The subject of this brief essay will be methods for producing dispersed phases by means of electrical energy. Electrical methods, which make it possible to obtain dispersoid solutions mainly of elementary, simple substances—metals and metalloids—can be divided into two groups: the first group includes the few cases of atomization observed during cathodic and anodic polarization of certain metals in water or aqueous electrolyte solutions; the second group comprises the most general and practical methods of atomization by means of spark and arc discharge.
