Title:
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MAKING METAL-CONTAINING PARTICLES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/140208
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
According to one or more embodiments presently described, metal-containing particles may be made by a method that includes introducing a molten material into a reaction zone of a reactor system, passing a process gas into the reaction zone in a direction substantially tangential to a sidewall of the reaction zone, and contacting the process gas with the molten material in the reaction zone to form metal-containing particles. The molten material may be introduced into an upper portion of the reaction zone The reaction zone may include a substantially circular cross-section, and the molten metal may be introduced into the reaction zone in a laminar flow or as atomized particles.
