Preparation of Amorphous LiZn Ferrites Hollow Microspheres by Self-reactive Quenching Technology

NaCl aqueous solution（15 wt%） was used as the quenching medium to prepare amorphous Lithium-Zinc ferrite hollow microspheres（LiZn FHMs） based on self-reactive quenching technology. Investigations by scanning electro microscope, X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction of transmission electron microscope, and differential scanning calorimetry prove that LiZn FHMs are susceptible to amorphization. It is indicated that NaCl aqueous solution（15 wt%） has ultra-fast quenching speed, and the growth rate of crystals on LiZn FHMs is so large that the formation and growth of the crystal nucleus are significantly restrained. This is the main reason for the formation of amorphous LiZn FHMs.

Preparation of micro-nano hollow multiphase ceramic microspheres containing MnFe_2O_4 absorbent by self-reactive quenching method

Fe–Fe2O3–MnO2–sucrose–epoxy resin and O2 as reaction system and feed gas,separately,were used to prepare micro-nano hollow multiphase ceramic microspheres containing MnFe2O4absorbent by self-reactive quenching method which is integrated with flame jet,selfpropagating high-temperature synthesis(SHS),and rapidly solidification.The morphologies and phase compositions of hollow microspheres were studied by scanning electron microscope(SEM),transmission electron microscope(TEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and energy dispersive spectroscopy.The results show that the quenching products are regular spherical substantially with hollow structure,particle size is between few hundreds nanometers and 5 lm.Phase compositions are diphase of Fe3O4,Mn3O4,and MnFe2O4,and the spinel soft magnetic ferrite MnFe2O4 with microwave magnetic properties is in majority.Collisions with each other,burst as well as‘‘refinement’’of agglomerate powders in flame field may be the main reasons for the formation of micro-nano hollow multiphase ceramic microspheres containing MnFeOabsorbent.

Effect of Atmosphere on Synthesizing Hollow Ceramic Microspheres by Self-reactive Flame Quenching Technology

In order to obtain high comprehensive performance hollow ceramic microspheres (HCMs), used Al-Cr2O3 as the main reaction system, HCMs were prepared by Self-reactive flame quenching technology in Ar2 and N2 atmosphere respectively. Effects of the two different atmospheres on synthesizing HCMs were studied. Results show that in Ar2 atmosphere, because of incomplete reaction of agglomerate powders, porous particles with hollow structure and smooth-faced HCMs constitute the products. However in N2 atmosphere, because agglomerate powders react completely, all of them become smooth-faced HCMs. Results above show that experiment atmosphere is a important parameter to synthesize HCMs and to a great extent influences reaction process of agglomerate powders in the flame field.

Preparation of hollow ceramic microspheres absorbent based on self-reactive quenching technology

A1 ＋ BaO2 ＋ Fe2O3 ＋ sucrose and O2 as reaction system and feeding gas, respectively, are used to prepare hollow multiphase ceramic microspheres （HMCMs） absorbent based on self-reactive quenching technology. The morphologies, particle size distribution, hollow structure and phase compositions were characterized by scanning electron microscope （SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD） and size analysis. The results show that the quenching products possess high sphere-forming rate, and most of them are hollow structures. Owing to the self-burst, the particle size is between 40 and 70 μm. The phase compositions contain Al2O3, Fe3O4, Fe2O3, Ba2Fe14O22, BaO2 and BaFe4O7. The microwave absorbing tests show that the lowest reflectivity of HMCMs is -19 dB. The frequency bands less than -10 dB are from 13.0 to 15.8 GHz. The reasons for HMCMs possessing good microwave absorbing properties may be their magnetic and electrical properties as well as special hollow structure.
