Abstract

Very finely divided lithium. A mixture of inert gas and fine particles of lithium in suspension in the said gas is filtered on a bed of solid bodies which can be stirred, the mesh size of said bodies, the height of said bed and the speed of stirring being such that the metal particles are retained without causing the formation of a metallic slab on the surface. The suspensions of fine lithium particles in solutions are stable.
