Crystalline alumina samples with Al2O3 content of 95.23 wt.% were prepared directly from the nepheline ore in Nanjiang county, Sichuan province of China. Four steps were involved in the experiment of alumina preparation, including calcination, dissolution, carbonation and re-calcination. Lime was used in the calcination process with the nepheline concentrates powders to generate soluble aluminates and insoluble silicates. NaOH solution was used as the mother solution in the dissolution process. CO2 was introduced into the solution to precipitate the Al (OH)3 precursor, which was then fired to obtain crystalline alumina. Among the crystalline alumina obtained three phases of crystals existed which were detected by XRD and SEM, including δ-Al2O3 as the major phase, while θ-Al2O3 and κ-Al2O3 as the minor phases. Various crystal phases of alumina could be ascribed to the purity and crystal structure of precursor, as well as the re-calcination temperature and time.

This study investigated fundamental of phase formation, crystal structure and calcination process for bismuth dysprosium titanate (Bi4-xDyxTi3O12; BDT) powders when x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0. BDT powders were prepared using a simple solid-state reaction on mixtures of reagent grade Bi2O3, Dy2O3 and TiO2 powders. The mixtures were calcined at temperature in the range of 500-800°C for 4 h at a heating/cooling rate of 5°C/min. Thermal characteristics of powders were studied using thermogravimetric/differential thermal analyses which indicated that the formation of Bi4Ti3O12 and Bi3Dy1Ti3O12 powders occurred at ~500oC. Effect of Dy3+ concentration on phase and crystal structure was investigated using X-ray diffractometry. The results revealed that at small concentration of Dy dopant (x £ 0.25), optimum calcination temperature for providing bismuth titanate-based phase was 650oC. Increasing content of Dy dopant seemed to reduce calcination temperature to 600oC. This study suggested the alternative environmental friendly BDT materials which may be used as starting powders for production of high quality BDT ceramics.

Ammonium hydrogen carbonate is taken as the precipitating agent to prepare Pr-Nd carbonates from the raw material of Pr-Nd chloride solution. Pr-Nd oxides have been prepared at different calcination temperature in the range of 800°C-1500°C. The oxides were characterized by XRD and XPS.Calcination temperature effects on the structure of Pr-Nd oxides and the valence state of Pr in Pr-Nd oxides have been studied; Results showed that praseodymium oxide full entered into the lattices of neodymium oxide. The crystal structure changed from cubic into hexagonal system with increasing calcination temperature.The valence of Pr in Pr-Nd binary oxides are Pr3+ and Pr4+.

The attapulgite microspheres were produced by spray drying method and calcination process subsequently. The effects of calcination temperature on the microstructure and adsorption properties of methylene blue(MB) were investigated systematically. Results show that the median diameter of the microspheres increases after calcination. The adsorption capacity and removal efficiency of MB reaches the maximum values(96.62mg/g and 96.6%) after calcined at 600°C and decreases with the temperature increasing. The adsorption process can be described better by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and fit the the Langmuir equation. The attapulgite microsphere shows good adsorption properties, which may be used as potential applications in various dyeing wastewater fields.

The title compound was identified as the major phase in a corrosion deposit by indexing its powder pattern, and locating an isostructural vanadium(II) compound in the NIST Crystal Data Identification File. The identity of the compound was confirmed by a Rietveld refinement. Hexaaquairon(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m, with a=18.6415(14), b=6.9291(5), c=6.5938(5) Å, β=104.742(6)°, V=823.68(10) Å3, and Z=2. The structure consists of alternating layers of octahedral hexaaquairon(II) cations and triflate anions. The cations and anions are linked into layers parallel to the bc plane by hydrogen bonds. Each water molecule donates two protons to sulfonate oxygens, and each sulfonate oxygen acts as an acceptor of two protons. A reference powder diffraction pattern is reported.

Reaction of silver(I) bromide with ethylenediamine (en) leads to the formation of the 1:1 compound poly[AgBr(μ2-en-N,N’)] (I). In the crystal structure the silver atoms of AgBr dimers are connected to two bridging bromine atoms and two nitrogen atoms of different en ligands. The dimers are thus connected by the ligands into layers via μ-N,N’ coordination. In the 2:1 coordination polymer poly[(AgBr)2(μ2-en-N,N’)] (II) a three-dimensional AgBr substructure occur which consists of helical AgBr chains that are connected via peripheral Ag-Br contacts into a three-dimensional network that contains large channels. The en ligands are situated in these channels bridging the Ag atoms. From solution this compound cannot be obtained as a pure phase, since compound I is always formed as the major phase. On heating the 1:1 compound I in a thermobalance the sample mass decreases slowly and several mass steps are observed, which are not fully resolved. If the reaction is stopped at 230°C, pure AgBr has formed. At 115°C only traces of compound II are found. The major phase consists of an as yet unidentified ligand poor compound.

In this work, synthesis of the nanocrystalline Ce0.8Nd0.2O1.9Solid solution Powders by a nitrate-glycine gel-combustion process was investigated. The effects of glycine/metal ratio and calcination temperature on the powders phase structure, morphology and particle were investigated. TG-DSC curves and XRD peak of different glycine/metal ratio show that smaller particle size can be obtained with a slightly fuel-deficient ratio. XRD results indicate that the as-prepared powders are crystallinzed in a single fluorrite structure. The crystalline size ranges from 9 nm to 24 nm, which increases with the increase of calcination temperature. The SEM results imply some organic agent may be eliminated by high temperature calcination process.

Solid oxides are the most used catalyst for the synthesis of biodiesel, one of which is calcium oxide (CaO). This research reports the synthesis of CaO catalysts sourced from chicken eggshells through the calcination process. Chicken eggshells were cleaned and dried for 24 h at 120 oC. The eggshells were then calcined at temperatures varying from 600 oC to 900 oC for 6 h and the resulted sample were characterized by FTIR and XRD. The biodiesel synthesis was conducted at 65 ºC with a reaction time of 2 h and the concentration of catalyst was varied at 3 wt%, 6 wt%, and 9 wt%. The optimal biodiesel synthesis was obtained at a concentration of CaO catalyst formed at a calcination temperature of 900 ºC at 9 wt%. The yield of biodiesel conversion was obtained at 81.43 % and glycerol was produced as a by-product.

Through calcining bauxite, the preparation of active alumina (Al2O3) admixture was investigated. The effect of calcination temperature and time on the activity of alumina was studied. Calcination production species and crystalline state were determined by X-ray diffractometer, and the specific surface area referred as an important parameter was also determined. The results showed that the best calcination process of acquiring activated alumina admixture was 500°C1.0h. Alkali-aggregate reaction was inhibited effectively by the active alumina admixture.
