Abstract:
A system, apparatus and method are provided for processing articles. The system includes subsystems for synthesizing, pre-treating, conducting a vapor phase coating process and post-treating articles in the form of powders and solid or porous workpieces. The apparatus permits vapor phase synthesis, treatment and deposition processes to be performed with high efficiency and at high overall throughput. The methods include converting solids, liquids or gases into gaseous and solid streams that can be separated or exchanged with or without treatment and/or coating steps, and produce optimized composite articles for specific applications.

Claim (Index 15):
The apparatus of  claim 14 , further comprising a second precursor delivery system having one or more actuation mechanisms and in fluid communication with said second vapor phase valve assembly or vapor phase pump assembly, said precursor delivery system comprising: i) a second vaporizer unit having an external heating mechanism, ii) a second vaporizer unit having an external cooling mechanism, iii) a second vaporizer unit having an internal heating mechanism, iv) a second vaporizer unit having an internal cooling mechanism, v) a second precursor volume controller configurable to the specific articles and processes being carried out in said second chamber, vi) a second liquid precursor injection pumping system, vii) a second solid precursor metering system, viii) one or more second capillary nozzles sized to the number of moles of precursor intended for delivery into said second chamber, ix) one or more second expansion tanks each having a definable total internal surface area, where the combination of the total surface area in all second expansion tanks is larger than the total active surface area of the articles to be saturated in said second chamber, x) a second vaporizer unit having a rapid thermal treatment system,\n wherein at least one actuation mechanism of a first precursor delivery system is actuated synchronously with at least one actuation mechanism of said second precursor delivery system.
