The effects of doping NiO and Co3O4 solids with cobalt and nickel species on their surface and catalytic properties were investigated. The amounts of dopant, in the form of the corresponding nitrate, were varied between 0.5–6.0 mol% cobalt ions and 2.0–6.0 mol% nickel ions. Pure and variously doped solids were subjected to thermal treatment at 300–700°C. The techniques employed were XRD, nitrogen adsorption at −196°C, decomposition of H2O2 at 30–50°C and estimation of the amount of surface excess oxygen on the variously prepared solids as determined by the hydrazine method. The results obtained revealed that the pure and variously doped NiO samples precalcined at 300°C consisted of a finely divided NiO phase having an average particle size of ca. 40 Å. Pure and variously doped Co3O4 specimens preheated at 500°C and 700°C were composed of a Co3O4 phase with a much bigger particle size (230 Å and 350 Å, respectively, for the solids precalcined at 500°C and 700°C). Doping of NiO followed by thermal treatment at 300°C and 500°C resulted in a measurable decrease in its BET surface area (19–23%), while doping of Co3O4 with nickel species followed by heating at 500°C and 700°C brought about a significant increase in its specific surface area (56–60%). Doping each of the NiO and Co3O4 solids with cobalt and nickel species greatly increased the amount of surface excess oxygen and effected a considerable increase in their catalytic activities. This increase was, however, much more pronounced in the case of NiO which attained a value of ca. 100-fold. Doping of NiO with cobalt species followed by thermal treatment at 300°C and 500°C decreased the activation energy (DE) of the catalyzed reaction to an extent proportional to the amount of dopant added. On the other hand, doping of Co3O4 with nickel species followed by thermal treatment at 500°C and 700°C did not change the value of DE. These results suggest that doping of Co3O4 with nickel species did not modify the mechanism of the catalyzed reaction but increased the concentration of catalytically active sites without changing their energetic nature.

Zinc Powders

The aim of this paper is to establish a regulatory change of zinc powders key physicochemical properties with varying electroextraction conditions. It was studied influence zinc concentration, alkali concentration and current density. Quantitative dependencies of zinc powders particle size and specific surface area from mentioned electroextraction parameters are shown. At increasing of zinc concentration, decreasing of NaOH concentration and decreasing of current density of powders particle size growth, correspondingly specific surface area is declined. It is indicated, that electrolytic zinc powders bulk density varies from 0.61 g/cm3 to 0.75 g/cm3 with a decrease of average particle size from 121 μm to 68 μm. In comparison, spherical powders bulk density used in various industries is currently 2.45-2.6 g/cm3. In all experiments, metal zinc content varied in the range of 91.1-92.5%, the rest - ZnO. To a greater extent, this indicator depends on powder washing quality from alkali and storage conditions.

Nickel powder was dry-milled using a high-energy disc-oscillating mill. The average particle size increases and the specific surface area diminishes with milling time. Crystallite size decreases and microstrains increase, under the same conditions, as shown by X-ray analysis. At 120 min milling time, the crystallite size has a value of 17 nm, i.e., a nanostructured powder, with a perturbed lattice, is obtained. The above results have been compared with published data about the effects of milling on a ceramic powder. There is, in both cases, a general agreement concerning the changes produced in crystallite size. Nevertheless, opposite results are reached regarding particle size and specific surface area.

Mn-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles were prepared by using the microwave solvothermal synthesis (MSS) technique. The nanoparticles were produced from a solution of zinc acetate dihydrate and manganese(II) acetate tetrahydrate using ethylene glycol as solvent. The content of Mn2+ in Zn1− x Mn x O ranged from 1 to 25 mol %. The following properties of the nanostructures were investigated: skeleton density, specific surface area (SSA), phase purity (XRD), lattice parameters, dopant content, average particle size, crystallite size distribution, morphology. The average particle size of Zn1− x Mn x O was determined using Scherrer’s formula, the Nanopowder XRD Processor Demo web application and by converting the specific surface area results. X-ray diffraction of synthesized samples shows a single-phase wurtzite crystal structure of ZnO without any indication of additional phases. Spherical Zn1− x Mn x O particles were obtained with monocrystalline structure and average particle sizes from 17 to 30 nm depending on the content of dopant. SEM images showed an impact of the dopant concentration on the morphology of the nanoparticles.

In this work, the ZnO-TiO2 mixed phase nanoparticles were prepared by solid state reaction method by using ZnO and TiO2 powder as precursors. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows a dominant phase of Zinc Orthotitanate (Zn2TiO4). The average particle size (58?18 nm) calculated by the analysing FESEM data closely matches with the particle size calculated by Scherrer?s equation. The calculated average particle size is significantly smaller than the previously published results of nanoparticles, prepared by same method. In the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) study the specific surface area of the nanoparticles was found as 8.78 m2/g which is similar to the surface area reported in this material prepared by mechanochemical method. The method which we report is simpler and cost effective unlike the previous reported.

This paper reports the attempt to develop an efficient heterostructure photocatalyst by employing SrZrO3 as ferroelectric substrate with deposited nanostructured CdS semiconductor on the surface. Primarily bare SrZrO3 and CdS nanoparticles were synthesized by using polymeric citrate precursor and co-precipitation routes, respectively. The chemical deposition technique was used to develop the CdS over the surface of the pre-synthesized SrZrO3 nanoparticles. The synthesized bare nanoparticles and their heterostructure were characterized by XRD which shows the formation of orthorhombic and face centred cubic (FCC) phases of SrZrO3 and CdS, respectively. TEM was used to estimate the morphology and particle size of as-synthesized nanoparticles, which shows the average particle size of 14, 24 and 25 nm for SrZrO3, CdS and SrZrO3/CdS, respectively. The BET surface area of SrZrO3, CdS and SrZrO3/CdS samples was found to be 299, 304 and 312 m2/g respectively. Methylene blue was used as model pollutant to determine the photocatalytic activity of the synthesized nanomaterials. The heterostructure shows an enhanced activity as compared to bare nanoparticles. Dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the nanoparticles was investigated as a function of frequency at room temperature and as a function of temperature at 500 kHz. The room temperature dielectric constant for SrZrO3, CdS and SrZrO3/CdS was found to be 13.2, 17.8 and 25.5 respectively at 100 kHz.

Surface Basicity

Heterogeneous nanocatalyst of biohydroxyapatite-lithium (HA-Li) has been prepared through modification of HA extracted from bovine bone waste with Li at various calcination temperatures (400-700oC). Characterizations of the heterogeneous catalysts were including surface acidity-basicity, functional groups, BET surface area, particle size, and surface morphology. Optimization of catalyst ratios (1-7%) with the best characterization was applied for converting Malapari seed oil (Milletia pinnata L.) to biodiesel. The characterization results showed that HA-Li catalyst calcinated at 600oChad the highest surface basicity and Lewis acid sites revealing specific functional group of O-Li at wavenumber of 1612.49 cm-1. BET surface area of HA-Li catalyst decreased with increased average particle size. SEM analysis suggested that morfology of catalysts formed stack of agglomerates. The highest yield of biodiesel obtained on a catalyst ratio of 5% was 88.16%. GC-MS analysis showed 10 peaks, and 5 of the peaks exhibiting the highest percentage area were identified as methyl oleic, methyl palmitic, methyl erusic, methyl stearic, and methyl linoleic.

Powder Sintering

Compacting after pressing and sintering of briquettes made from an aluminum powder with an average particle size from 50 to 150 microns, the specific surface area Ssp=0.26 m2/g and a nickel powder with an average particle size from 25 to 100 microns, the specific surface area Ssp= 0.03 m2/g has been investigated. Pressing load varied from 15 to 25 MPa for the aluminum powder and from 20 to 45 MPa for the nickel powder. Sintering of aluminum powder briquettes was carried out at temperatures (0.5-0.83) of melting temperature, (0.3-0.46) of melting temperature from the nickel powder. It is shown that the application of high pressure, low temperatures and short time makes it possible to receive pseudo-ligatures from an aluminum powder with porosity about 32% and a nickel powder with porosity about 30%.

The effect of partial replacement of carbon black by Palmyra palm fiber on the cure characteristics, physico-mechanical and swelling properties of natural rubber vulcanizates was studied. The Palmyra palm fibers were extracted, treated and characterized so as to determine pH, moisture content, and ash content, loss on ignition, conductivity, cellulose, lignin, Hemicellulose, cellulose/lignin ratio and Acid soluble lignin. The functional groups in the Palmyra palm fiber was also determined using FTIR. The Palmyra palm powder with an average particle size of 75 μm was used in this study. The natural rubber/carbon black/Palmyra palm fiber (NR/CB/PPF) composites having eight different loadings, 0/70, 10/60, 20/50, 30/40, 40/30, 50/20, 60/10, 70/0, were prepared using a laboratory size two roll mill. The maximum Torque of NR/CB/PPF composites increased with increasing commercial filler loading ratio. The scorch time and cure time of NR/CB/PPF composites decreased as the ratio of CB loading increased. The tensile strength, modulus of elongation, tear strength and abrasion resistance of all the composites increased as the commercial filler loading ratio increased. This is due to the presence of the commercial filler which gave a better filler interaction. Also this behavior can be attributed to the particle size and surface area of the fillers used as the fillers with small particle size usually have a larger surface area which supports better filler-rubber interaction. The hardness increased as the palmyra palm fiber loading increased. The elongation at break decreases as carbon black filler loading increases except for the composite with CB/PPF ratio of 10/60. The effect of filler loading on the swelling behavior of NR/CB/PPF composites was also investigated in aromatic and aliphatic compounds. Result showed that the composites with more carbon black has less absorption than those with more palmyra palm fiber showing that the compounds with more carbon black has better interaction than those with palmyra palm fiber.
