Low temperature-rapid preparation of HfB<sub>2</sub>–SiC powders by microwave/molten salt assisted boro/carbothermal reduction

Synthesis of HfB2 Powders by Carbothermal Reduction

In this research, solid state carbothermal synthesis of HfB2 Nano powders was investigated. For this purpose, HfO2,H3BO3, carbon active or phenolic resin were used as raw materials for carbothermal reaction. After 2-4 hours of milling the raw materials by a planetary ball in an ethanol media, the mixture was heat dried and pressed in to disks under pressure of 20-30 bar. The disks were then pla...

LOW TEMPERATURE MOLTEN SALT SYNTHESIS OF NANO CRYSTALLINE MgAl2O4 POWDER

Abstract: composition of MgO and nano boehmite. The reactant and potassium chloride, as the reaction media, were fired at800-1000 °C at different dwell times (0.5-5 h) in the ambient atmosphere. After washing and filtration, the spinel nanopowder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) techniques. It was demonstrated tha...

Facile preparation of ordered mesoporous MnCo2O4 for low-temperature selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3.

Ordered mesoporous MnCo2O4 nanomaterials were successfully prepared through the nanocasting route using SBA-15 and KIT-6 as hard templates. These mesoporous nanomaterials were characterized using XRD, BET, TEM, NH3-TPD, H2-TPR, NO-TPD, XPS and DRIFT. The low temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) activity of NO with NH3 was investigated, which revealed that 3D-MnCo2O4 using KIT-6 as a ...

Low temperature synthesis of CaZrO3 nanoceramics from CaCl2–NaCl molten eutectic salt

CaZrO3 nanoceramics were successfully synthesized at 700 C using the molten salt method, and the effects of processing parameters, such as temperature, holding time, and amount of salt on the crystallization of CaZrO3 were investigated. CaCl2, Na2CO3, and nano-ZrO2 were used as starting materials. On heating, CaCl2–NaCl molten eutectic salt provided a liquid medium for the reaction of CaCO3 an...
