Abstract

A process is provided that permits the rapid quenching of molten ceramics by passing a flow of the molten ceramic into a turbulent fluid flow such that the flow is broken up into particles which then solidify as they pass into and through a cyclone and are finally separated from the fluid flow and collected as dry particulate ceramic materials.
