Fe-Co-Ce composite catalysts were prepared by coprecipitation method using CO(NH2)2, NaOH, NH4HCO3, and NH3·H2O as precipitant agents. The effects of the precipitant agents on the physicochemical properties of the Fe-Co-Ce based catalysts were investigated by SEM, TEM, BET, TG-DTA, and XRD. It was found that the precipitant agents remarkably influenced the morphology and particle size of the catalysts and affected the COD removal efficiency, decolorization rate, and pH of methyl orange for catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO). The specific surface area of the Fe-Co-Ce composite catalysts successively decreased in the order of NH3·H2O, NH4HCO3, NaOH, and CO(NH2)2, which correlated to an increasing particle size that increased for each catalyst. For the CWAO of a methyl orange aqueous solutions, the effects of precipitant agents NH3·H2O and NaOH were superior to those of CO(NH2)2and NH4HCO3. The catalyst prepared using NH3·H2O as the precipitant agent was mostly composed of Fe2O3, CoO, and CeO2. The COD removal efficiency of methyl orange aqueous solution for NH3·H2O reached 92.9% in the catalytic wet air oxidation. Such a catalytic property was maintained for six runs.

Particle size plays an important role in the electrochemical performance of cathodes for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. High energy planetary ball milling of LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 (NMC) cathode materials was investigated as a route to reduce the particle size and improve the electrochemical performance. The effect of ball milling times, milling speeds, and composition on the structure and properties of NMC cathodes was determined. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that ball milling decreased primary particle (crystallite) size by up to 29%, and the crystallite size was correlated with the milling time and milling speed. Using relatively mild milling conditions that provided an intermediate crystallite size, cathodes with higher capacities, improved rate capabilities, and improved capacity retention were obtained within 14 μm-thick electrode configurations. High milling speeds and long milling times not only resulted in smaller crystallite sizes but also lowered electrochemical performance. Beyond reduction in crystallite size, ball milling was found to increase the interfacial charge transfer resistance, lower the electrical conductivity, and produce aggregates that influenced performance. Computations support that electrolyte diffusivity within the cathode and film thickness play a significant role in the electrode performance. This study shows that cathodes with improved performance are obtained through use of mild ball milling conditions and appropriately designed electrodes that optimize the multiple transport phenomena involved in electrochemical charge storage materials.

The paper presents mechanical properties of materials used as matrices in diamond impregnated tools. Several powder metallurgy materials were manufactured by the hot press process from various combinations of cobalt (Co SMS, Co Extrafine, Co 400mesh), carbonyl iron (Fe CN) and tungsten (WP30) powders. After consolidation the specimens were tested for density, hardness and tensile properties. The fracture surfaces and materials’ microstructure were observed using the Jeol JSM- 5400 scanning electron microscope and the Leica DM4000 light microscope. The main objective of the work was to determine the effects of the mean particle size of cobalt as well as additions of iron and tungsten on properties of the as-consolidated material.

The paper investigates the structure and properties of samples made of ASP-25 AlSi10Mg, a Russian powder designed to replace expensive additive manufacturing powders of European origin featuring the same chemical composition. We detected that the particle size in the ASP-25 AlSi10Mg powder varies in the range of 7 to 50 μm, the average particle size being 23 μm for the standard deviation of 9.15 and dispersion of 83.7. On the surface of powder particles, we observed smaller satellite particles, individual aggregates, and particles of pure aluminium. We detected the following at the transition boundary between adjacent tracks: a columnar crystal zone and a heat-affected zone consisting of three layers of large, medium and small grains generated as a result of varied cooling conditions. These grains display different silicon lattice thicknesses along their boundaries. We detected no critical size pores (over 15 μm) or burning in the heat-affected zone. The fact that microhardness increases towards the sample edges and is non-monotonic over the transverse section is due to a range of factors acting simultaneously to create non-uniform temperature and force fields that cause differences in conditions of structure formation. Fractography studies of fractures in the AlSi10Mg alloy showed that the nature of failure varies along the sample depth. The central part of the sample, which is subjected to the highest thermal effects, shows clear signs of viscous failure along the main cracks developing along the boundaries of construction layers. We showed that the AlSi10Mg alloy is more resistant to pitting corrosion and general corrosion than the AK9сh (AK9ч) alloy

The heat treatment temperature on the influence of the material structure and properties is discussed. At 710 °C the synthesis of LiFePO4 crystallization is complete, morphology, and particle size is moderate, which has the best electrochemical performance. Sphere of lithium iron phosphate is synthesized by ethylene glycol solvent under low temperature heat synthesis method, which can give a relatively high tap density of 1.6g•cm-3

The effects of particle morphology on the structure and swelling/dissolution and rheological properties of nascent ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in liquid paraffin (LP) were elaborately explored in this article. Nascent UHMWPE with different particle morphologies was prepared via pre-polymerization technique and direct polymerization. The melting temperature and crystallinity of UHMWPE resins with different particle morphologies were compared, and a schematic diagram was proposed to illustrate the mechanism of UHMWPE particle growth synthesized by pre-polymerization method and direct polymerization. The polymer globules in the nascent UHMWPE prepared by using pre-polymerization technique are densely packed and a positive correlation between the particle size and the viscosity-averaged molecular weight can be observed. The split phenomenon of particles and the fluctuation in the viscosity of UHMWPE/LP system prepared by direct polymerization can be observed at a low heating rate and there is no correlation between particle size and viscosity-averaged molecular weight.

The results of experimental studies of the structure and properties of electroerosive materials from lead bronze waste BrS30 obtained in oxygen- and carbon-containing media are presented. The influence of the chemical composition of liquids and technological parameters of dispersion on the properties of the resulting electroerosive materials is shown. In particular, a part of oxygen is present on the surface of particles obtained in distilled water, and part of carbon is present in lighting kerosene. The average particle size obtained in lighting kerosene is 1.2 times higher than the average particle size obtained in distilled water. The particles of the BrS30 alloy dispersed by electroerosion have a regular spherical, elliptical shape and agglomerates.

In this paper, super fine LiMn2O4 powder was synthesized by mechanochemical method starting from Li2CO3 and Mn2O3. The structure, size and morphology of LiMn2O4 were explored with X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical properties of LiMn2O4 were studied in 2 mol/L (NH4)2SO4 solution. The result showed that pure spinel LiMn204 powder was prepared after 8h grinding with 3.0KW of power and the particle size was about 1µm. Cyclic vohammetry curve indicate LiMn2O4 electrode material has better capacitive performances.
