Specific Surface Area Increment of Alumina Nanoparticles Using Mineral Fuels in Combustion Synthesis
Authors
Abstract:
Ammonium carbonate and ammonium sulfate have been proposed and used as two new fuels for synthesizing gamma alumina nanoparticles. The prepared samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), 2 N adsorption (BET) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A comparison has been made between the properties of the nanoparticles synthesized by these two fuels and other conventional fuels. These two mineral fuels showed to be suitable for replacing organic fuels in combustion synthesis because they reduce the size and increase specific surface area of alumina nanoparticles effectively.

In the present investigation, γ-alumina nanoparticles with particle sizes less than 10 nm, high specific surface area (351 m2/g), high pore volumes and relatively narrow pore sizes distribution was prepared via sol-gel method in presence of aluminum isopropoxide as an aluminum precursor, distilled water, acetic acid as hydrolysis rate controller and tert-butanol as solvent. They had meso ...
full textTHE EFFECT OF GRINDING TIME ON THE SPECIFIC SURFACE AREA DURING INTENSIVE GRINDING OF MINERAL POWDERS
Abstract: the changes of BET surface area of a mineral substance during intensive grinding process. Validity of the proposedmodel was tested by the experiments performed using a natural chalcopyrite mineral as well as the published data. Itwas shown that the model can predict the experimental results with a very good accuracy and can be used to predictwhat may happen under the similar experimen...
full textMechanochemical synthesis of alumina nanoparticles
Abstract: Nano- size alumina particles have been synthesized by mechanical activation of a dry powder mixture of AlCl3 and CaO. Mechanical milling of the above raw materials with the conditions adopted in this study resulted in the formation of a mixture consisting of crystalline CaO and amorphous aluminum chlorides phases. There was no sign of chemical reaction occurring during milling stag...
full textMicrowave-Assisted Synthesis of Alumina Nanoparticles Using Some Plants Extracts
In present study we used five green plants for microwave assisted synthesis of Alumina nanoparticles from Aluminum nitrate. Structural characterization was studied using x-ray diffraction that showed semi- crystalline and possibly, amorphous structure. Fourier infrared spectroscopy was used to determine Al-O bond and functional groups responsible for synthesis of nanoparticles. FTIR confirmed e...
full textCombustion synthesis of Ga2O3 nanoparticles
Nanophase of Ga2O3 has potentially important applications in photocatalysis. We report the synthesis of nanophase of the metastable cand stable b-Ga2O3 and demonstrate that it is possible to prepare a continuously varying mixture starting from the pure metastable cto the pure b-phase. This is achieved by employing a facile and reliable combustion route, using urea as a fuel. Typical grain sizes...
