Abstract:
An apparatus and method for processing particulate matter by exposing the particulate matter to successive surface reactions of at least a first and a second gaseous precursor according to the principles of atomic layer deposition. The apparatus includes a vacuum chamber, a reaction chamber for particulate matter, wherein the reaction chamber is provided inside the vacuum chamber, a vibration mechanism for vibrating particulate matter inside the reaction chamber; and a precursor system arranged to supply the at least first and second gaseous precursors through the reaction chamber for subjecting the particulate matter to the at least first and second gaseous precursors. The method includes the steps of supplying the at least first and second gaseous precursors through the reaction chamber for subjecting the particulate matter to the at least first and second gaseous precursors, and vibrating particulate matter inside the reaction chamber.

Claim (Index 30):
The apparatus according to  claim 20 , wherein the vacuum chamber comprises at least one heater arranged between the inner walls of the vacuum chamber and the outer walls of the reaction chamber for indirect heating of the particulate matter inside the reaction chamber.
