This research was aimed to synthesize calcium carbonate nanoparticles from CaCl2, NaCl and Na2CO3 precursors by mechano-chemical route without any subsequent heat treatment of the as-milled powder. Effects of intensive milling duration and amount of NaCl as a diluting agent on the powder particle characteristics have been investigated. XRD results showed that CaCO3 nanoparticles were obtained after 30 minutes of continuous milling in the planetary ball mill regardless of the amount of NaCl. Further milling up to 10 hour resulted in peak broadening indicating the crystallite refinement. For the 10-hour milled sample in the presence of 3.5 mole% NaCl, the mean crystallite and particle sizes were 12 and 56 nm, respectively. Those values decreased slightly when the amount of NaCl increased from 3.5 to 10.3 mole%.

Nano-particles of metal oxides Mn3O4, Cu2O, Fe3O4, the mixture of Zn(OH)2 and ZnO have been successfully prepared via a novel solid-liquid mechanochemical reaction technology. The metal powders are ground in water solutions using planetary ball mill. The solid-liquid reactions can occur on the surface of the powders and the reacted layer can be continuously peeled off during milling. The mean sizes of the as-prepared particles are approximately 20~100nm.The formation of nano-particles is attributed to the reactions between particles and solution as well as the repeated and quick peeling of the formed oxides on the surface of metal particles. Furthermore, the reaction rate and phase types of the products can be controlled by adjusting the pH value of the solution.

In this study, cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized by intensive mechanical alloying of CoCO3 and α-Fe2O3 powder using a planetary high energy ball mill in air without any subsequent heat treatment. Effects of milling time on the phase composition, morphology and magnetic properties of the powders were evaluated using XRD, FESEM and VSM techniques, respectively. XRD results indicated that single phase CoFe2O4 nanoparticles with a mean crystallite size of 15 nm were synthesized after 25 hours of mechanical milling. FESEM images confirmed the formation of uniform nanoparticles and showed that the mean particle size of the milling products was decreased from 51 to 25 nm by increasing the milling time from 20 to 30 hours. VSM measurements of the sample milled for 25 hours revealed a saturation magnetization (Ms) of 52.19 emu/g and coercivity (Hc) of 831.95 Oe, which were higher than those of 20 hours milled sample.

Metallic residues are distributed heterogeneously onto small-arms range soils from projectile fragmentation upon impact with a target or berm backstop. Incremental Sampling Methodology (ISM) can address the spatially heterogeneous contamination of surface soils on small-arms ranges, but representative kilogram-sized ISM subsamples are affected by the range of metallic residue particle sizes in the sample. This study compares the precision and concentrations of metals in a small-arms range soil sample processed by a puck mill, ring and puck mill, ball mill, and mortar and pestle prior to analysis. The ball mill, puck mill, and puck and ring mill produced acceptable relative standard deviations of less than 15% for the anthropogenic metals of interest (Lead (Pb), Antimony (Sb), Copper (Cu), and Zinc (Zn)), with the ball mill exhibiting the greatest precision for Pb, Cu, and Zn. Precision by mortar and pestle, without milling, was considerably higher (40% to >100%) for anthropogenic metals. Media anthropogenic metal concentrations varied by more than 40% between milling methods, with the greatest concentrations produced by the puck mill, followed by the puck and ring mill and then the ball mill. Metal concentrations were also dependent on milling time, with concentrations stabilizing for the puck mill by 300 s but still increasing for the ball mill over 20 h. Differences in metal concentrations were not directly related to the surface area of the milled sample. Overall, the tested milling methods were successful in producing reproducible data for soils containing metallic residues. However, the effects of milling type and time on concentrations require consideration in environmental investigations.

In this research a composite structure containing of a TiB2 matrix with dispersed Al2O3 particles was obtained via mechanical alloying of Al, TiO2 and B2O3 powder mixture. The mixture was milled for different lengths of time. Phase evolutions of the milled powder mixture were investigated. Powder particle characteristics were evaluated by XRD, SEM and TEM techniques. The XRD results reveal that the reaction begins during first 10 h milling by formation of TiB2 and Al2O3¬ phases and further milling causes partial amorphization of powder mixture. SEM micrograph of the sample milled for 30 h exhibited ultrafine particles of Al2O3-TiB2, but TEM images show that particles consist of some grains in the range of nano-size. The mean crystallite size of final product is about 25 nm.

AbstractIn this work, the Cd0.9-xZn0.1BixS QDs with different compositions of Bi3+ ions (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) were synthesized using a facile chemical route. The prepared QDs were characterized for analyzing the structural, morphological, elemental, optical, band gap, photoluminescence and electrochemical properties. XRD results confirmed that the Cd0.9-xZn0.1BixS QDs have a cubic structure. The mean crystallite size was increased from ~ 2 to ~ 5 nm for the increase of Bi3+ ions concentration. The optical transmittance behavior was decreased with increasing Bi3+ ions. The scanning electron microscope images showed that the prepared QDs possessed agglomerated morphology and the EDAX confirmed the presence of doped elements as per stoichiometry ratio. The optical band gap was slightly blue-shifted for initial substitution (Bi3+  = 1%) of Bi3+ ions and red-shifted for further increase of Bi3+ compositions. The optical band gap was ranged between 3.76 and 4.0 eV. High intense red emission was received for Bi3+ (1%) doped Zn:CdS QDs. The red emission peaks were shifted to a higher wavelength side due to the addition of Bi3+ ions. The PL emission on UV-region was raised for Bi3+ (1%) and it was diminished. Further, a violet (422 nm) and blue (460 nm) emission were received for Bi3+ ions doping. The cyclic voltammetry analysis showed that Bi3+ (0%) possessed better electrical properties than other compositions of Bi3+ ions.

Commercial copper and iron powders were used as starting materials. These powders were mechanically alloyed to obtain Cu(100-x) Fex supersaturated mixture. The milling duration was chosen in such a way as to obtain a nanostructured mixture and to form a supersaturated solid solution of CuFe; the powder mixture was used to deposit CuFe on a glass substrate. The elaboration of our films has been carried out using thermal evaporation process (physical vapor deposition) under 1 × 10-6 mbar vacuum from an electrically heated tungsten boat, using the supersaturated solid solution Cu(100-x) Fex powder obtained by mechanical alloying. The films deposition has been done on glass substrates. In this study, we present the composition effect on the structural and magnetic proprieties of Cu(100-x) Fex powder and thin films. The chemical composition, structural and magnetic proprieties of milled powders and thin films were examined by SEM, TEM, XRD, XRF and VSM.

Dispersion-strengthened copper with TiB2 was produced by ball-milling and spark plasma sintering (SPS).Ball-milling was performed at a rotation speed of 300rpm for 30 and 60min in Ar atmosphere by using a planetary ball mill (AGO-2). Spark-plasma sintering was carried out at 650°C for 5min under vacuum after mechanical alloying. The hardness of the specimens sintered using powder ball milled for 60min at 300rpm increased from 16.0 to 61.8 HRB than that of specimen using powder mixed with a turbular mixer, while the electrical conductivity varied from 93.40% to 83.34%IACS. In the case of milled powder, hardness increased as milling time increased, while the electrical conductivity decreased. On the other hand, hardness decreased with increasing sintering temperature, but the electrical conductiviey increased slightly

Fe3O4 ferrofluids with uniform magnetic particles were prepared via improved chemical coprecipation technique. A narrow distribution of 8.6-10.8 nm particle sizes was obtained from the magnetization curve using the free-form-model based on Bayesian inference theory. The mean particle diameter about 9.8 nm is consistent with the XRD and SEM results. The hydrodynamic properties of ferrofluids were investigated with different applied magnetic field and shear rate. The experimental results show that diluted ferrofluid and concentrated ferrofluid are Newtonian-fluid and Bingham-plastic fluid, respectively.

Abstract Different particle sizes of blade- and ball-milled poppy straw were separated and analyzed for morphine by high pressure liquid chromatography. Morphine content varied up to 70% among the different size particles. This may account for discrepancies observed in percentages of morphine found among random aliquots. Homogenizing a carefully quartered sample of blade-milled straw by further pulverization in a percussion ball mill 2 min and taking a quartered aliquot for morphine analysis improved the reproducibility of results.
