Highly dispersed cobalt-silicon mixed oxide [Co-SiO2] nanosphere was successfully prepared with a modified reverse-phase microemulsion method. This material was characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra, X-ray absorption spectroscopy near-edge structure, and N2 adsorption-desorption...

Nano-structured copper oxides were successfully prepared through direct calcination of 1D ladderlike metal-organic framework [Cu2(btec)(2,2'-bipy)2]∞, (btec = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate and 2,2'-bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and porous coordination polymer [Cu(BDC)(bipy)](BDCH2), (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate; bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine). The nano-structure of the as-synthesized samples are charac...

so42-/zno-tio2 catalyst was prepared by sulfating zno-tio2 powders with h2so4 solution. the catalyst was characterized by xrd, ir and hammett indicator. the catalyst showed strong acidity(h0 ≦-16.0). the optimum conditions are found that the calcination temperature is 823k and the soaked consistency of h2so4 is 1 mol/dm3. then so42-/zno-tio2 was applied as the catalyst in the catalytic synthesi...

a novel nano – sized  manganese (ii) coordination polymer, [{mn(ncs)2(l)(h2o)2}(l)]n  , (1) (l- = 4,4'-bipyridine), have been synthesized by a sonochemical process and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), x-ray diffraction (xrd), ir spectroscopy and elemental analysis.  direct calcination of the single crystals and nano-sized compound 1 at 400 0c under air atmosphere yields...

The interaction of vanadium oxide and niobium oxide with A1203 and TiO2 supports is examined with Raman spectroscopy. The Raman spectra of the supported metal oxides reveal that the strong interaction of the metal oxides with AI203 and TiO2 supports results in the formation of two-dimensional surface metal oxide overlayers. The surface vanadium oxide overlayers are unstable to high calcination ...

A one-dimensional mathematical model was developed for the simulation of limestone calcination in rotary kilns. The model is comprised of ordinary differential equations derived from mass and energy conservation principles. The system of equations is solved by a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The model predicts, in the axial direction, temperature profiles for the bed of particles, the gas ph...

Four types of synthetic sorbents were developed for high-temperature post-combustion calcium looping CO2 capture using Longcal limestone. Pellets were prepared with: lime and cement (LC); lime and flour (LF); lime, cement and flour (LCF); and lime, cement and flour doped with seawater (LCFSW). Flour was used as a templating material. All samples underwent 20 cycles in a TGA under two different ...

Mesostructured nickel oxide was formed with nickel sulfate and cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks at low scattering angles and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that a mesostructure was formed. However, these XRD patterns disappeared after calcination. The addition of sodium silicate in the precursor solutions produced a mesos...

Recycled chicken eggshells after calcination have been used as a nonconventional heterogeneous catalyst for biodiesel synthesis from karanja oil from the pongam tree (Pongamia pinnata). The catalyst was characterized on X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetric analysis (DTA/TGA). The formation of the calcium oxi...
