摘要 |
An apparatus for self-propagating high temperature synthesis of an inorganic compound from a combustible charge mixture (1) comprising a feeding receptacle (2), closed reactor chamber(4), provided with a combustion zone. The apparatus also comprises forwarding means (4), capable to continously advance the charge mixture towards and through the combustion zone. The forwarding means (4) is situated within the housing (36) in such a manner, that the charge mixture deposits on the forwarding means (4) as a layer. The apparatus is provided with a monitoring means to monitor the location of the combustion and detect when the combustion front expands beyond the combustion zone, with an extinguishing means to terminate the combustion reaction, a retaining means (13) and (14) capable to prevent separation of the charge mixture for the forwarding means (4).
