A facile thermal-treatment route was successfully used to synthesize ZnO nanosheets. Morphological, structural, and optical properties of obtained nanoparticles at different calcination temperatures were studied using various techniques. The FTIR, XRD, EDX, SEM and TEM images confirmed the formation of ZnO nanosheets through calcination in the temperature between 500 to 650 °C. The SEM images s...

The kinetics of calcination of a high calcium type of limestone was studied. Ukpilla limestone found in the central region of Nigeria was studied. The limestone composition shows that the limestone has 51.29% calcium oxide and 41.53% loss on ignition and magnesium oxide content of 2.23%. The following parameters were determined; diffusion coefficient of lime layer, and mass transfer coefficient...

Calcium oxide (CaO) as carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorbent at the elevated temperature has been very well-received thus far. The CaO can be synthesized from natural calcium carbonate (CaCO3) sources through the reversible calcination-carbonation process. In the study, cockle shell has been selected as CaO precursors. The objectives of the study are to investigate the performance of calcination and c...

in this work, hydrochloric acid is used to remove iron impurities in the bauxite ore contained in the diasporite mineral located in the sari region. the bauxite ore was calcined at different temperatures and times, and then dissolved in a hydrochloric acid solution. after determining the optimum calcination conditions in 1 h at 900 °c, the response surface methodology (rsm) with four factors in...

There is an increasing interest in the application of photocatalytic properties for disinfection of surfaces, air, and water. Titanium dioxide is widely used as a photocatalyst, and the addition of silver reportedly enhances its bactericidal action. However, the synergy of silver nanoparticles and TiO(2) is not well understood. The photocatalytic elimination of Bacillus atrophaeus was examined ...

PuO2/Calcination temperature/Inhalation/Lung retention/Translocation Wistar rats inhaled PuO2 particles prepared by the calcination of Pu hydroxide at 1150 and 400°C. Lung retention, fecal and urinary excretion, and translocation of Pu were compared between the two calcination temperatures. The clearance of Pu from the lungs was significantly faster in the rats exposed to PuO2 calcined at 400°C...

the paper introducedeffects of modified pyrolysis tar on flue gas desulfurization. this experiment selected the pyrolysis tar as the raw material, researched the effects on desulfurization performance under different modification solution, concentration, solid liquid ratio of pyrolysis tar and modified solution, calcination temperature and calcination time by 16 group orthogonal experiments. th...

nano-structured lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite, la0.6sr0.4co0.2fe0.8o3 (lscf), was successfully synthesized via co-precipitation method using metal nitrates as starting materials. effects of precipitating agent and calcination temperature on the phase composition and morphology of synthesized powders were systematically studied using x-ray diffraction (xrd) and field emission scanning elect...

A light-scattering sensor that incorporated zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles was developed and characterized in this study. Evenly distributed nanostructured ZnO materials were formed on the sensing elements through the calcination of zinc acetate-treated sensing elements in a high-temperature oven. There was a large change in the scattering properties of the nanostructured ZnO materials after ad...

The calcination reaction of limestone (CaCO3) to yield lime (CaO) is at the heart of many industrial applications as well as natural processes. In the recently emerged calcium-looping technology, CO2 capture is accomplished by the carbonation of CaO in a gas-solid reactor (carbonator). CaO is derived by the calcination of limestone in a calciner reactor under necessarily high CO2 partial pressu...
