The effect of hydrothermal carbonization on the properties of cellulose present in lignocellulosic biomass was investigated for converting it into a renewable energy resource with high energy recovery efficiency. The biochar obtained from cellulose subjected to hydrothermal carbonization showed a significant increase in its carbon content and a calorific value. 13C NMR spectroscopy showed that ...

cobalt ferrite nano-powder have been obtained through a hydrothermal method with 2:1 molar ratio of fe:co without using any surfactant. x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) were used to consider the structural and morphological properties of cofe2o4 nano-particles. also, edax spectroscopy applied to evaluate the chemical composition. results demonstrated that 15 hr hyd...

Anatase TiO2 nanoparticles with exposed {001} facets were synthesized from Ti powder via a sequential hydrothermal reaction process. At the first-step hydrothermal reaction, H-titanate nanowires were obtained in NaOH solution with Ti powder, and at second-step hydrothermal reaction, anatase TiO2 nanoparticles with exposed {001} facets were formed in NH4F solution. If the second-step hydrotherma...

The influence of reaction conditions on the composition of liquid products during two-stage hydrothermal conversion of alkali lignin has been investigated in a batch reactor. Reactions were carried out in the presence of formic acid (FA) and Pt/Al2O3 catalyst. The two different sets of reaction conditions involved alternative reaction times of 1h and 5h at 265°C and 350°C, respectively. These p...

Iron selenide obtained by mild hydrothermal reaction is not superconducting and exhibits a triclinic crystal structure below 60 K unlike superconducting FeSe from conventional solid state synthesis which is orthorhombic. In contrast, tetragonal iron sulphide FeS from hydrothermal synthesis is superconducting but undergoes no structural change on cooling.

Hydrothermal formation reaction of tobermorite in the autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) process has been investigated by in-situ X-ray diffraction. High-energy X-rays from a synchrotron radiation source in combination with a newly developed autoclave cell and a photon-counting pixel array detector were used. XRD measurements were conducted in a temperature range of 100–190 °C throughout 12 h of...

A novel method which is based on the hydrothermal reaction was employed to synthesize LiV3O8. First, the mixture solution of LiOH, V2O5, and NH4OH was subjected to the hydrothermal reaction. The hydrothermal treatment yielded a clear, homogeneous solution. The evaporation of this solution led to the formation of a precursor gel. The gel was then heated at different temperatures in the range of ...

Nano-sized BaTiO3 powders with particular Nb concentrations were prepared by Rotary- Hydrothermal (RH) method. Hydrothermal method was used at 180 °C for 5 hours with new Ti pressure and the teflon vessel was rotated at a speed of 160 rpm during the hydrothermal reaction. New hydrothermal method was used instead of previous solid state reaction for the system BaTiO3±Nb<sub...
