Mesoporous hollow silica material (MHS) was synthesized using polystyrene as a template. Later, it was modified by wet impregnation with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) as a solid adsorbent for CO2 capture. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), IR, and TGA were used to characterize the average diameter, shell thickness, crystalline structure, and TEPA load of the prepared adsorbents. An increase in the amount of loaded TEPA, improved the CO2 adsorption capacity of the prepared adsorbents. The highest CO2 adsorption capacity was obtained using a 50 wt% TEPA load (AMHS-50).

Amino-modified Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanocomposite particles were prepared by one-step glycothermal method. The shape and morphology of Fe 3 O 4 particles change when a small amount of water is added as a co-solvent in the glycothermal method. The morphology and structure of the sample were characterized and measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. TEM images show that the morphology of the samples is from irregular polyhedron to spherical particles. Average diameter of particles is approximately 70/40/10 nm and more evenly distributed. XRD results show that the samples are cubic spinel structure. FTIR results show that a chemical bonds combination exists between the amino and iron oxide, nano-iron oxide are modified by the amino.

Fuel Source

Biogas is a renewable fuel source of methane (CH4), and its utilization as a natural gas substitute or transport fuel has received much interest. However, apart from CH4, biogas also contains carbon dioxide (CO2) which is noncombustible, thus reducing the biogas heating value. Therefore, upgrading biogas by removing CO2 is needed for most biogas applications. In this study, an amine-functionalized adsorbent for CO2 capture from biogas was developed. Mesoporous MgO was synthesized and functionalized with different tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) loadings by wet impregnation technique. The prepared adsorbents (MgO-TEPA) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and N2 adsorption-desorption. The CO2 adsorption performance of the prepared MgO-TEPA was tested using simulated biogas as feed gas stream. The results show that the CO2 adsorption capacities of the adsorbents increase with increasing TEPA loading. The optimum TEPA loading is 40 wt.%, which gives the highest CO2 adsorption capacity of 4.98 mmol/g. A further increase in TEPA loading to 50 wt.% significantly reduces the CO2 adsorption capacity. Furthermore, the stability and regenerability of the adsorbent with 40% TEPA loading (MgO-TEPA-40) were studied by performing ten adsorption-desorption cycles under simulated biogas and real biogas conditions. After ten adsorption-desorption cycles, MgO-TEPA-40 shows slight decreases of only 5.42 and 5.75% of CO2 adsorption capacity for the simulated biogas and biogas, respectively. The results demonstrate that MgO-TEPA-40 possesses good stability and regenerability which are important for the potential application of this amine-based adsorbent.

Acidic Sulphate

Tenorite (CuO) nanoparticles were prepared from a dilute CuSO4 solution. The solution was obtained by leaching (pH=1.5) of smelting furnace dust of Sarcheshmeh Copper Complex, Iran. The recovery of copper from the acidic sulphate solution was carried out by solvent extraction using Lix 984-N. Tenorite nanoparticles were synthesized by direct thermal decomposition of Langite [Cu4(OH)6SO4(H2O)2] as a precursor which was calcinated in air for 2 h at 750?C. The Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The average diameter of the spherical pure CuO nanoparticles and their crystallite size were estimated to be 92 nm and 40nm, respectively. The simplicity of the present method suggests its potential application at industrial scale as a cheap and convenient way to produce pure CuO nanoparticles from dilute CuSO4 solutions obtained from leaching of smelting furnace dust.

The PVP/Fe3O4 composite nanofibers with different Fe3O4 nanoparticle loading were obtained by electrospinning. The characterization and performance analysis of the composite nanofibers were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and antistatic fabric instrument. The results showed that the average diameter of PVP/Fe3O4 composite nanofibers is smaller than that of pure PVP. At 5wt% Fe3O4 nanoparticle loading, the coefficient of variation CV value was low, while the composite nanofiber diameter distribution was good. Fe3O4 nanoparticles were spherical and had no obvious agglomeration. With increasing Fe3O4 nanoparticle loading, the thermal and antistatic properties of PVP/Fe3O4 composite nanofibers were significantly improved.

A series of crystalline Ce1-xZrxO2 nanoparticles (where x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) have been prepared by (i) hydrothermal (ii) polymer based metal-complex precursor solution reactions. Hydrothermal method was performed with diethanol amine as hydrolysis catalyst. The effect of reaction conditions on the size of particles and their morphology were investigated. In the polymer based method, by calcination of suitable polymer precursor solutions at a temperature range between 300 and 450 °C along with variation in the period of time, the metal oxide powders were subsequently obtained. The prepared powders have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) .These studies reveled that zirconium is a good host for insertion into Cerium oxide in fluorite structure. The as-prepared samples were further characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The average diameter of the nanoparticles were calculated from line broadening of XRD peaks and confirmed by SEM and TEM studies.

In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of Mo-Ni-W oxides. The precursor was prepared from an aqueous solution of ammonium heptamolibdate, ammonium metatungstate, and nickel nitrate with an atomic ratio of 1:1:1 (Mo:W:Ni). The solution was then transferred to a Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave and heated to 200 °C and left at this temperature for 48 h. The resulting material was then washed and dried. The morphology and elemental composition were studied by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The porosity was studied by the Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller method. The materials synthesized at 200 °C remained amorphous and had a specific surface area of 114 m2/g with pore size of 34 Å. The average length was 1 μm and the average diameter was 60 nm. The crystalline phase of synthesized material corresponded to W0.4Mo0.6O3 and WO3. After annealing at 550 °C for two hours, the material was polycrystalline with a segregated structure of MoO3, WO3; NiMoO4 was observed. The sublimation of the molybdenum oxide was evident when annealed at 900 °C for two hours and finally two crystalline phases of material remained; roundish WO3 and elongated particles of NiWO4.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.

AbstractThe detonation of explosives typically creates 100's of kbar pressures and 1000's K temperatures. These pressures and temperatures last for only a fraction of a microsecond as the products expand. Nucleation and growth of crystalline materials can occur under these conditions. Recovery of these materials is difficult but can occur in some circumstances. This paper describes the detonation synthesis facility, recovery of nano-size diamond, and plans to synthesize other nano-size materials by modifying the chemical composition of explosive compounds. The characterization of nano-size diamonds by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy will also be reported.

Zirconia-graphene composite (ZrO2-G) has been successfully synthesized via decomposition of ZrOCl2•6H2O in a water-isopropanol system with dispersed graphene oxide (GO) utilizing Na2S as a precursor could enable the occurrence of the deposition of Zr4+ and the deoxygenation of GO at the same time. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to characterize the samples. It was found that graphene were fully coated with ZrO2, and the ZrO2 existing in tetragonal phase, which resulted in the formation of two-dimensional composite.
