METHOD OF MAKING NANOPOWDERS FROM VARIOUS ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING MATERIALS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B01J19/12 B82B3/00 B82Y40/00 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention may be used in power engineering, chemical and electronic industries. Electrically conducting electrodes are made from selected material. HV pulsed voltage is fed to electrodes to generate high-current discharge so that electrodes are heated and evaporated. Thereafter, produced vapours are cooled and condensed to obtain nanoparticles. Said electrodes are placed in evacuated medium of plasma-forming gas. Said HV pulsed voltage is fed to electrodes unless plasma is formed in interelectrode space to be maintained therein.

EFFECT: higher efficiency.
