Se ha estudiado el comportamiento tribológico de materiales compuestos matriz metálica aluminio (AA5083)/nano-Al2O3 con un porcentaje refuerzo variable 2, 4, 6 y 8% en peso partículas nano-Al2O3. Los Al/nano-Al2O3 se prepararon utilizando una ruta colada por agitación. Las imágenes microscopía electrónica barrido (MEB) los sugirieron dispersión casi uniforme las nanopartículas la Al. El al desg...

In recent years, the effects of heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidation of organic and inorganic pollutants in industrial wastewaters are spread. Traditionally, these reactions are usually carried out using suspensions of photo-catalysts such as TiO2. A chemical method including TiCl4, Al(NO3)3, ethanol amine, ethyl acetoacetate and aqueous ammonia were used for the fabrication of TiO2-Al2O3 ...

This paper reports results of a study regarding the activities of nano structure Mn/γ-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3 catalysts for oxidation of 2-propanol (as a model of volatile organic compound). Nanostructure of catalysts was revealed using XRD, SEM and TEM techniques. Catalytic studies were carried out in U-shaped packed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure and at the reaction temperature of 150- 500°...

Alumina nanopowders produced by electrical explosion of wires were sintered using the spark plasma sintering technique. The results of XRD analysis show that the main phase in the compacted nanopowders is α-Al2O3. According to the SEM observations, the sintered alumina nanopowder consists of micron-sized faceted grains and nano-sized necked grains. The increase in sintering temperature resulted...

Synthesis of organic compounds using nano-catalysts is more and more attention due to the numerous advantages such as cost-effectiveness, high catalytic activity, ease of product separation, recovery of the catalyst, repeated recycling potential and good stability. In this work, TiCl2/nano-γ-Al2O3, as a novel type of green heterogeneous solid acid was prepared by the immobilization of TiCl2 on ...

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been functionalized with -SO3H groups using new three steps chemical routes. Firstly, OH groups have been attached to CNT surfaces through a radical reaction. The second step involves converting the hydroxyl groups into the oxide one and last step included the attachment of –SO3H groups on the MWCNTs surfaces in the presence of 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazo...

Numerous problems occur during engine operation, such as start-up, lack of lubrication, and overheating, resulting in components’ wear, power loss, fuel consumption. Nanomaterials dispersed oil can play an important role improving the tribological properties lubricants. This study investigated influence multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3 NPs) nano-additiv...
