A wide range of techniques for the successful synthesis of nanosized materials have been developed recently.These procedures are sufficient for normal scientific investigation; however, for these materials to beincorporated into any practical application, the process for making them must be scalable to a larger volume.In this work, we focus on a published recipe for manganese zinc ferrite (MZFO) nanoparticles, which usesthe reverse micelle synthesis technique. The normal bench-top synthesis has been scaled by a factor of 40and successfully adapted to a 30-L pilot plant. The product of this synthesis is similar to the bench-top sample,which is also comparable to a ceramic MZFO standard. Through this work, we have demonstrated that thereverse micelle process is scalable to larger volumes.
