  • PROCESS FOR PRODUCING METAL POWDERS
    Publication number: 20080289447
    Abstract: A process for the production of extra fine spherical metal powders by chemical vapor deposition and dissolution techniques, including metal carbonyls, wherein the metal containing process gas is propelled upwardly through a heated reactor.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 15, 2007
    Publication date: November 27, 2008
    Applicant: CVRD INCO LIMITED
    Inventors: Kenneth Stark Coley, Armen Markarian, Shadi Saberi, Randal Mark Shaubel, Rinaldo A. Stefan, Lloyd Matt Timberg, Eric Bain Wasmund
  • Process for producing metal powders
    Patent number: 7344584
    Abstract: A process for the production of extra fine spherical metal powders by chemical vapor deposition and dissolution techniques, including metal carbonyls, wherein the metal containing process gas is propelled upwardly through a heated reactor. By employing an upward gas flow as opposed to the conventional downward gas flow, a closer approximation of theoretical plug-flow velocity profiles are achieved thusly resulting in a desirably narrower size particle distribution obviating or reducing the need for subsequent classification techniques.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 3, 2004
    Date of Patent: March 18, 2008
    Assignee: Inco Limited

  • Two experimental trials using the system 10 demonstrate the efficacy of the present process:
    Patent number: 6506229
    Abstract: A continuous method for generating substantially submicron sized metal particles in a liquid dispersion of known viscosity. Metal carbonyl gas and an inert carrier gas, with an optional dilutant gas, are introduced into a heated liquid bath wherein the metal carbonyl decomposes into submicron sized pure metal particles. The particles are suspended in the liquid. The liquid is processed to form slurries and pastes.
