We aim in this research at synthesizing high-purity aluminium titanate with sludge from the aluminium profile factory by shock cooling method, and mainly discuss the effect of calcining reaction temperature and holding time on crystalline, microstructure and content of aluminum titanate materials to determine the preferred calcining temperature and holding time. XRD and SEM methods were utilized to characterize the crystalline and microstructure of each specimen, Rietveld Quantification software was used for the determination of different crystalline contents of specimens, and Philips plus software was applied to determine the cell parameters of aluminium titanate in different specimens. According to the experimental results, preferred calcining temperature is determined as 1400℃ and preferred holding time is 2 h, at which the grains of aluminum titanate grow completely and the purity of aluminum titanate is 97.2wt%.

Effects of Calcination Temperature on the Acidity and Catalytic Performances of HZSM-5 Zeolite Catalysts for the Catalytic Cracking of n-Butane

The acidic modulations of a series of HZSM-5 catalysts were successfully made by calcination at different treatment temperatures, i.e. 500, 600, 650, 700 and 800 ℃, respectively. The results indicated that the total acid amounts, their density and the amount of B-type acid of HZSM-5 catalysts rapidly decreased, while the amounts of L-type acid had almost no change and thus the ratio of L/B was obviously enhanced with the increase of calcination temperature （excluding 800 ℃）. The catalytic performances of modified HZSM-5 catalysts for the cracking of n-butane were also investigated. The main properties of these catalysts were characterized by means of XRD, N2 adsorption at low temperature, NH3-TPD, FTIR of pyridine adsorption and BET surface area measurements. The results showed that HZSM-5 zeolite pretreated at 800 ℃ had very low catalytic activity for n-butane cracking. In the calcination temperature range of 500-700 ℃, the total selectivity to olefins, propylene and butene were increased with the increase of calcination temperature, while, the selectivity for arene decreased with the calcination temperature. The HZSM-5 zeolite calcined at 700 ℃ produced light olefins with high yield, at the reaction temperature of 650 ℃ the yields of total olefins and ethylene were 52.8% and 29.4%, respectively. Besides, the more important role is that high calcination temperature treatment improved the duration stability of HZSM-5 zeolites. The effect of calcination temperature on the physico-chemical properties and catalytic performance of HZSM-5 for cracking of n-butane was explored. It was found that the calcination temperature had large effects on the surface area, crystallinity and acid properties of HZSM-5 catalyst, which further affected the catalytic performance for n-butane cracking.

Deoxygenation of methyl laurate to hydrocarbons on silica-supported Ni-Mo phosphides: Effect of calcination temperatures of precursor

SiO2-supported Ni-Mo bimetallic phosphides were prepared by temperature-programmed reduction （TPR） method from the phosphate precur- sors calcined at different temperatures. Their properties were characterized by means of ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy （UV-Vis DRS）, H2 temperature-programmed reduction （H2-TPR）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, CO chemisorption, H2 and NH3 temperature-programmed desorptions （H2-TPD and NH3-TPD）. Their catalytic performances for the deoxygena- tion of methyl laurate were tested in a fixed-bed reactor. When the precursors were calcined at 400 and 500 ℃, respectively, NiMoP2 phase could be formed apart from Ni2P and MoP phases in the prepared C400 and C500 catalysts. However, when the precursors were calcined at 600, 700 and 800 ℃, respectively, only Ni2P and MoP phases could be detected in the prepared C600, C700 and C800 catalysts. Also, in C400, C500 and C600 catalysts, Mo atoms were found to be entered in the lattice of Ni2P phase, but the entering extent became less with the increase of calcination temperature. As the calcination temperature of the precursor increased, the interaction between Ni and Mo in the prepared catalysts decreased, and the phosphide crystallite size tended to increase, subsequently leading to the decrease in the surface metal site density and the acid amount. C600 catalyst showed the highest activity among the tested ones for the deoxygenation of methyl laurate. As the calcination temperature of the precursor increased, the selectivity to C12 hydrocarbons decreased while the selectivity to C11 hydrocarbons tended to increase. This can be mainly attributed to the decreased Ni-Mo interaction and the increased phosphide particle size. In sum, the structure and performance of Ni-Mo bimetallic phosphide catalyst can be tuned by the calcination temperature of precursor.

Antibacterial Properties of V-doped Titanium-bearing Blast Furnace Slag Prepared at Different Calcination Temperatures

Perovskite-type V-doped titanium-bearing blast furnace slag (VTBBFS) photocatalyst was prepared by high-temperature solid phase method.The influence of calcination temperature on the photocatalytic and antibacterial properties of VTBBFS was studied in details.Its composition and microstructure were evaluated by X-ray diffractometer,ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrometer,Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and scanning electron microscope.The antibacterial properties of VTBBFS to Candida albicans were investigated by flask oscillation method.The results showed that the optical absorption and antibacterial properties of VTBBFS were the best with 10%(ω) doping of vanadium,prepared at 800℃ for 2 h,and its sterilization rate was close to 100% to Candida albicans (ATCC10231).The minimum inhibitory and minimum bactericidal concentrations were 25 and 50 mg/mL.When the concentration was 0.2 μg/mL,the catalyst had the least toxic toxicity.

Effects of Calcination Temperature of Boron-Containing Magnesium Oxide Raw Materials on Properties of Magnesium Phosphate Cement as a Biomaterial

A new magnesium phosphate bone cement （MPBC） was prepared as a byproduct of boroncontaining magnesium oxide （B-MgO） after extracting Li2CO3 from salt lakes. We analyzed the elementary composition of the B-MgO raw materials and the effects of calcination temperature on the performance of MPBC. The phase composition and microstructure of the B-MgO raw materials and the hydration products （KMgPO4.6H2O） of MPBC were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that ionic impurities and the levels of toxic elements were sufficiently low in B-MgO raw materials to meet the medical requirements for MgO （Chinese Pharmacopeia, 2O10 Edition） and for hydroxyapatite surgical implants （GB23101.1-2O08）. The temperature of B-MgO calcination had a marked influence on the hydration and hardening of MPBC pastes. Increasing calcination temperature prolonged the time required for the MPBC slurry to set, significantly decreased the hydration temperature, and prolonged the time required to reach the highest hydration temperature. However, the compressive strength of hardened MPBC did not increase with higher calcination temperatures. In the 900-1 000 ~C temperature range, the hardened MPBC had a higher compressive strength. Imaging analysis suggested that the setting time and the highest hydration temperature of MPBC pastes were dependent on the size and crystal morphology of the B-MgO materials. The production and microstructure compactness of KMgPOa＇6H2O, the main hydration product, determined the compressive strength.

Investigation of the redox performance of pyrite cinder calcined at different temperature in chemical looping combustion

As an industrial solid waste,pyrite cinder exhibited excellent reactivity and cycle stability in chemical looping combustion.Prior to the experiment,oxygen carriers often experienced a high temperature calcination process to stabilize the physico-chemical properties,which presented significant influence on the redox performance of oxygen carriers.However,the effect of calcination temperature on the cyclic reaction performance of pyrite cinder has not been studied in detail.In this work,the effect of calcination temperature on the redox activity and attrition characteristic of pyrite cinder were studied in a fluidizedbed reactor using CH_(4) as fuel.A series of pyrite cinder samples were prepared by controlling the calcination temperature.The redox activity and attrition rate of the obtained pyrite cinder samples were investigated deeply.The results showed that calcination temperature displayed significant impact on the redox performance of pyrite cinder.Considering CH_(4) conversion(80%–85%)and attrition resistance,the pyrite cinder calcined at 1050℃ presented excellent redox properties.In the whole experiment process,the CO_(2) selectivity of the pyrite cinder samples were not affected by the calcination temperature and were still close to 100%.The results can provide reference for optimizing the calcination temperature of pyrite cinder during chemical looping process.

Effect of the support calcination temperature on selective hydrodesulfurization of TiO_2 nanotubes supported CoMo catalysts

TiOz nanotubes （TiO2-NTs） were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Co and Mo active components were supported on a series of the as-prepared TiO2-NTs samples which were calcined at different temperatures. The effects of support calcination temperature of CoMo/TiOz- NTs catalysts on their catalytic performance were investigated for selective hydrodesulfurization （HDS）. The samples were characterized by means of the scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, the transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Raman spectroscopy and H2 temperature-programmed reduction （Hz-TPR）. The experimental results revealed that TiOz-NTs support calcined under 500℃ can maintain the nanotubular structure with higher surface area and pore volume. Meanwhile, the obtained supported CoMo/TiO2-NTs catalysts exhibited weak metal-support interaction, more octahedral Mo6＋ species and high catalytic performance in selective HDS.

Effect of calcination temperature on the pozzolanic activity of maize straw stem ash treated with portlandite solution

The effect of calcination temperature on the pozzolanic activity of maize straw stem ash(MSSA)was evaluated.The MSSA samples calcined at temperature values of 500,700,and 850℃ were dissolved in portlandite solution for 6 h,thereby obtaining residual samples.The MSSA and MSSA residual samples were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,X-ray powder diffraction scanning electron microscopy,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to determine vibration bonds,minerals,microstructures,and Si 2p transformation behavior.The conductivity,pH value,and loss of conductivity with dissolving time of the MSSA-portlandite mixed solution were also determined.The main oxide composition of MSSA was silica and potassium oxide.The dissolution of the Si^(4+) content of MSSA at 500℃ was higher than those of the other calcination temperatures.The conductivity and loss of conductivity of MSSA at 700℃ were higher than those of the other calcination temperatures at a particular dissolving time due to the higher KCl content in MSSA at 700℃.C-S-H was easily identified in MSSA samples using X-ray powder diffraction,and small cubic and nearly spherical particles of C-S-H were found in the MSSA residual samples.In conclusion,the optimum calcination temperature of MSSA having the best pozzolanic activity is 500℃,but excessive agglomeration must be prevented.

Effect of High Temperature Calcination on Structure and Properties of Bauxite-based Homogeneous Clinkers

In this paper,the effect of high temperature calcination on the structure and properties of bauxite-based homogeneous clinkers calcined at different temperatures for different durations was studied.The results show that with the rising of calcination temperature and the prolonging of holding time,the volume density of bauxite-based homogeneous clinkers increases and the apparent porosity decreases.After high temperature calcination,the linear expansion of bauxitebased homogeneous clinker is smaller than that of the non-calcined ones.Whether calcined at high temperatures or not,the thermal shock resistance of bauxite-based homogeneous clinkers is good.The crystalline phases of bauxite-based homogeneous clinkers are mainly mullite and corundum.There is more glass phase in the bauxite-based homogeneous clinkers without calcination.After calcination at high temperatures the glass phase content decreases significantly,and the mullite crystals develop better forming the cross-network structure.

Preparation and Performance of Ternesite-Ye’Elimite Clinker Produced from Steel Slag at Lower Temperature

Ternesite(4CaO·2SiO_(2)·CaSO_(4))-Ye’elimite(3CaO·3Al_(2)O_(3)·CaSO_(4))(simplified as TY)cement clinker was successfully prepared from steel slag at 1200℃in this study.XRD,TG/DSC and SEM were used to analyze the mineral composition and hydration products of the TY clinker.The sintering process and hydration mechanism of the TY clinker were investigated.Results show that a large amount of ternesite and ye’elimite have been formed at 1200℃,while ternesite has not been decomposed.Clinker minerals include ternesite,ye’elimite,gypsum and a small amount of iron phase.Iron phase from steel slag can promote the formation of liquid phase with the presence of gypsum at 1200℃and thus lead to the coexistence of ternesite and ye’elimite.The compressive strength of TY cement cured at 28 d is 59.5 MPa,which is higher than that of P.II 42.5 cement.This research provides a sustainable and energy-effective way for the reutilization of steel slag,an otherwise valueless waste.

LED照射光催化剂用于苯、甲苯、乙苯和二甲苯分解(英文)

Studies on the use of gas phase applications of light emitting diodes(LEDs) in photocatalysis are scarce although their photocatalytic decomposition kinetics of environmental pollutants are likely different from those in aqueous solutions.The present study evaluated the use of chips of visible light LEDs to irradiate nitrogen doped titania(N-TiO2) prepared by hydrolysis to decompose gaseous benzene,toluene,ethyl benzene,m-xylene,p-xylene,and o-xylene.Photocatalysts calcined at different temperatures were characterized by various analytical instruments.The degradation efficiency of benzene was close to zero for all conditions.For the other compounds,a conventional 8 W daylight lamp/N-TiO2 unit gave a higher photocatalytic degradation efficiency as compared with that of visible-LED/N-TiO2 units.However,the ratios of degradation efficiency to electric power consumption were higher for the photocatalytic units that used two types of visible-LED lamps(blue and white LEDs).The highest degradation efficiency was observed with the use of a calcination temperature of 350 oC.The average degradation efficiencies for toluene,ethyl benzene,m-xylene,p-xylene,and o-xylene were 35%,68%,94%,and 93%,respectively.The use of blue-and white-LEDs,high light intensity,and low initial concentrations gave high photocatalytic activities for the photocatalytic units using visible-LEDs.The morphological and optical properties of the photocatalysts were correlated to explain the dependence of photocatalytic activity on calcination temperature.The results suggest that visible-LEDs are energy efficient light source for photocatalytic gas phase applications,but the activity depends on the operational conditions.

Preparation and Application of Light-weight Raw Materials Using Natural Forsterite

In order to develop new basic light-weight refractory raw materials,natural forsterite(<0.045 mm)and magnesite(<0.045 mm)were batched according to the chemical composition of forsterite(2MgO·SiO_(2)),wet milled,semi-dry molded and calcined at different temperatures.Then cylinder samples with diameter of 36 mm were prepared.The effects of the wet milling jar rotation speed,the calcination temperature and the anthracite addition on the properties of the samples were researched.The results show that:when the calcination temperature exceeds 1300℃,all the mineral phases have converted to the desired phases;with the increase of the rotation speed and the calcination temperature,the bulk density of the samples increases,the apparent porosity decreases and the compressive strength improves.By comprehensive consideration,400 r·min^(-1) and 1450℃ are taken as the optimal scheme.High addition of anthracite makes the samples light,so series of light-weight raw materials with uniformly distributed micro-pores can be gained.The light-weight raw materials achieved were used for insulation refractory castables,obtaining good application.

New insight on correlation between the electrochemical stability and the thermal stability of high nickel cathode materials

Cycle stability and thermal safety are critical to the commercialization of nickel-rich layered materials,yet whether there is a potential correlation between these two factors is still controversial. Herein, the relationship between the cycle stability and thermal stability of nickel-rich cathode materials have been systematically studied through five different calcination temperatures of Li[NiCoMn]O(NCM83) cathode materials. The research results confirm that the cycle stability and thermal safety of nickel-rich cathode materials do not necessarily show a positive correlation. Actually, with the calcination temperature elevated, the thermal stability of the NCM83 is enhanced, while the cycle stability is degraded. This opposite correlation is not commonly reported in previous literatures. In this work, systematical characterizations demonstrate that under the experimental conditions, the capacity retention of NCM83 is mainly determined by the Li/Ni cation disorder and H2-H3 irreversible phase transition,which is optimal at lower calcination temperature. Meanwhile, the thermal stability is mainly impacted by thermal expansion characteristics and interfacial stability of cathode material, and it is dramatically improved by the mechanical strength of the secondary particles reinforced at high calcinated temperature. This study provides some new insights on understanding and designing of the high-energy cathode materials with long cycle-life and superior safety.

Preparation of Y_2O_3 Nanopowders by Sol-Gel Method

Using the inexpensive inorganic salts as the starting materials,pure yttria nanopowders were prepared by sol-gel method. The primary particles are spherical and about 60 nm in diameter with a narrow size distribution. Moderate sulfate ions used as additive were the key to the formation of precursor and the preparation of spherical Y_2O_3 nanopowders. Transformation of the precursor was investigated during the calcining. The influence of calcination temperature on size and purity of production was analyzed. The results show that higher temperature is beneficial to the preparation of pure and complete crystallization of yttria powders under the condition of not making particles excessively grow.

Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes using Cu-Cr-O as Catalyst by Chemical Vapor Deposition

A novel powder catalyst Cu-Cr-O applied to the synthesis of carbon nanotubes （CNTs） was developed, which was prepared via ammonia precipitation method. Techniques of thermo-gravimetric/ differential scanning calorimeter （TG-DSC）, X-ray diffraction （XRD） as well as scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM） have been employed to characterize the thermal decomposition procedure, crystal phase and micro structural morphologies of the as-synthesized materials, respectively. The results show that carbon nanotubes are successfully synthesized using Cu-Cr-O as catalyst when the precursors are calcined at 400, 500, 600, and 700 ℃. The results indicate that the calcination of the Cu-Cr-O catalyst at 600 ℃ is an effective method to get MWCNT with few nano-tube defects or amorphous carbons.

Catalytic activity and crystal structure modification of Pd/γ-Al_2O_3–TiO_2 catalysts with different Al_2O_3 contents

Pd/γ-Al2O3–TiO2catalysts containing various compositions of titania and alumina were prepared by sol–gel and wet-impregnation methods in attempt to study the particle size, nature of phases, morphology and structure of the composite samples. The ethanol oxidation experiments, N2adsorption–desorption,FTIR, XRD and XPS were conducted, and the effects of Al2O3content on the surface area, phase transformation and structural properties of TiO2were investigated. The optimal value of ethanol conversion appeared on Pd/Al(0.05)–Ti and Pd/Al(0.90)–Ti catalysts irrespective of the ethanol oxidation temperature, and we call this as a double peaks phenomenon of catalytic activity. The XRD results reveal that the phase composition and crystallite size of the mixed oxides depend on Al2O3/TiO2ratio and calcination temperature. Al2O3can effectively prevent the agglomeration of TiO2and this can be ascribed to the formation of Al–O–Ti chemical bonds in Al2O3–TiO2crystals. Binding energy and Pd surface concentration of the catalysts were modified apparently, which may also lead to catalyst activity changes.

Extender Properties of Some Nigerian Clays

The extender properties of some Nigeria clays have been studied. The local clays were characterized using X-ray fluorescence and scanning electron microscope. The physico-chemical properties of the clays were evaluated using ASTM standards. The physico-chemical characterization of the local clays gave the following results: specific gravity (2.54 and 2.49), oil absorption (51.0 and 59.0 g/100g), refractive index (1.7 and 2.0) and pH (5.1 and 4.8) for Nsu and Ihitte-Uboma clays respectively. Compositional analysis showed that the clays consisted predominantly of silica (SiO2) and aluminium oxide (Al2O3) in high proportions with the other constituents present in very small proportions. The clays were stable to heat and insoluble in toluene, methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, chloroform and hydrochloric acidexcept for their slight solubility in acetic acid. The colour of the clays was not affected in cold or when heated except for slight colour change observed in the presence of hydrochloric acid when heated. The particle morphology of the clays indicated the presence of sub-angular platelet of varying sizes. The optimum calcination temperature of the clays was determined to be 850°C for use in oil-based paints. The clays can be used in gloss paints, rubber and plastic composites and as an adsorbent with improved properties.
