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...

s-doped and bare mesoporous tio2 were prepared using titanium tetraisopropoxide and thiocarbamide as raw materials. prepared materials were characterized by means of fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ft-ir, thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (tg-dsc), x-ray diffraction (xrd), uv–vis absorption spectroscopy, brunauer–emmett–teller (bet) specific surface area and barrett–joy...

High surface area activated carbon fibers (ACF) have been prepared from bamboo by steam activation after liquefaction and curing. The influences of activation temperature on the microstructure, surface area and porosity were investigated. The results showed that ACF from bamboo at 850 °C have the maximum iodine and methylene blue adsorption values. Aside from the graphitic carbon, phenolic and ...

Effects of the synthesis parameters on the structural properties of molybdenum nitride catalysts, prepared by the temperatureprogrammed reaction of MoO3 with NH3, have been examined. Molybdenum trioxide was heated in flowing NH 3 through two linear heating segments (623 to 723 K then 723 to 973 K) with different space velocities in a 23 factorial design. The temperature limits for these heating...

The synthesis of highly-crystalline porous TiO(2) microspheres is reported using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) in the presence of colloidal silica as a template. We have exploited the interactions between hot SiO(2) template particles surface and TiO(2) precursor that occur during reaction inside the droplets, to control the physical and chemical properties of the resulting particles. Varyin...

A novel adsorbent for arsenic (V) removal from wastewater was developed through simple chemical processes using a special iron-abundant fly ash. In the synthesis process, the inherent iron in the fly ash was rearranged and loaded on the surface of the fly ash by dissolution and precipitation processes. The adsorbent (HIOFAA) was characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, LPS and BET surface area. The re...

Activated carbon was prepared through chemical activation of lignin from a straw pulping precursor, using K2CO3 and KOH as chemical agents. To optimize the preparation method, the effect of the main process parameters (such as impregnation ratio, activation temperature and activation time) on the performance of the obtained activated carbon (expressed in terms of iodine number and yield of acti...

Five nanoporous carbons (NPCs) were prepared by polymerizing and then carbonizing carbon precursor of furfuryl alcohol accommodated in a porous metal–organic framework (MOF-5, [Zn4O(bdc)3], bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) template. The Brunauer–Emmett– Teller (BET) surface areas for five NPC samples obtained by carbonizing at the temperatures from 530 to 1000 C fall into the range from 1140 to ...

CuO-CeO2 nanocomposite is reported as a green recyclable catalyst for the chemoselective synthesis of pentaerythritol diacetals from aromatic aldehydes under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst was synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized by XRD, BET specific surface area, FESEM and EDS analysis. This procedure provides some advantages such as simple work-up, clean procedure, ...

TiO2 nanotubes attract much attention because of their high photoelectron-chemical and photocatalytic efficiency. But their large band gap leads to a low absorption of the solar light and limits the practical application. How to obtain TiO2 nanotubes without any dopant and possessing visible light response is a big challenge nowadays. Orthorhombic titanic acid nanotubes (TAN) are a special prec...
