Spray Drying of Lead-Zirconate-Titanate
Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is a ferroelectric material with high piezoelectric properties, which makes it useful in various technological applications such as sensors, actuators, and transducers. Spray drying has been explored as a technique for the production of PZT powders.
The main areas of spray drying of PZT include the electronics and materials science industries. In the electronics industry, spray-dried PZT powders are used in the manufacture of piezoelectric devices such as sensors and transducers. In the materials science industry, spray drying is used as a method for the synthesis of PZT powders with tailored properties, such as particle size, morphology, and composition.
Overall, spray drying of PZT has a specific application in the field of electronics and materials science. The use of spray drying can offer several advantages such as improved control over particle properties, scalability, and reproducibility, making it a preferred technique for the production of PZT powders in these industries. However, it is important to note that the safe handling and disposal of PZT powders is crucial due to the potential toxicity of lead-containing compounds.
