Powder Synthesis and Thermodynamics of Solutions

This lecture covers various methods for powder synthesis, including sol-gel precipitation, hydrothermal synthesis, and spray-pyrolysis, as well as the principles and mechanisms of vapor phase synthesis. It also discusses the thermodynamics of solutions in powder production, emphasizing the importance of controlled drying processes. The presentation explores the applications of these synthesis techniques in producing high-purity ceramic powders and industrial products like catalysts and electronic materials.
