Notes:
A unique apparatus is described for generating submicron particles of metals over a narrow-size distribution range. Coarse particles of the metal were injected into the tail flame of an argon rf-induction plasma torch, where they were vaporized. The vapor was gas quenched, producing a metallic smoke of fine spheroidal particles. The system collection units separated the fine particles (∼0.3-μm diameter) from the heavier particles (≥1-μm diameter) while the material was finely dispersed and moving in the gas stream.
