Title: Process for the production of ultrafine powders
Inventor: MCCORMICK PAUL GERARD
IPC: C01F17/235
Filed: 1999-05-17
Granted: 2009-09-15
Abstract: A process for the production of ultrafine powders consisting of individual particles with sizes in the range of 1 nm to 200 nm, which is based on the mechanical milling of two or more non-reacting powders. The process includes subjecting a suitable precursor metal compound and a non-reactant diluent phased to mechanical milling which through the process of mechanical activation reduces the microstructure of the mixture of the form of nano-sized grains of the metal compound uniformly dispersed in the diluent phase. Heat treating the milled powder converts the nano-sized grains of the precursor metal compound into a desired metal oxide phase. Alternatively, the precursor metal compound may itself be an oxide phase which has the requisite milling properties to form nanograins when milled with a diluent. An ultrafine powder is produced by removing the diluent phase such that nano-sized grains of the desired metal oxide phase are left behind. The process facilitates a significant degree of control over the particle size and size distribution of the particles in the ultrafine powder by controlling the parameters of mechanical activation and heat treatment.
