Title:
ATOMIZATION TECHNIQUE FOR PRODUCING FINE PARTICLES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005023431
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a novel process for atomizing a liquid material or a mixture of liquid materials. More specifically, this disclosure advances the art by utilizing the inertial forces created in an elevated acceleration environment to further miniaturize and enhance the characteristics of particles resulting from atomization. The key to this disclosure is to subject a melt material to an elevated acceleration and pass a fluid over the surface of the melt. The purpose of the elevated acceleration is to elevate the relative importance of gravitational forces in the melt thus miniaturizing any gravity influenced disturbance.
