Abstract:
Provided is a clean production method of: producing, with good reproducibility, a composite nanoparticle, which has one high purity noble metal nanoparticle combined with one oxide nanoparticle; and being capable of generating a heterointerface uniformly, with avoiding, for example, residual poisoning substances. Characterized is that a composite nanoparticle (M-A x O y ) is produced by: generating, in an inert gas, an alloy (A-M) nanoparticle, which contains 0.1 at.% to 30 at.% of a noble metal (M), with the balance being a base metal (A) and inevitable impurities, and which has a particle size of 1 nm to 100 nm (preferably 1 nm to 100 nm), to heat the alloy (A-M) nanoparticle and to bring the alloy nanoparticle into contact with a supplied oxidizing gas during transporting the alloy nanoparticle with the inert gas, to oxidize the base metal component (A) in the alloy (A-M) nanoparticle floating in the gases, and to phase separate into the thus-oxidized base metal component (A x O y ) and the noble metal component (M), to thereby obtain a composite nanoparticle (M-A x O y ).

Abstract:
The invention relates to a combustion device (1), wherein a combustion chamber (2) of the combustion device (1) has an exhaust gas opening (8). It is proposed that the combustion chamber (2) has a first region (4), that the first region (4) has a plurality of circular-segment-shaped cross-sections, which are parallel to each other and each have a circle centre point, wherein a connection of the circle centre points lies substantially on an axis (19), that a gas supply line (5) is connected to the combustion chamber (2) in such a way that a discharge point (6) is formed, that the combustion chamber (2) has a mixing region (7) in the region of the discharge point (6) for mixing gas supplied via the gas supply line (5) with gas rotating in the combustion chamber (2), and that the discharge point (6) is arranged on a bottom side of the combustion chamber (2) in an operating position, wherein gas supplied via the gas supply line (5) flows against the first region (4) tangentially from below.
Abstract:
A method for treating a porous item (20) constructed of metal powder, such as a powder made of Series 400 stainless steel, involves a step of preheating the porous item to a temperature of between about 700 and 900° C degrees in an oxidizing atmosphere and then sintering the body in an inert or reducing atmosphere at a temperature which is slightly below the melting temperature of the metal which comprises the porous item. The thermal stability of the resulting item is enhanced by this method so that the item retains its porosity and metallic characteristics, such as ductility, at higher (e.g. near-melting) temperatures.
Abstract:
A method for producing a porous metal powder comprising subjecting a starting metal to an oxidation treatment and then to a reduction treatment, characterized in that the starting metal is oxidized in the presence of chlorine and/or a chloride. Massive metal bodies formed after reduction comprise pillar-shaped particles being entangled in one another as are rootstocks, and thus, the metal powder has open pores.
