Submicron YBa2Cu3O7−δ particles have been produced in an aerosol flame reactor by a spray pyrolysis method in which an aerosol composed of an aqueous solution of Y, Ba, and Cu nitrate salts was introduced into a flame. It was observed that the configuration of the flame is particularly important for the successful application of the method. A premixed flame gave particles with an x-ray diffraction pattern resembling the XRD spectra of materials exposed to high concentrations of water vapor. An over-ventilated diffusion flame configuration produced the desired result: submicron unagglomerated, solid crystalline particles with Tc = 92 K.

ABSTRACTAn oriented film of YBa2Cu3O7−x superconductor was formed by a spray pyrolysis method. The temperature dependence of resistance showed the Tc-onset at 95K and Tc-zero at 83K with the film on a cubic zirconia single crystal surface. The X-ray diffraction pattern showed that the structure of the film was pure orthorhombic phase. Effect of the substrates and the modification of the substrates surface to form superconductive films are presented.

α-Fe2O3 thin films have been deposited on Si(111) substrates at high temperatures (600–800 °C) by the spray pyrolysis method. Four different iron(III) β-diketonates have been used as precursors in order to obtain polycrystalline films of good adherence, which have been characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and magnetic measurements.

In this work, the synthesis of manganese oxide nanoparticles was achieved by one-step spray pyrolysis method. The nanoparticles were synthesized just from MnCl2 aqueous solution. The solution was nebulized to a Si substrate placed at 400 °C for 1, 5 10 and 20 min and transported at a 0.1 L /min rate in a Nitrogen flux. The X-ray diffraction confirms tetragonal Mn3O4 as the unique phase in the whole sample. The scanning electron microscopy images proved the achievement of irregular nanoparticles with an average diameter of 280 nm experimentally determined by dynamic light scattering. Energy dispersive X-ray and Raman spectroscopy confirmed that the nanoparticles were obtained with Mn3O4 single-phase and the employed methodology prevented any contamination. The nanoparticles proved to induce temperature enhancement on artificial breast tissue by exposition to microwave radiation by achieving an increase in temperature around 8 %.

Abstract Thin films of cobalt oxide (Co3O4) were prepared on glass substrates by the spray pyrolysis method using a solar concentrator (oven) manufactured in our laboratory. We used different processing temperatures (300° C, 350° C and 400° C). The structural, optical and electrical properties of the different samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Visible spectroscopy and the Hall effect measurement system. X-ray diffraction observations revealed that cubic crystals are created in all films produced, and the film structure is that of a single phase created with preferential orientation along the (311) axis in films at low temperatures, and the axis (111) for high temperatures. The grain sizes of our products vary between (22.62nm and 66.19nm), depending on the processing temperature. The optical band gap of the crystals obtained was measured. The results of the optical forbidden bands of the crystals obtained, indicated two bands of the values for each element (Eg1 and Eg2). We observed that the values of the effective optical forbidden bands increase by 2.547eV and 3.0731eV with the increase in the production temperature., In addition the film produced experiences a decrease in the Urbach parameters which vary between 162.20meV and 360.81meV depending on the increase in production temperatures. Finally, the films produced have electrical conductivity values of (1.090 [(Ω.cm)−1] to 1.853 [(Ω.cm)−1] and electrical resistivity values of 1.431 (Ω.cm) at 1.853 (Ω.cm), depending on the variation in the production temperature.

Undoped and tin (Sn) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film have been deposited by spray pyrolysis method of zinc acetate and tin chloride. Toe concentration ratio of[Sn ]/ [Zn] was varied from 0-5 at %. Toe effect of doping Sn on physical and optical properties was studied by different techniques such as X-ray diffraction for structural characterization, SEM for thickness and morphology, UV-Vis spectroscopy for optical properties, Hall effect and photoconductivity for electrical characterization. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show that the films deposited are polycrystalline with (002) plane as the preferential orientation. According to Scherrer's equation, grain size values on the films are found between 30 - 45 nm with spherical shape. Optical transmittance was about 92% in visible range for the optimum film and shows that the band gap decreases from 3 .29 to 3.17 e V.

AbstractBiaxially textured YBa2Cu307-δ films were fabricated by non-vacuum electrodeposition and spray pyrolysis techniques. Electrodeposited YBCO was prepared on sputtered copper/single-crystal substrates. Electrodeposition was carried out at constant voltage and the deposition was completed in only few minutes. The thickness of the as-deposited films was in the range of 0.6 to 2 μm. The optimized sputtered copper layer thickness was about 200 Å on SrTiO3. In the spray pyrolysis method, the solution is sprayed directly onto SrTiO3 substrates. The substrate temperature is about 100°C. The thickness of the as-deposited films was in the range of 1.2 to 2μm. The electrodeposited and spray-deposited films were annealed at temperatures ranging from 800° to 920°C under various flowing gas mixtures. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that processed electrodeposited and spray-deposited films were biaxially textured, where YBCO grains were well oriented along the c-axis and in the (a,b) plane. Δω, deduced from the rocking curve on the (005) reflection, was as low as 0.46°. Δφ, deduced from the phi-scan on the (103) reflection, was as low as 0.54°. The critical current density for these types of films is about 0.5 MA/cm2at 77 K and 0 T.

AbstractLeaching titaniferous magnetite concentrate with alkali solution of high concentration under high temperature and high pressure was utilized to improve the grade of iron in iron concentrate and the grade of TiO2 in titanium tailings. The titaniferous magnetite concentrate in use contained 12.67% TiO2 and 54.01% Fe. The thermodynamics of the possible reactions and the kinetics of leaching process were analyzed. It was found that decomposing FeTiO3 with NaOH aqueous solution could be carried out spontaneously and the reaction rate was mainly controlled by internal diffusion. The effects of water usage, alkali concentration, reaction time, and temperature on the leaching procedure were inspected, and the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and energy dispersive spectroscopy, respectively. After NaOH leaching and magnetic separation, the concentrate, with Fe purity of 65.98% and Fe recovery of 82.46%, and the tailings, with TiO2 purity of 32.09% and TiO2 recovery of 80.79%, were obtained, respectively.

Hydroxyapatite/chitosan (HApC) composite has been prepared by precipitation method and used for removal of heavy metals (Cr6+, Zn2+and Cd2+) from aqueous solution. The HAp and 3H7C composite with HAp:chitosan ratio of 3:7 (wt%) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The SEM results showed that HAp is spherical-shaped and crystalline, while chitosan has a flat structure. SEM micrograph of 3H7C composite reveals crystalline of HAp uniformly spread over the surface of chitosan. The crystal structure of HAp is maintained in 3H7C composite. Chitosan affects the adsorption capacity of HAp for heavy metal ions; it binds the metal ions as well as HAp. The kinetic data was best described by the pseudo-second order. Surface adsorption and intraparticle diffusion take place in the mechanism of adsorption process. The binding of HAp powder with chitosan made the capability of composite to removal of Cr6+, Zn2+and Cd2+from aqueous solution effective. The order of removal efficiency (Cr6+> Cd2+> Zn2+) was observed.
