Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process for producing a metal oxide powder proceeds by spray pyrolysis, in which a mixture comprising ammonia and an aerosol which is obtained by atomizing a solution containing a metal compound by means of an atomization gas is introduced into a high-temperature zone of a reaction space and reacted in an oxygen-containing atmosphere therein and the solids are subsequently separated off.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A process for producing a metal oxide powder by spray pyrolysis, said process comprising: introducing a mixture comprising ammonia and an aerosol which is obtained by atomizing a solution containing a metal compound by an atomization gas into a high-temperature zone of a reaction space, reacting said mixture in an oxygen-containing atmosphere in said reaction space, and subsequently separating the solids off. 2 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein the concentration of ammonia is 0.5-5.0 kg NH 3 /kg of the metal used. 3 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein the high-temperature zone into which the mixture is introduced is a flame which is formed by the reaction of an oxygen-containing gas and a combustion gas. 4 . The process according to claim 3 , wherein the flame and the mixture are at least partly spatially separated from one another within the reaction space. 5 . The process according to claim 4 , wherein the following applies to the ratio of mean velocity of the flame to mean velocity of the mixture: 2≦v flame /v mixture ≦10. 6 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein at least one metal compound is a nitrate. 7 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein the metal component of the metal compounds is selected from the group consisting of Ag, Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Nb, Ni, Pd, Rh, Ru, Sc, Si, Sn, Sr, Ta, Ti, V, Y and Zn.
