The purpose of the present study was to synthesize and characterize nanosilica from alkali-extraction of silica fume under controlled conditions using poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a dispersing agent. The dissolution efficiency of silica fume was affected by various factors such as concentration of the reagent, reaction time and temperature. A maximum dissolution efficiency of 91% was achieved ...

Solid state M-L compounds, where M stands for bivalent Mn, Ni, Cu and L is 4-methoxybenzoate, have been synthesized. Simultaneous thermogravimetry – differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray powder diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and complexometry were used to characterize and to study the thermal behaviour of these compounds. The results led to information about t...

Solid-state M-4-MeO-Bz compounds, where M stands for trivalent La, Ce, Pr, Nd and Sm and 4-MeO-Bz is 4-methoxybenzoate, have been synthesized. Simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy and complexometry were used to characterize and to study the thermal behaviour of these ...

Abstract— Porous Hydroxyapatite (HAP, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 possessing bioactivity, biocompatibility, solubility and adsorption is highly useful as a biomaterial in various applications . Pure HAP nanoparticles were synthesized at moderate temperatures by wet chemical synthesis and subjecting it to combustion method with a organic fuel ( ascorbic acid). The X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and Fourier tran...

beta-cyclodextrin can react with nitrobenzene to form an inclusion complex which is characterized by (1)H NMR and powder X-ray diffractometry. The ratio of beta-CD to NB in inclusion complex is determined as 1:1. At 25 degrees C, the dissociated constant, K(D), of the inclusion complex is measured as 6.5 x 10(-3) M in neutral solution (pH=7.0), but in alkali (pH=13.5), K(D) is 3.2 x 10(-2) M wh...

AB -type intermetallic compounds were prepared by the melt spinning method. Structure analysis was carried out by X-ray 5 diffractometry, SEM and high resolution electron microscopy. The hydrogen storage capacity was determined by isothermic mass controlled absorption of hydrogen and by electrochemical charge /discharge cycles. A variation of the preparation parameters showed that a nanocrystal...

A Cu(II) complex of the amino acid L-selenomethionine of stoichiometry Cu(L-SeMet)2, has been prepared and characterized. Crystallographic data were obtained by means of X-ray powder diffractometry and showed that the compound is isostructural with the related complex of L-methionine, Cu(L-Met)2. The structural analogy is also supported by the analysis of the IR and Raman spectra of the complex...
