Abstract

An investigation study of the evaporation of Si particles (−2+0.1 mm) and Fe−Si particles (−400+100 μm) in an RF plasma torch has been done. The purity and morphology of the powders have been carried out by the use of different chemical analyses, such as XRD, FTIR, SEM and ICP. The chemical analyses before and after treatment show that the impurity segregations depend on the nature of the matrix.
