Abstract :
The characteristics of the reaction between nano aluminum and water at low temperature were studied. The effects of temperature and additive on reaction rate were derived. The results indicate that the reaction rate of nano aluminum/water increases with the increase of temperature. Moreover, the reaction rate of nano-aluminum/water is enhanced by polyacrylamide. The reaction mechanism of nano-aluminum/water is discussed.
