Production of Al-O-N nanopowders in a plasma reactor with a limited jet flow

Abstract

Experimental studies on the synthesis of aluminum oxynitride nanopowders in a reactor with a confined plasma jet by the interaction of disperse aluminum with ammonia and oxygen in a flow of nitrogen plasma generated in an electric arc plasma torch are performed. Preliminary calculations of the equilibrium compositions and thermodynamic characteristics of the multicomponent Al–O–N system are carried out.
