Spinel-based ceramic color pigments were successfully synthesized from utilization of aluminum dross waste and relevant oxide precursors by solid-state processing. Cobalt ions were selected as a chromophore to produce blue pigments. The conventional oxide route was also carried out for comparison purposes. The spinel phase readily formed when fired at 1100 °C; longer duration yielded a higher degree of purity. No preferential orientation of XRD reflection was observed, indicating random crystallographic arrangement. Phase formation was also confirmed by Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) which displayed both Co-O tetrahedral and Al-O octahedral which are the main framework for a spinel crystal. Slightly sharper FTIR peaks for the dross route compared to those from the oxide route suggest a difference in crystallinity between the two with different precursors. The particle size distribution was relatively wide (5 – 30 micron), possibly due to a crude nature of the dross precursor. The UV-vis spectra showed absorption in the range of 450-550 nm which is associated with the blue color caused by a shift of the 3d7 electrons of Co2+. The obtained dross-route pigments possessed both a and b color parameters (a = -2.3 to-2.6; b = -3.4 to-4.0) in the negative territory, implying greenness and blueness respectively. The L values were in the 20-30 range. When incorporating into practical glazes, the b parameters unexpectedly became more negative, indicating an even deeper blue tone. This result suggested a high potential for utilization of this dross waste as an alternative precursor source for sustainable production of spinel ceramic pigments.

This study aimed to explore a new perovskite-based color pigment system. The Cr:SrTiO3pigments were in the 350 nm range. A solid solution could be obtained at high calcination temperatures as confirmed by both structural and optical characterization. A secondary phase of SrCr2O7was detected at high Cr doping, suggesting a possible complicated nature of Cr species techniques. Shifting of the absorption edge toward the visible range was also observed. The pigments were found to be evenly distributed in the glaze. The synthesized pigment powders were initially brown-maroon and gradually changed to the red and yellow tones when incorporating with the glaze.

<p>Electrochemical oxidation processes are promising solutions for wastewater treatment due to their high efficiency, easy control and versatility. Mixed metal oxides (MMO) anodes are particularly attractive due to their low cost and specific catalytic properties. Here, we propose an innovative thermal decomposition methodology using <a>polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)</a> as a solvent to prepare Ti/RuO<sub>2</sub>–IrO<sub>2</sub> anodes. Comparative anodes were prepared by conventional method employing a polymeric precursor solvent (Pechini method). The calcination temperatures studied were 300, 400 and 500 °C. The physical characterisation of all materials was performed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy, while electrochemical characterisation was done by cyclic voltammetry, accelerated service lifetime and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Both RuO<sub>2</sub> and IrO<sub>2</sub> have rutile-type structures for all anodes. Rougher and more compact surfaces are formed for the anodes prepared using PVA. Amongst temperatures studied, 300 °C using PVA as solvent is the most suitable one to produce anodes with expressive increase in voltammetric charge (250%) and accelerated service lifetime (4.3 times longer) besides reducing charge-transfer resistance (8 times lower). Moreover, the electrocatalytic activity of the anodes synthesised with PVA toward the Reactive Blue 21 dye removal in chloride medium (100 % in 30 min) is higher than that prepared by Pechini method (60 min). Additionally, the removal total organic carbon point out improved mineralisation potential of PVA anodes. Finally, this study reports a novel methodology using PVA as solvent to synthesise Ti/RuO<sub>2</sub>–IrO<sub>2</sub> anodes with improved properties that can be further extended to synthesise other MMO compositions.</p>

In the present work, LaNi0.5Ti0.45Co0.05O3, LaNi0.45Co0.05Ti0.5O3, and LaNi0.5Ti0.5O3 perovskites were synthesized by the modified Pechini method. These materials were characterized using X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction coupled to the Rietveld method. The crystal structure of these materials is orthorhombic, with space group Pbnm (No 62). The unit-cell parameters are a = 5.535(5) Å, b = 5.527(3) Å, c = 7.819(7) Å, V = 239.2(3) Å3, for the LaNi0.5Ti0.45Co0.05O3, a = 5.538(6) Å, b = 5.528(4) Å, c = 7.825(10) Å, V = 239.5(4) Å3, for the LaNi0.45Co0.05Ti0.5O3, and a = 5.540(2) Å, b = 5.5334(15) Å, c = 7.834(3) Å, V = 240.2(1) Å3, for the LaNi0.5Ti0.5O3.

Spinel-perovskite multiferroics of NiFe2O4/BiFeO3 nanoparticles were prepared by modified Pechini method. The structure and morphology of the composites were examined by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the composites consisted of spinel NiFe2O4 and perovskite BiFeO3 after annealed at 700°C for 2h, and the particle size ranges from 40 to 100nm. VSM and ME results indicated that the nanocomposites exhibited both tuning magnetic properties and a ME effect. The ME effect of the nanocomposites strongly depended on the magnetic bias and magnetic field frequency.
