Abstract

A method and apparatus for producing a directed aerosol stream from gaseous and/or vapor phase reactants by conveying the reactants to a reaction site, reacting the reactants at the reaction site in a flame free chemical reaction to produce an aerosol composition, and causing the aerosol composition to flow from the reaction site and immediately surrounding the aerosol composition with a moving, essentially aerosol free gas and/or vapor stream to form a directed aerosol stream enveloped in the aerosol free stream, in which the step of conveying includes conducting each reactant through a respective distributor and then through a discharge element having a substantially higher flow resistance than the distributor in a substantially vertical upward direction to the reaction site, and the step of causing is carried out so that the aerosol composition flows in a substantially vertical upward direction.
