Abstract
Gold nanoparticles, with a size ranging from 1 to 50 nm, were synthesized in a microchannel reactor using a photochemical continuous two-phase flow method. Gold reduction was executed with a photoinitiator (Irgacure 2959) and by exposure to ultraviolet light. A numerical simulation, during which we used the Volume of Fluid method VOF in the software Ansys Fluent, was conducted as a preliminary study of the hydrodynamic behavior of the two phase flow (water-oxygen).
