Cu(OH)2 precursor was synthesized by direct precipitation method and CuSO4 and NaOH were used as raw materials. Then, Cu(OH)2 precursor was calcined in muffle furnace at 400°C for 2h in order that CuO particle was obtained. Through the analysis of the factors affecting the CuO, the paper determined the optimum conditions for the synthesis of nano-CuO with the direct-precipitation method. Then the paper analyzed phase composition and crystal structure of samples using XRD and calculated the average grain size of samples by Scherrer formula, and observed and analyzed by TEM to characterize the morphology and particle size of samples. The optimum precipitation conditions are as follows: when the precipitation agent is 3.2:1, reaction time 40min and precipitant concentration 0.6mol.L-1. The average size of CuO particle prepared under the conditions is 18nm and the yield is 96%.

Nano-CuO had been successfully synthesized by using direct precipitation method. The prepared sample was characterized by XRD. The luminous intensities of pyrotechnics composite containing KClO4, Mg and nano-CuO were measured. The catalysis of CuO nanocrystal on KClO4 was investigated by thermal analysis instrument. The results show that the average size of nano-CuO is 19 nm and has spherical-shape. When nano-CuO is added into the pyrotechnics composites containing KClO4 and Al, it can improve the igniting and burning performance. The luminous intensity of trinary pyrotechnics composite is also greatly increased. On the other hand, nano-CuO can make thermal decomposition temperature of KClO4 to decrease 97.7 °C, the decalescence amount also reduced to 79.07 J/g. It is obviously that nano-CuO has strong catalysis to KClO4 thermal decomposition. The conclusion is consistent with the measure results of luminous intensity.

Nanometer LaPO4 powders were synthesized by liquid-liquid direct precipitation method. La(NO3)3•6H2O and (NH4)3PO4•3H2O were used as raw materials. The calcining temperature was 900°C, 1000°C, 1100°C, respectively. DTA result shows that the LaPO4 precursor is LaPO4•4H2O. The calicined powders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and exhibited a pure LaPO4 phase with a monazite structure about 50-100 nm in diameter size. With the calcining temperature increasing, the crystallization of the LaPO4 became better and the grain shape changed from elongated grain shape to spherical grain shape.

An direct precipitation method of Calcium glyceroxide Ca(C3H7O3)2 was proposed. The prepared Ca(C3H7O3)2 was effective in transesterification of Jatropha oil into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). The Ca(C3H7O3)2 catalysts were characterized by using XRD, solid state 13C-NMR, FTIR, and Hammett indicator. The influence of various reaction variables on the conversion was investigated. Under a condition of methanol/oil molar ratio of 9:1, a catalyst amount of 4 wt %, reaction time of 1.5 h, and reaction temperature of 65 °C, over 95% of biodiesel yield was obtained.

A Coprecipitation Method Was Applied to Synthesize Al2O3/GdAlO3 Compound Powder, Using Ammonia as the Precipitator. Gadolinium Oxide and Aluminium Nitrate Were Used as the Raw Materials with the Eutectic Ratio( 77 mol% Al 3+ – 23 mol% Gd 3+ ). the Precursor Was Calcined at Different Temperatures from 1200 to 1600 °C. the Phase Identifications at Different Temperatures Were Characterized by X-ray Diffractometry (XRD). the Growth Morphology of Particles Were Investigated Using Field Emission Electro Microscopy (FE-SEM). the Results Reveal that GdAlO3 Crystallized Earlier than α-Al2O3. the Diffraction Peaks of α-Al2O3 Phase Were Observed after Calcination at 1300°C for 1 H. Metastable Phase Gd3Al5O12 Underwent Complete Decomposition at 1600°C for 1 H. Gadolinium Aluminate and α-Al2O3 Showed Different Growth Mechanism during the Calcination Process. the Average Grain Size of the Calcined Powder Increased from ~40 to ~900 Nm as the Calcination Temperature Increased from 1200 to 1600 °C.
