Abstract
This invention discloses a method of making an oxygen scavenging particle comprised of an activating component and an oxidizable component wherein one component is deposited upon the other component from a vapour phase and is particularly useful when the activating component is a protic solvent hydrolysable halogen compound and the oxygen scavenging particle is a reduced metal.
Claims45
A process for manufacturing oxygen scavenging particles wherein the particles comprise at least one oxidizable component and at least one activating component, and said process comprises contacting the oxidizable component with a gas containing a vapour of the activating component and depositing the activating component from the gas onto the oxidizable component in either a liquid or solid form and the oxidizable component is in the form of particles.
