In this paper, SiMgAl hydotalcite synthesis conditions were investigated using co-precipitation method, within a relatively stable pH environment of 8~9. Our research, analysis and discussion focused on the effects of major factors, such as material molar ratio ,silicon content and aged condition, on the structures of synthetic products. To achieve stable and accurate data, synthetic products were characterized by XRD and IR under the identical conditions. As shown in the results, it is suggested that the best Crystallization temperature is 70°C, molar ratio of Mg to Al is 3:1, and the best content of Silicon is 0.015mol/mol.

AbstractNi based catalysts supported on γ-Al2O3 that was unpromoted (Ni/γAl2O3) or promoted (Ni–Fe/γAl2O3, Ni–Co/γAl2O3, and Ni–Fe–Co/γAl2O3) were prepared using by the impregnation – co-precipitation method. Their catalytic performances for CO methanation were studied at 3 atm with a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 3000 ml/g/h of syngas with a molar ratio of H2/CO = 3 and in the temperature range between 130 and 350 °C. All promoters could improve nickel distribution, and decreased its particle sizes. It was found that the Ni–Co/γAl2O3 catalyst showed the highest catalytic performance for CO methanation in a low temperature range (<250 °C). The temperatures for the 20% CO conversion over Ni–Co/γAl2O3, Ni–Fe/γAl2O3, Ni–Fe–Co/γAl2O3 and Ni/γAl2O3 catalysts were 205, 253, 263 and 270 °C, respectively. The improved catalyst distribution by the addition of cobalt promoter caused the formation of β type nickel species which had an appropriate interacting strength with alumina support in the Ni–Co/γAl2O3. Though an addition of iron promoter improved catalyst distribution, the methane selectivity was lowered due to acceleration of both CO methanation and WGS reaction with the Ni–Fe/γAl2O3. Moreover, it was found that there was no synergetic effect from the binary Fe–Co promotors in the Ni–Fe–Co/γAl2O3 on catalytic activity for CO methanation.

The entire world’s challenge is to find out the renewable energy sources due to rapid depletion of fossil fuels because of their high consumption. Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are believed to be the best alternative source which converts chemical energy into electricity without combustion. Nanostructured study is required to develop highly ionic conductive electrolyte for SOFCs. In this work, the calcium doped ceria (Ce0.8Ca0.2O1.9) coated with 20% molar ratio of two alkali carbonates (CDC-M: MCO3, where M = Na and K) electrolyte was prepared by co-precipitation method in this study. Ni based electrode was used to fabricate the cell by dry pressing technique. The crystal structure and surface morphology was characterized by X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). The particle size was calculated in the range of 10–20nm by Scherrer’s formula and compared with SEM and TEM results. The ionic conductivity was measured by using AC Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) method. The activation energy was also evaluated. The performance of the cell was measured 0.567W/cm2 at temperature 550°C with hydrogen as a fuel.

YAG materials has a number of unique properties, the application is very extensive. In this paper, the superfine YAG powder materials were prepared by co-precipitation method and hydrothermal precipitation method. The influence of synthesis process on the morphology of the powder was investigated. The results showed that the precursor powder prepared via the co-precipitation method is mainly from amorphous to crystalline transition with the increasing calcination temperature, the precursor agglomeration is more serious, In the process of increasing the calcination temperature, the dispersibility of the roasted powder is greatly improved, which is favorable for the growth of the crystal grains, so that the particle size of the powder is gradually increased, the YAG precursor prepared by the co-precipitation method is transformed into YAG crystals, the phase transition occurs mainly between 900 and 1100°C. When the molar ratio of salt to alkali is Y3+: OH-=1: 8 via the hydrothermal reaction, the YAG particles with homogeneous morphology can be obtained. When the molar ratio of salt and alkali is increased continuously, the morphology of YAG particles is not obviously changed. The co-precipitation method is easy to control the particle size, the hydrothermal method is easy to control the particle morphology.

Cu-Al catalysts were synthesized by the co-precipitation method to study hydrolysis of hydrogen cyanide. During the synthesis, the impact of Cu/Al molar ratio, pH value and calcination temperature was investigated and the best synthesis condition was found. The results indicate that the remove of hydrogen cyanide first increases and then decreases with increasing Cu/Al molar ratio, pH value and calcination temperature, which reaches the maxima and remains above 95% at 360 min when Cu/Al molar ratio is 2:1, pH value is approximately 8.0 and calcination temperature is 400°C around. The analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows that Cu content is the main influence factor at Cu/Al molar ratio below 2:1 whereas crystallinity of catalysts is the key factor at Cu/Al molar ratio above 2:1.

Several layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with general chemical composition (Cu,Zn)1−xAlx(OH)2(CO3)x/2·mH2O have been synthesized by the co-precipitation method, maintaining a (M2+/M3+) molar ratio of 3, and varying the Cu2+/Zn2+ molar ratio between 0.2 and 6.0. After calcination and reduction steps, Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalysts were synthesized. These catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), H2 thermoprogrammed reduction (H2-TPR), N2 adsorption-desorption at −196 °C, N2O titration, X-ray photoelectron miscroscopy (XPS), NH3-thermoprogramed desorption (NH3-TPD) and CO2- thermoprogrammed desorption (CO2-TPD). The characterization data revealed that these catalysts are mainly meso-and macroporous, where Cu, ZnO and Al2O3 are well dispersed. The catalytic results show that these catalysts are active in the gas-phase hydrogenation of furfural, being highly selective to furfuryl alcohol (FOL) and reaching the highest FOL yield for the catalyst with a Cu2+/Zn2+ molar ratio of 1. In an additional study, the influence of the aging time on the synthesis of the LDHs was also evaluated. The catalytic data revealed that the use of shorter aging time in the formation of the LDH has a beneficial effect on the catalytic behavior, since more disordered structures with a higher amount of available Cu sites is obtained, leading to a higher yield towards FOL (71% after 5 h of time-on-stream at 210 °C).

A series of MgAlFe-CO3 layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were successfully prepared by co-precipitation method. With synthetic wastewater, the effect of doped iron on fluoride sorption by calcined MgAlFe-CO3 layered double hydroxides (CLDH) under different pH and contact time conditions was investigated. The sorption isotherm data were fitted well to Langmuir isotherm at 25 °C. The maximum sorption capacity of fluoride on CLDH increases first and then decreases with the increase of Fe/Al molar ratio and attains maximum of 71.94 mg/g when Fe/Al molar ratio is 1:2, although doped iron is unfavorable to the regeneration of original layered structure for CLDH after fluoride adsorption. No aluminium in the solution after fluoride adsorption was detected when Fe/Al molar ratio is equal to or larger than 1:2. The results indicate that CLDH with proper Fe/Al molar ratio is a promising candidate as an adsorbent material for fluoride removal from aqueous solutions.

Although Zirconium diboride ( ZrB 2) is a desirable combination with some good properties, it is easily oxidized in the high-temperature air to impact high-temperature properties, which dwindles the applied range. In order to decrease oxidization and improve the high-temperature properties of ZrB 2, the surface of ZrB 2 is coated with Al ( OH )3– Y ( OH )3 to synthesize Al ( OH )3– Y ( OH )3/ ZrB 2 composite particles. In this paper, the conditions of synthesizing Al ( OH )3– Y ( OH )3/ ZrB 2 composite particles by the co-precipitation method are investigated. Al ( OH )3– Y ( OH )3/ ZrB 2 composite particles are synthesized under different conditions, but the conditions of synthesizing Al ( OH )3– Y ( OH )3/ ZrB 2 composite particles with the better coating quality require pH = 9, the appropriate concentration ( Al 3+ = 0.017 mol/L , Y 3+ = 0.01 mol/L ) of composite solution, reaction time of 60 min, titration speed of 0.05 ml/s, using the dispersant in the ZrB 2 suspension and the ultrasonic dispersion, respectively.

The introduction of biomineralization was coupled with the co-precipitation synthesis process of nano-hydroxyapatite with the addition of chondroitin sulfate as a template agent. The effect of a variety of processing conditions on the properties of final hydroxyapatite (HA) product was investigated by orthogonal design. The ratio of calcium to phosphorus was detected by chemical analysis, the phase composition was evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the powder morphology was characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM). The process scheme, moreover, was optimized by the analysis of four aspects which may have different extent of influence on product properties. It can be concluded from the results that product properties can be affected remarkably by the content of chondroitin sulfate and the pH value of reactant, less remarkably by the reaction temperature and slightly by the reaction time.
