Abstract
A system for the exfoliation of a layered material is described, comprising in combination: an exfoliation station (-) operating on a volume of a dispersion of a layered precursor material, including a wet-jet milling device (); and a collecting station (), located downstream of the exfoliation station (-), operating on a volume of a dispersion of the at least partly exfoliated material, in which the exfoliation station (-) and the collecting station () are connected to each other through a fluid communication path () along which there are interposed flow regulating means () adapted to assume a first operating configuration in which the communication path () between the exfoliation station (-) and the collecting station () is discontinued, where the exfoliation station (-) is adapted to subject a volume of dispersion of layered precursor material to a predetermined number of wet jet milling cycles; and a second operating configuration in which the communication path () between the exfoliation station (-) and the collecting station () is continuous, where the exfoliation station (-) is adapted to convey a volume of previously milled dispersion including at least partly exfoliated material to the collecting station () and is placed in communication with a supply chamber () to be fed with a further volume of a dispersion of layered precursor material that has to be exfoliated.
