1 2 The hydrothermal carbonation of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2) at high pressure of CO 2 3 (initial P CO2 = 55 bar) and moderate to high temperature (30 and 90°C) was used to synthesize 4 fine particles of calcite. This method allows a high carbonation efficiency (about 95% of 5 Ca(OH) 2-CaCO 3 conversion), a significant production rate (48 kg/m 3 h) and high purity of 6 product (about 96%). H...

Nanoparticulate zirconium tungstate prepared through hydrothermal methods was found to autohydrate under ambient conditions. This results in positive thermal expansion, limiting its usefulness for controlled thermal expansion composites. TEM and BET studies provided strong evidence that the cause of autohydration is a result of structural defects present in the nanoparticles, while kinetics are...

Fe3O4/CuO/ZnO nanocomposites with different molar ratio were synthesized using sol-gel method. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UVvisible spectroscopy, BET surface area analyszer, and Electron Spin Resonance (ESR). The sonocatalytic-photocatalytic-sonophotocatalytic activity of as-synthesized samples was investigated based on methylene blue degradation. ...

Magnetic hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (MNHAP) adsorbents were synthesized and were used for the removal of Cd2+ and Zn2+ from aqueous solutions. The properties of this magnetic adsorbent were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive analysis system of X-ray (EDAX), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis, zeta potential, BET surface area measurements and magnetizat...

This study focusses on reporting a facile one-step synthesis method to fabricate calcium phosphate-microcrystalline cellulose composite with an enhanced surface area. The preparation is done using simple called co-precipitation under ambient and 60 °C temperature. carbonate orthophosphoric acid are taken, which the two best known widely available starting materials for of phosphate. sample coll...

The Urushibara Ni (U-Ni) hydrogenation catalyst and some modified forms, and for comparison Raney-Ni, were subjected to conventional (oil bath) and MW heating, and subsequently characterized by electron dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), by BET surface area, and by scanning electron microscopy (SEM); yields of the catalyzed hydrogenation of acetophenone to 1-phenylethanol in 2-propanol by one of ...

Iron containing porous organic polymers (Fe-POPs) have been synthesized by a facile one-pot bottom-up approach to porphyrin chemistry by an extended aromatic substitution reaction between pyrrole and aromatic dialdehydes in the presence of small amount of Fe(III). The Fe-POPs possess very high BET surface area, large micropores and showed excellent CO(2) capture (~19 wt%) at 273 K/1 bar.

This work shows the influence of specific surface area (BET) and surface pH of different activated carbons on the photocatalytic activity of UV-irradiated TiO2 in the 4-chlorophenol (4CP) photodegradation. Carbons were prepared from sawdust of Tabebuia Pentaphyla wood by physical activation with CO2 and by pyrolysis under N2 flow at temperatures from 450 up to 1000oC during 1h Chemical activati...

Copper, zinc, and cerium oxide adsorbents supported on alumina were used to remove silane gas (SiH4). The adsorbents were prepared using a coprecipitation method and characterized by the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, X-ray powder diffractometer, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET). The silane removal efficiency and adsorption capacity of the adsorbents were investigated in t...
