It is generally said that the smaller the particle size of the metal compound powder produced by these devices is, the more preferable it is in terms of the performance of the final product. If the diameter becomes too small, there will be a problem in workability. For example, in a magnetic toner, it is necessary to coat or knead the magnetic particles with a resin or the like, but if the particles are too small at this time, the packing rate of the magnetic particles decreases and the magnetization becomes small, or the product is dispersed due to aggregation.

It is desirable that the magnetic recording material has a diameter of several μm or less, and 0.5 to several μm, and if the average particle diameter is approximately 1 μm, it should be used as a suitable material common to these applications.

In addition to the problems of productivity and shape of these produced metal compounds, it is necessary to generate plasma and vaporize the raw materials once, so that the manufacturing apparatus itself becomes expensive and the reaction conditions are controlled. Manufacturing process is complicated, resulting in an increase in manufacturing cost and an expensive product. On the other hand, the firing device such as a rotary kiln is inexpensive in itself, and since the process and control for producing the metal compound powder using the device are simple, the metal compound powder can be manufactured at low cost. Moreover, although it has an advantage that it can be produced in a large amount, the particle size of the metal powder that can be treated is limited, and the particle size is usually from several μm to
Coarse-grained powder with a size of several tens of μm can be processed, but when a powder with a particle size of about 1 μm is to be processed, the powder has a large surface energy, so that the inner wall surface of the reaction vessel during the reaction is treated. It also has the drawback of sticking to each other and sintering of the particles into a large agglomerate. Since the agglomerates formed into this sintered body have high hardness, it takes a very long time to pulverize to a particle size of about 1 μm, which leaves a big problem in the post-treatment process.
