The disclosure provides a method for the production of composite particles utilizing a mechano chemical bonding process following by high energy ball milling on a powder mixture comprised of coating particles, first host particles, and second host particles. Electrons from the source impinge upon an x-ray anode, causing the emission of x-ray radiation toward the window. The mixing box includes an air nozzle, a steam nozzle and a mixing box vacuum tube connected to a vacuum pipe. The collector is sized and shaped to fit within a recovery container, which, in turn, is sized and shaped to fit within a collection tube.
