METHOD FOR PRODUCING A LIQUID DISPERSION SUBSTANTIALLY CONTAINING SUBMICRON SIZED METAL PARTICLES

摘要

A continuous method for generating substantially submicron sized metal particles in a liquid dispersion of known viscosity. Metal carbonyl gas (12) and an inert carrier gas (16), with an optional dilutant gas (20), are introduced into a heated liquid bath (24) 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 .
