Abstract Presently, the large amount of industrial leaded wastewater creates a great challenge to both environmental governance and wastewater recycling. Lead complexes in washed water must be removed mostly before the washed water can be recycled. This paper reports the mechanism and factors of removing Pb complexes in simulated washed water by the sulfide precipitation method. The reaction time, sodium sulfide dosage, pH, and polymeric aluminum chloride (PAC) dosage were analyzed and the optimal conditions were explored. The composition of the reaction products was also verified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Additionally, the kinetics of the precipitation reaction of sodium sulfide and Pb-EDTA were studied. These results showed that the Pb removal efficiency reached 91.7% under the optimal process conditions which were as follows: the dosages of Na2S and PAC were 188 mg/L (Na2S/Pb2+ molar ratio of 5:1) and 30 mg/L, respectively, the reaction time was 40 min, and the pH was 9. It was demonstrated using SEM and XRD that the reaction product in the separation process was PbS and the precipitation process was fitted to the following first-order reaction kinetics equation: Ct = 89.1e−0.1047t + 10.1 (R2 = 0.9929; Ct is Pb concentration at reaction time t).

Hydroxyapatite (HAp, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) is the most stable form of calcium phosphate and widely used in various medical applications, mainly in orthopedics and dentistry due to its close similarities with the inorganic mineral component of bone and teeth. This study aims to synthesize hydroxyapatite from duck eggshell using the precipitation method. The duck eggshell was calcined, hydrated (slaking) and underwent carbonation to form Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC).  Afterwards, (NH4)2HPO4 was added to produce HAp by varying the molar ratio of Ca/P by 1.67, 1.77 and 1.87 and stirring speed by 200, 250, 300rpm under basic condition (pH 10 – 11). The best results were obtained at a molar ratio of 1.77 with 200rpm stirring speed. Furthermore, the X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that its crystals were hexagonal with sizes of 23.062nm, in the absence of other crystalline phases. Therefore, the hydroxyapatite was obtained in the agglomerates form with a specific surface area of ??55.929m2/g.

The precursor of bismuth ferrite BiFeO3 powders were prepared by the normal co-precipitation and reversed co-precipitation method. The key influencing factors including the reaction time, the concentration of mineralizer and the molar ratio of raw materials in the normal co-precipitation are systematically studied. Pure BiFeO3 powder has been obtained by adjusting the molar ratio of raw materials. Based on the results of the normal co-precipitation, a simple reversed co-precipitation process has been developed.

Abstract The acidic wastewater produced by the wet production of activated clay contains valuable components such as iron and aluminum. The precipitation method was successfully introduced to separate iron and aluminum from the activated clay production wastewater step by step, which can not only recover the valuable components, but also avoid environmental pollution. In the separation process, gypsum, iron aluminum phosphate, alumina, and sodium sulfate were prepared, and the phase compositions of separation products were analyzed by XRD and IR. The main influencing factors in the separation of iron and aluminum components were studied by single factor experiment. The results show that at the optimized conditions, phosphorus/iron molar ratio 6.0, the system pH 3.0, the reaction temperature 343 K, and the reaction time 90 min, the iron(iii) ion in the system can form a sodium-containing aluminum iron phosphate double salt, and the filtrate after separating Fe3+ and part of Al3+ can meet the requirements for forming high-purity Al2O3. During the phosphate precipitation process, the hypothesis should be correct that Al3+ reacts with PO 4 3 − {\text{PO}}_{4}^{3-} to form an AlPO4 skeleton, Fe3+ isomorphically replaces Al3+ in the [AlO4] tetrahedron, and adsorption occurs simultaneously, with Na+ occupying the terminal acid sites, P(Al)–OH.

A process for synthesis of fine zirconium titanate powders by chemical route is described. Zirconium/titanium molar ratio was varied from 0.67 to 1.5 and the powders produced were analyzed. The precipitation process comprises the mixture of zirconium and titanium metal salt solutions to ammonium hydroxide solution, followed by washing of the precipitate, calcination and grinding to result in zirconium titanate. The ceramic powder is then uniaxially pressed as cylindrical samples and sintered at 1400°C for 5 hours. The microstructure of fractured and thermally etched ceramic was observed by scanning electron microscopy, and crystal phase identifications were done by X-ray diffraction. At least two different zirconium titanate phases, ZrTiO4 and Zr5Ti7O24, were identified. Ceramic hardness was measured by Vickers indentation.

The use of bone substitutes for recovery of lost function is a constant search within the medical field. So biomaterials have received a very large attention from the scientific community, including the materials the basis of calcium phosphate. Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been studied as apart from representing the natural constitution of the mass of bones and teeth in 30 to 70 %, has properties of bioactivity and osteoconductivity, encouraging and assisting the growth of bone tissue. In contrast, bacterial infections can arise after implantation causing the loss of functionality in the short and medium term. Several alternatives are being tested, usually associated with the use of conventional antibiotics incorporated into biomaterials. An alternative to antibiotics would be use such metals that possess antibacterial properties. Silver (Ag) is known as a bactericidal metal and so gained a prominent place among the studies as an important ally in the control of post-surgical infections. This work aimed to synthesize, characterize and evaluate the antimicrobial effect of the addition of silver ions into hydroxyapatite. The hydroxyapatites containing silver were obtained by the precipitation method in aqueous solution containing AgNO3 and by immersing the powder after the precipitation process in aqueous solutions containing AgNO3. At this stage of the work, were analyzed and characterized the crystalline phases and the ionic groups present in HA, HA precipitates with Ag and immersed in a solution of Ag. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra showed that regardless of the method used, precipitation (room temperature or 90°C) or by immersion, the metallic Ag was present in the structure of HA. Additionally, it was observed that the peaks indicated in the XRD pattern for HA corresponding to the diffraction pattern of plugs JPCDS 09-0432 (Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards). No peaks related to the phases being observed β-TCP and CaO, respectively, indicating that the conditions adopted for obtaining HA Ag, only HA phase is present and that methods, precipitation and immersion are efficient to occur doping of HA with Ag

The novel three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) CaO/SiO2, 3DOM CaO/Al2O3, and 3DOM Ca12Al14O32Cl2 catalysts for biodiesel transesterification were prepared by sol-gel method. The 3DOM catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The hierarchical porous structure was achieved; however, only 3DOM CaO/Al2O3 and 3DOM Ca12Al14O32Cl2 catalysts were used for transesterification due to high amount of active CaO. Various parameters such as methanol to oil molar ratio, catalyst concentration, reaction time, and their influence on the biodiesel production were studied. The result showed that 99.0% RPO conversion was achieved using the 3DOM Ca12Al14O33Cl2 as a catalyst under the optimal condition of 12 : 1 methanol to oil molar ratio and 6 wt.% catalyst with reaction time of 3 hours at 65°C.
