A bottom up approach for the preparation of Nano Aluminium Powder (NAP) using a Transferred Arc Thermal Plasma Reactor (TAPR) is described. The aluminium block is subjected to evaporation by the application of a thermal plasma. The aluminium vapour produced is rapidly quenched to room temperature resulting in crystallization of the aluminium vapour in nano-particulate form. Various process parameters, such as the plasma torch power, reactor pressure and plasma gas composition were optimized. This paper also describes the characterization of NAP by analytical methods, for the estimation of the Active Aluminium Content (AAC), Total Aluminium Content (TAC), XRD, bulk density, BET surface area, HR-TEM etc. The results are compared with those for samples prepared in other thermal plasma reactors, such as the DC Arc Plasma Reactor (DCAPR) and the RF Induction Thermal Plasma Reactor (RFITPR), and for commercially available NAP samples (ALEX, prepared by the EEW technique).
