In this work, a simple, reproducible and low-cost synthesis method for the preparation of ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) was developed. ß-TCP was prepared via wet mechanochemical treatment using calcium oxide and calcium hydrogen phosphate as raw materials. XRD and FTIR analysis indicated that the as-treated precursor was non-stoichiometric, poorly-crystallized carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) resulting from the mechanochemical reaction, and the crystalline ß-TCP powder was obtained by calcining the precursor at 800°C for 2 hours. SEM observation showed that the addition of surfactants could eliminate the agglomeration of the powder and well-dispersive ß-TCP powder with a particle diameter between 0.1 and 2.0 2m can be obtained.

The present study investigates the different approaches of biodiesel production by exploiting low cost feedstocks such as organic wastes of frying oils (WFO) and wastes of beef fats (WBF). The aim was to compare not only two different sources of waste raw materials but also different approaches of biodiesel production. Biodiesel which refers to fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) was produced by both chemical and enzymatic transesterification. The characterization of the biodiesel produced by both approaches was performed according to the European standard EN 14214. The results showed that the biological method gave a richer FAME biodiesel through the catalysis of whole-cell lipase. However, for the chemical method, better biodiesel physicochemical properties were observed for the two raw materials. Therefore, it would be interesting to compromise by optimizing the biological biodiesel production approach in order to obtain a better quality in coherence with EN 14214 requirements.

AbstractIn this study, the mullite-quartz-based proppants were successfully prepared by using the coal gangue as the raw materials. Then, the effects of the additive and the sintering temperature on the composition, microstructure, and properties of the proppants were investigated. Results showed that the proppants sintered at 1250°C with the 10 wt% bauxite additive presented the best performance, which was very close to that of the quartz-proppant, and met the operational requirements of the 52 MPa coal bed methane wells. The viscous flow mechanism of the liquid phase formed during the sintering process also promoted the arrangement of the grains, thus benefiting the densification and the strength of the proppants.

Biomass-derived porous carbon materials have drawn considerable attention due to their natural abundance and low cost. In this work, nitrogen-doped porous carbons with high nitrogen content and large surface areas were designed and prepared from cottonseed hull and cattail. The two plant-based biomass compositions are similar, but the structures are very different, generating distinctly different property and performance of the prepared carbon materials. NRPC-112 has good electrochemical properties, while CN800 has good adsorption properties. By comparing the microstructure differences between the two starting materials, it was found that the structure of the raw materials would significantly affect the properties and performance of the materials. The work provided an important theoretical basis and reference for the selection of bio-resources for preparing carbon material. It is also important for choosing the appropriate synthesis method, process optimization, and application scenarios.

It has a relatively rapid reaction with self-propagating combustion method to synthesize Ti-Al-N powder. This can effectively avoid uneven phenomenon of aluminum melting reunion during the reaction of raw materials. So you can use lower-cost aluminum as raw materials. In addition, the combustion synthesis method also has a simple process and low-cost advantage. Thus this method has the potential to become the optimum process method to prepare Ti2AlN and Ti4AlN3. In this paper, Ti, Al elemental powders and N2 were used as raw materials. The powder of Ti2AlN was successfully prepared for the first time by combustion synthesis method. This substance is a nitrogen compound of single-phase and three yuan. The results from the XRD diffraction analysis and SEM show that synthetic product is high purity Ti2AlN with a small sample to combustion synthesis when the pressure of nitrogen is in 5 MPa, but the content of synthesis products Ti2AlN is small when the sample is magnified, and the TiN and AlN has a higher content. It can burn synthetic Ti2AlN to control the nitrogen pressure and add the amount of TiN, and the pressure of N2 is better 2 MPa, and the amount of TiN added is better 30 wt.%.

The addition of industrial residues into common red clay ceramic has been, from many decades, an alternative of using other low cost raw materials and, more recently, as an environmentally correct destination for polluting substances. An important residue, known as yellow sludge, is that generated at the water clearing stage (WCS) of a treatment plant by some heavy industries such as an integrated steel making. Since this yellow sludge residue is normally disposed in ways that pollutes water bodies, the objective of the present work was to characterize a WCS yellow sludge and investigate its addition into clay ceramics. The residue was characterized by X-ray fluorescence, particle size distribution and scanning electron microscopy. The addition was carried out up to 7.5 wt% followed by firing at 800oC. The added ceramics were evaluated in terms of water absorption, linear shrinkage, dry apparent density and flexural rupture strength. It was found that the residue addition does not practically alter the ceramic technical properties.

AbstractSpherical AlN powders with micrometer size have attracted great attention owing to their good fluidity and dispersity. However, the industrial preparation methods usually require high temperature and long soaking time, which lead to the high cost and limit the wide application of the products. Herein, nearly spherical AlN particles with the average size of 2.5 µm were successfully synthesized via an in-situ combustion synthesis method. The effect of N2 pressure, NH4Cl content, and Al particle size on the combustion reaction procedure, phase composition, and microstructure of the products was systematically investigated. The results showed that the decreased N2 pressure, increased NH4Cl content, and Al particle size led to the decreasing of combustion temperature and speed, which further affected the morphology of the products. As a result, low N2 pressure (0.2 MPa), a small amount of NH4Cl (0.5 wt%), and fine Al particles (∼2.5 µm) contributed to a moderate combustion temperature and facilitated the formation of nearly spherical AlN particles. In addition, based on the gas-releasing assisted quenching experiments and thermo-kinetic analysis, a two-step growth mechanism for the nearly spherical AlN particles was rationally proposed. The present method shows the advantages of low cost and high efficiency for preparing nearly spherical AlN particles, which can be used as raw materials for electronic substrates and fillers for packaging materials.

The synthesis of magnetite (Fe3O4) microparticles has been successfully carried out using rust and leaf extract of grass (Imperata cylindrica L). The purpose of this research is the synthesis and characterization of Fe3O4 microparticles using the Green Synthesis method. The UV-Vis results showed that the absorption peak was at a wavelength of 273 nm with an absorbance value of 0.75. FTIR analysis shows the shift of the peak at wave number 3356 cm-1 to 3290 cm-1 and the appearance of a new peak at wave number 500 cm-1 which is characteristic of the Fe-O-Fe functional group and indicates the formation of Fe3O4 microparticles. XRD results showed six specific peaks, which were crystallinity of Fe3O4 microparticles at position 2 theta 30.40 °, 35.70 °, 43.30 °, 53.80 °, 57.40 °, and 63.00 °. PSA analysis showed that the mean particle size was > 100 nm, and the PZC results showed a zeta potential of 20 mV. SEM results showed the morphology of Fe3O4 microparticles with 1000x magnification, and EDS analysis results showed Fe and O's elemental composition.
