The polyol synthesis is a well-established method to form so-called “surfactant-free” nanoparticles (NPs). In the present study, the NP size resulting from the thermal reduction of the precursors H2PtCl6, H2Pt(OH)6, or Pt(acac)2 in presence of the bases NaOH or Na(acac) at different concentrations is studied. It is shown that the size control depends more strongly on the nature of the precursor (metal salt) than on the anion present in the base. The latter is surprising as the concentration of the base anion is often an important factor to achieve a size control. The reduction of H2PtCl6 or H2Pt(OH)6 in presence of NaOH and Na(acac) confirm the observation that the NP size is determined by the OH−/Pt molar ratio and expands it to the base anion/Pt molar ratio. In contrast, the reduction of Pt(acac)2 in presence of the bases NaOH (previous reports) or Na(acac) (shown in the present work) leads to larger NPs of ca. 3 nm, independent of the concentration of the base anions. Hence, the anion effect observed here seems to originate predominantly from the nature of the precursor (precursor anion dependence) and only for certain precursors as H2PtCl6 or H2Pt(OH)6 the size control depends on the base anion/Pt molar ratio.

Silver metal powders were prepared through reduction of AgNO3 in ethylene glycol using microwave-polyol (M-P) and conventional-polyol (C-P) reactions at 100–200 °C. Powders of Ag were rapidly produced by microwave-assisted reaction at temperatures above 160 °C. The formation yield of Ag powders from AgNO3 reached 97.8% after treatment for 135 min at 140 °C and 98.6% after treatment for 23 min at 160 °C. Compared to the formation of Ag powders using a C-P reaction, a M-P reaction led to increased rate of formation by 6.5 times at 160 °C, 5.2 times at 140 °C, and 3 times at 130 °C. Silver particles of 0.3–2 μm in diameter were produced using M-P and C-P reactions at 100–120 °C. The particle size of Ag powders increased with increasing reaction temperatures and times, and particles strongly aggregated at 160 °C using C-P and M-P reactions.

Citrate hydrolyzing method was used to prepare nano-LiAlO2 powder, and the technological parameters were optimized by orthogonal experiment. The minimum size of LiAlO2 powder was about 100nm, obtained when the green performs were sintered at 690°C for 2h, with the molar ratio of citric acid and metal-salt of 1:1 and concentration of Li+ of 0.5mol/L. XRD and SEM were used to examine the phase composition, particle size and microstructure. The LiAlO2 powder had been agglomerated during the sintering process.

Transesterification of dimethyl 2,6-napthalene dicarboxylate with ethylene glycol over metal salts catalyst was empolyed as probe reation. The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, the molar ratio of ethylene glycol to dimethyl 2,6-napthalene dicarboxylate, N2 flowrate, kind of metal salt on the conversion of dimethyl 2,6-napthalene dicarboxylate have been investigated. The results showed that the sequence of influence was as follows: reaction temperature > reaction time > ethylene glycol/dimethyl 2,6-napthalene dicarboxylate molar ratio > amount of the catalyst. The optimum reaction conditions were 210 oC of reaction temperature, 240 min of reaction time, 2.8 molar ratio of ethylene glycol to dimethyl 2,6-napthalene dicarboxylate, 60 ml/min of N2, amount of zinc acetate being 0.08 % / mole of dimethyl 2,6-napthalene dicarboxylate.

ABSTRACTCobalt nanoparticles were synthesized by means of a hot metal reduction reaction with cobalt chloride as precursor material. The size of cobalt nanoparticles was controlled by the choice of surfactant and the molar ratio of surfactant-to-reagent. Surfactants with larger alkane side chains yielded a smaller average nanoparticle size (diameter) and tighter size distribution, as these chains provided steric hindrance to the growth of the nanoparticles after initial nucleation. For each alkane side chain, a high molar ratio of surfactant-to-reagent (HSR) rendered nanoparticles with smaller particle size, while a low molar ratio of surfactant-to-reagent (LSR) produced larger nanoparticles. Measurements on transmission electron microscope images of cobalt particles synthesized with tri-octylphosphine revealed an average particle size of 6.9 nm (HSR) and 9.1 nm (LSR), while particles synthesized with tri-butylphosphine had a mean diameter of 12.5 nm (HSR) and 14.9 nm (LSR). X-ray diffraction profiles indicated that particles had metastable ε-cobalt structure. Room temperature magnetization measurements showed ferromagnetic behavior with highly square M-H loops indicative of single domain particles with coercive fields in the range of 400–500 Oe.

Abstract The feasibility of industrial waste fly ash as an alternative fluxing agent for silica in carbothermal reduction of medium-low-grade phosphate ore was studied in this paper. With a series of single-factor experiments, the reduction rate of phosphate rock under different reaction temperature, reaction time, particle size, carbon excess coefficient, and silicon–calcium molar ratio was investigated with silica and fly ash as fluxing agents. Higher reduction rates were obtained with fly ash fluxing instead of silica. The optimal conditions were derived as: reaction temperature 1,300°C, reaction time 75 min, particle size 48–75 µm, carbon excess coefficient 1.2, and silicon–calcium molar ratio 1.2. The optimized process condition was verified with other two different phosphate rocks and it was proved universally. The apparent kinetics analyses demonstrated that the activation energy of fly ash fluxing is reduced by 31.57 kJ/mol as compared with that of silica. The mechanism of better fluxing effect by fly ash may be ascribed to the fact that the products formed within fly ash increase the amount of liquid phase in the reaction system and promote reduction reaction. Preliminary feasibility about the recycling of industrial waste fly ash in thermal phosphoric acid industry was elucidated in the paper.
