  • Disproportionation production of nano-metal powders and nano-metal oxide powders
    Patent number: 9278391
    Abstract: A method of producing nano-metal powder by providing a process metal to be processed. Selecting a metal halide identical to the process metal. Placing the process metal and selected metal halide in a controlled environment so that vapor from the selected metal halide can contact and react with the process metal. Heating the selected metal halide to a selected temperature to achieve vaporization of the selected metal halide at a desired vapor pressure, wherein the selected temperature controls the evaporation rate of the selected metal halide and the rate the nano-metal powder is formed. Heating the process metal to a temperature below the melting point of the process metal. Providing contact between the vapor of the selected metal halide and the process metal to form the nano-metal powder and reform the selected metal halide.
