Design and implementation of an automated spray pyrolysis technique

Abstract

In this work, we present the design and implementation of a Spray Pyrolysis automated equipment using different hardware and software components. The apparatus was designed using Solidworks software and then built with steel iron with dimensions of 400 x 450 x 600 mm. Several pieces were added in order to assemble the whole system. With the aim of realizing the control part of the automated system, a program was written on the MPLAB X IDE and transferred via Pickit 2 to the microcontroller PIC 18 F 4550 . Multiple tests were performed to check the application’s performance. In the end, a low-cost prototype that performs the Spray Pyrolysis technique automatically was realized.
