The CuO/CeO2and CuO/PrO2-CeO2catalysts were prepared by the hydrothermal method, and characterized via XRD, SEM and N2adsorption-desorption techniques. The study shows that the BET surface area and pore volume of the CuO/PrO2-CeO2catalysts increase with the increase of praseodymium content. The CuO/CeO2catalyst presents higher catalytic activity in compare with the CuO/PrO2-CeO2catalysts although the addition of praseodymium promotes textural properties of the CuO/CeO2catalysts, and it proves that the interaction of CuO and CeO2has a crucial role in CO-PROX.

In this experiment, the porous calcium silicate hydrates (P-CSHs) were prepared via a hydrothermal method and then modified by polyethylene glycol (PEG). The modified P-CSHs combined with an internal recycle reactor could successfully recover the phosphorus from electroplating wastewater. The modified P-CSHs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). After compared with different samples, the modified P-CSHs-PEG2000 sample had larger specific surface area of 87.48 m2/g and higher pore volume of 0.33 cm3/g, indicating a high capacity for phosphorus recovery. In the process of phosphorus recovery, the pH value of solution was increased to 9.5, which would enhance the recovery efficiency of phosphorus. The dissolution rate of Ca2+ from P-CSH-PEG2000 was fast, which was favorable for phosphorus precipitation and phosphorus recovery. The effects of initial concentration of phosphorus, P-CSHs-PEG2000 dosage, and stirring speed on phosphorus recovery were analyzed, so the optimal operation conditions for phosphorus recovery were obtained. The deposition was analyzed by XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, and SEM techniques; it was indicated that the pore volume and surface area of the P-CSHs-PEG2000 were significantly reduced, and the deposition on the surface of P-CSHs-PEG2000 was hydroxyapatite.

The objective of this work is to utilize a low-grade synthetic rutile to produce high-grade titania nanoparticles. Due to the nature of the precursor, the hydrothermal method needs modification in order to accommodate the precursors and chemical reagents. The product will be characterized with the XRD (crystallite size and crystallinity), EDXRF (chemical composition), SEM (Morphology), N2 adsorption-desorption (Surface Area) and UV-Vis-NIR. Results revealed a crystallite size of less than 20 nm, a surface area of 186.8 m2/g, a morphology that is a combination of agglomeration and particles, and an optical band gap of 3.23 eV. It is concluded that synthetic rutile is a viable precursor to produce high quality titania nanoparticles.

The micro-mesopores flowerlike ?-Al2O3 nano-architectures have been synthesized by thermal decomposition method using the synthesized AlOOH (boehmite) as precursor. After calcination at 500?C for 5 h, the obtained flowerlike ?-Al2O3 has similar structure like the AlOOH precursor. X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR, TG, FESEM and TEM techniques were used to characterize morphology and structure of the synthesized samples. The specific surface area (BET), pore volume and pore-size distribution of the products were determined by N2 adsorption-desorption measurements. The flowerlike ?-Al2O3 showed BET high specific surface area 148 m2 g-1 with total pore volume 0.59 cm3 g-1.

The effect on the physicochemical properties of aluminum salts on the synthesis of γ-AlOOH nanostructures has been investigated in detail using a hydrolysis-precipitation method. X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), were used to characterize the synthesized samples. The specific surface area, pore size distribution and pore diameter of the different γ-AlOOH structures were discussed by the N2 adsorption-desorption analysis. According to the results of the nanostructure, characterization revealed that for synthesized γ-AlOOH nanostructures from AlCl3 and Al(NO3)3, obvious XRD peaks corresponding to the bayerite phase are found indicating an impure γ-AlOOH phase. Furthermore, the nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis indicated that the obtained γ-AlOOH nanoparticles from Al2(SO4)3 of technical grade (95.0 % of purity) and low cost, possess a high BET surface area of approximately 350 m2/g, compared to the obtained nanostructures from aluminum sources reactive grade, which was attributed to the presence of Mg (0.9 wt.%) in its nanostructure.

Abstract The present study compared the effect of different gaseous environments on physicochemical properties and subsequent hydrogen storage ability of thermally exfoliated graphene oxide (EGO). The reducing, inert or oxidizing environments were generated using hydrogen, argon or air as the carrier gas, respectively. The structure of thermally exfoliated graphene oxide depended on the type of gaseous environment. The EGO prepared in presence of Air showed the fluffiest layered structure having highest surface area. The surface area order was EGO(Air) (268 m2/g) > EGO(H2) (248 m2/g) > EGO(Ar) (155 m2/g). The average pore sizes of EGO(Air) and EGO(H2) were 2.9 and 2.8 nm, with pore volumes of 1.2 and 1.6 cm3/g, respectively. The average pore size for EGO(Ar) was highest at 4.1 nm, associated with presence of larger void space and lowest total pore volume of 1.0 cm3/g. Thus, presence of oxidative or reducing atmosphere seemed to be more conducive to exfoliation of layers by gradual removal of functional groups. The inert atmosphere of argon caused severe thermal separation of layers and functional groups, adversely affecting the layered structure as observed. The EGO(Air) also showed highest O/C ratio suggesting presence of significant amount of oxygen–containing functional groups on the surface. The hydrogen uptake order at 77 K and 30 bar was: EGO (Air) 3.34 wt.% > EGO (H2) 3.12 wt.% > EGO (Ar) 2.2 wt.%. The highest uptake of EGO(Air) might have resulted from highest surface area, highest O/C ratio and presence of considerable pore volume.

Prrenjas clay mineral is found in southeast Albania and has a high content on bentonite. Theinfluence of the sulphuric acid activation on the composition, structure and surface properties ofPrrenjas clay mineral is investigated in this study by means of elemental chemical analysis, X-RayDiffractometry, IR Spectroscopy and gas adsorption-desorption measurement. H2SO4concentrations of 0.143 M, 0.232 M, 0.371 M, 0.537 M, 0.734 M, 0.927 M and 1.456 M were used inthe treatment of samples. The treatment by increasing the acid concentration brings the leaching ofAl3+, Fe2+, Mg2+ from the clay structure. The specific surface area and the pore volume of the claysamples increases respectively from 83 m2/g and 0.069 cm3/g for the untreated clay to 420 m2/g and0.384 cm3/g for the clay mineral treated with 1.456 M H2SO4 solution. New mesopores were createdduring the acid activation mainly in the range of 2 – 8 nm. For the samples treated with 0.927 Mand 1.456 M solutions the increase in specific surface area and pore volume is very high. Thecationic exchange capacity decreases steadily with the concentration of H2SO4 used for thetreatment.
