PARTICLE FORMATION IN GASES - A REVIEW

A review of recent progress on particle formation in gases for synthes is of materials is given focus in the session Particle Formation in Ga ses at the First International Forum on Particle Technology held in De nver, CO, in August 1994. Most of the papers dealt with powder synthes is from gases and, to a lesser extent, from suspended droplets. Major advances were reported on particle formation in flames, spray pyrolysi s, agglomerate dynamics, reactor design and on formation of solid powd ers from sprays. This article summarizes the proceedings of the above session and highlights the most important results as they came across at the ensuing discussions.
