on these processes. The reactions will be characterised using synchrotron-based in situ time-resolved Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) and ex situ TEM, using nanoprobe techniques to determine information about the structure of individual particles at different stages during the formation process.
