Copper powder generation using the ARC method in water

This study explores the generation of copper powder via the arc method in water, emphasizing the optimization of process parameters such as current intensity, electrode distance, and reaction time. Copper, known for its exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, is widely used across various industries. Traditional production techniques often entail high energy consumption and generate hazardous by-products. In contrast, the arc method presents a sustainable and cost-effective alternative, enabling high purity and customizable particle characteristics. The research aims to establish an experimental setup for copper powder generation, characterize the synthesized powder, and assess its applications. Findings reveal that variations in current significantly affect particle size, morphology, and the rate of powder formation, underscoring the method's efficiency and environmental advantages. Recommendations for future research include extending the arc method to other metals and enhancing its industrial scalability.
