Small size, big stories.

Particular Materials has developed a proprietary, patent-pending process for the continuous synthesis of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles from aqueous solutions, using supercritical water. The method is energy-efficient, solvent-free, and safe for operators and the environment. Building on this technology, Particular Materials has discovered that industrial wastewaters can serve directly as metal precursors, enabling the clean and complete recovery of pure metallic nanopowders, while generating a metal-free aqueous phase that can be reused.

This approach brings several advantages:

· Circular use of water and no chemical additives
· Secondary raw materials recovered in usable powder form
· Heat-powered process, ideal where waste heat is available
· Modular and scalable system, adaptable to various industrial streams.

The project aims to validate the feasibility, scalability, and industrial adaptability of this next-generation wastewater treatment, transforming an environmental challenge into a sustainable production opportunity.
