Title:
METHODS FOR FORMING METAL-CONTAINING PARTICLES IN BARTON REACTORS AND FOR RETROFITTING BARTON REACTORS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/140205
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
According to one or more embodiments presently described, metal-containing particles may be formed by a method including forming a molten material from a solid supply material, introducing the molten material into a reaction zone of a Barton reactor, and contacting the molten material with a processing gas in the reaction zone to form solid metal-containing particles comprising solid metallic particles and solid metal oxide particles. The Barton reactor may include a reaction vessel which may include a top cover and sidewalls defining the reaction zone, an agitator, a processing gas inlet, and a product outlet. The molten material may be introduced to the reaction zone in a laminar flow or as atomized molten particles. Less than 99% of the particles may include metal oxide.
