Engineered aluminum oxide (Al2O3), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are utilized in a broad range of applications; causing noticeable quantities of these materials to be released into the environment. Issues of how and where these particles are distributed into the subsurface aquatic environment remain as major challenges for those in environmental enginee...

The present article deals with the development of 3D porous scaffolds for bone grafting. They were prepared based on rapid fluid infiltration of Al2O3-SiO2 sol into a polyethylene non-woven fabric template structure. Titanium dioxide in concentration equal to 5 wt% was added to the Al2O3-SiO2 mixture to produce Al2O3-SiO2-TiO2 composite scaffolds. The prepared scaffolds are characterized by mea...

Abstract In this work hydrothermal synthesis of zeolite NaA crystals with a composition of Al2O3:aSiO2:bNa2O:cH2O was investigated. Effects of SiO2/Al2O3, Na2O/Al2O3 and H2O/Al2O3 ratios and crystallization temperature and time were studied on crystallinity and crystal size of zeolite NaA crystals. It was tried to understand the interactions between these parameters. The crystal species o...

Activity models based on the ion and molecule coexistence theory have been widely used in refining of metallurgical slags, with SiO2 content slag playing a crucial role improving mechanical properties slag-based cementitious materials. In order to improve reactivity slag, this study established activity prediction model for CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-MgO quaternary system theory, validating results using r...

The composites Au/SiO2, Au/TiO2, Au/Al2O3, ZnO/TiO2, ZnO/Al2O3 and Eu2O3/SiO2, Eu2O3/TiO2 Eu2O3/Al2O3 were prepared using a solid-state method. effect of the polymer precursors was investigated two precursor polymers, Chitosan Poly(styrene-co-4vinylpyridine), (PS-co-4-PVP) in M/MxLy•Chitosan//M’xO’y as well M/MxLy•PS-co-4-PVP//M’xO’y with M’xO’y = SiO2, TiO2 Al2O3. effects on particle size morp...

The surface charge properties of two SiO2 and three Al2O3 mineral adsorbents with varying degrees of framework porosity were investigated using discontinuous titration and ion adsorption methodologies. Points of zero net charge (p.z.n.c) for porous and non-porous SiO2 were <2.82 and for Al2O3 minerals ranged from 6.47–6.87. Silica surfaces possessed very slight negative charge in the acid pH ra...

Antireflection (AR) coatings are indispensable in numerous optical applications and are increasingly demanded on highly curved optical components. In this work, optical thin films of SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2 and Ta2O5 were prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD), which is based on self-limiting surface reactions leading to a uniform film thickness on arbitrarily shaped surfaces. Al2O3/TiO2/SiO2 and ...

The adsorption and reaction in supercritical CO2 of the titanate coupling reagent NDZ-201 on the surfaces of seven metal oxide particles, SiO2, Al2O3, ZrO2, TiO2 (anatase), TiO2 (rutile), Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, was investigated. FTIR and TG analysis indicated that the adsorption and reaction were different on different particle surfaces. On SiO2 and Al2O3 particles, there was a chemical reaction of ...

This article explores the effects of SiO2/Al2O3 ratios (S/A) on sintering characteristics and provides guidance for alleviating ash depositions in a large-scale circulation fluidized bed. Five synthetic coal ash (SCA) samples with different S/As were treated in a muffle furnace for 12 h at different temperatures (from 773 K to 1373 K, in 100 K intervals). The morphological and chemical results ...

The interlayer adhesion in the multilayered micro-devices is of significant importance for their electronic properties. scratch test applied here using a micro-blade sliding under linearly increased load, combined with optical and SEM visualization, to study Al2O3/GR/SiO2/Si Al2O3/hBN/GR/SiO2/Si stacks. failure interlayers determined by critical load at which sudden change coefficient friction ...
