While preparation of metal oxide from metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has been widely studied, crystal growth via thermal decomposition of MOFs in a confined space is rarely investigated. We demonstrate a confinement effect on the crystal growth via pyrolysis of MOFs at high temperature. Iron containing MOF (Fe-MIL-88A) was calcined inside a SiO2. The crystalline phase, particle size, morpholog...

spherical granules of the superionic conductor β/β́ lizr2(po4)3 in the range of sub 100 nm sizewere synthesizedvia freeze drying methodand fully reviewed in all aspects. samples were characterized by the x-ray diffractometry (xrd), the thermal analysis (tg, dsc), thefourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (ftir) and the scanning electron microscopy (sem).their structuredepends largely on the me...

The incorporation of several industrial wastes in ceramic matrixes had been attempted as an effective low expense technique for the fixation of metallic species in usable products or simply to reduce the residue volume for further disposal. However, the dominant mechanism of the inertization process and the relevant influent parameters are still unknown, mostly due to the complexity of the syst...

LiMn(2)O(4-y)Br(y) nanoparticles were synthesized successfully for the first time by a room temperature solid-state coordination method. X-ray diffractometry patterns indicated that the LiMn(2)O(4-y)Br(y) powders were well-crystallized pure spinel phase. Transmission electron microscopy images showed that the LiMn(2)O(4-y)Br(y) powders consisted of small and uniform nanosized particles. Synthes...

Crab's shells of Portunus pelagicus species were used as raw materials for synthesis of hydroxyapatite were used for protection against demineralization of teeth. Calcination was conducted to crab's shells of Portunus pelagicus at temperature of 1000°C for 5 hours. The results of calcination was reacted with (NH4)2HPO4, then dried at 110°C for 5 hours. Sintering was conducted to results of prec...

Zeolites Na-A and Na-X are important synthetic zeolites widely used for separation and adsorption in industry. It is of great significance to develop energy-efficient routines that can synthesize zeolites Na-A and Na-X from low-cost raw materials. Coal fly ash (CFA) is the major residue from the combustion of coal and biomass containing more than 85% SiO2 and Al2O3, which can readily replace th...
