We report synthesis of ZrO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) using microwave assisted chemical method at 80°C temperature. Synthesized ZrO₂ NPs were calcinated at 400°C under air atmosphere and characterized using FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, BET, and EDS for their formation, structure, morphology, size, and elemental composition. XRD results revealed the formation of mixed phase monoclinic and tetragonal ZrO₂ phas...

The compounds, lanthanium chromite, lanthanium magnetite and lanthanium ferric oxide were prepared through sol-gel methods in powdered form, then calcinated, peletized, and sintered at various temperatures. Electrical conductivity of these compounds was measured at various temperatures. The effectiveness of strontium as a dopant on electrical conductivity was also investigated. Electrical condu...

Abstract This paper deals with the use of calcinated clay and micronized limestone as supplementary cementitious materials (SMCs) for preparation blended Portland cement CEM II/B-M (Q-LL). Clay used in this study was at 700°C pozzolanic activity after calcination assessed using accelerated R3 test modified Chapelle test. The influence addition on mechanical properties hydration process investig...

A possibility of the creation of potentiometric biosensor by adsorption of enzyme urease on zeolite was investigated. Several variants of zeolites (nano beta, calcinated nano beta, silicalite, and nano L) were chosen for experiments. The surface of pH-sensitive field-effect transistors was modified with particles of zeolites, and then the enzyme was adsorbed. As a control, we used the method of...

As bimodal magnetic-fluorescent imaging agents, the preparation of ZnS:Tb,Gd and ZnS:Er,Yb,Gd nanoparticles via a facile homogeneous precipitation method is reported. The results show that these nanoparticles are almost spherical in shape with a diameter of 100-200 nm approximately and a major phase of wurtzite-structured ZnS. The products can successfully label the human hepatocellular carcino...

Rice husk biochar (RHB) and phosphate rock (PR) are locally accessible resources that poor farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) can utilize to increase rice productivity. However, biochars variable depending on feedstock, pyrolysis temperature, duration. Phosphate rocks from SSA of low solubility. The goal this study was determine whether (RH), calcination PR, the calcination/pyrolysis a RHB-PR ...
