Abstract

Process for production of sulfur nanoparticles with an average size of 20 nm from an aqueous solution of potassium polysulfide by its mixing with various inorganic and organic acids was considered. It was found that, in the course of time, sulfur nanoparticles are coarsened into micrometer agglomerates, which, in turn, disintegrate under the action of an ultrasound.
