Abstract:

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 and ZrO2 to form CaZrO3. The results demonstrated that CaZrO3 started to form at about 600C and that, after the temperature was increased to 1,000C, the amounts of CaZrO3 in the resultant powders increased with a concomitant decrease in CaCO3and ZrO2 contents. After washing with hot distilled water, the samples heated for 3 h at 700C were single-phase CaZrO3 with 90–95 nm particle size. Furthermore, the synthesized CaZrO3 particles retained the size and morphology of the ZrO2 powders which indicated that a template mechanism dominated the formation of CaZrO3 by molten-salt method.

Electrodeposition of Zinc From Low Temperature Molten Salt Electrolyte: Part I-Imidazole And Zinc-Chloride Electrolyte

Our R & D work was focused on the electro deposition of Zinc from imidazole as low temperature molten salt (LTMS) electrolyte with zinc chloride as a supporting salt at <100o C., without required controls from the previous existing non aqueous baths as well additive free system for the zinc deposition. Surface morphological studies and crystallographic orientation results were evaluated.

Molten Salt Synthesis of Calcium Hydroxyapatite Whiskers

Calcium hydroxyapatite (HA) whiskers and crystals were produced by the route of molten salt synthesis. The effects on whisker morphology of chosen flux, flux-to-HA ratio, synthesis temperature, and reaction time were investigated. The thermal stabilities of the produced whiskers were tested at 1300°C in an air atmosphere. A tentative X-ray diffraction pattern was proposed for the HA whiskers. M...

EFFECT OF ZrO2 PARTICLE SIZE ON MORPHOLOGY and SYNTHESIS OF NANO CaZrO3Via MOLTEN SALT METHOD

Well crystallized pure calcium zirconate (CaZrO3 ) nanopowder was successfully synthesized using the molten-salt method. CaCl2 , Na 2CO3, micro-ZrO 2and nano-ZrO 2 were used as starting materials. On heating, Na2CO3 reacted with CaCl 2to form NaCl and CaCO 3. Nano CaZrO 3 was formed by reacting equimolar amounts of in situformed CaCO 3 (or CaO) and ZrO 2 in molten Na 2CO3-NaCl e...

Electrochemical Synthesis of Magnesium Hexaboride by Molten Salt Technique

The present work reports electrochemical synthesis of MgB6 from molten salts using the precursor consists of LiF-B2O3-MgCl2. An attempt has been made to synthesize metastable phase MgB6 crystal by electrolysis method. DTA/TGA studies were made to determine the eutectic point of the melt and it was found to be around 900°C. The electrolysis was performed at 900°C under argon atmosphere, at curre...
