Microwave-assisted solid-state reactions (MSSR) are investigated for their ability to synthesize nanocrystalline BaTiO3 powders at low temperatures. Ba(OH)2·H2O and TiO2·xH2O are, respectively, initial precursors for Ba and Ti. In this study, these precursors were mixed according to their chemical stoichiometry and heated in a temperature range of ...

AbstractThermal degradation of vegetable-tanned leather fiber (VLF) was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis aiming to know the exact kinetics and degradation mechanism. The thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermogravimetric (DTG) curves showed that decomposition of the VLF occurs mainly in the range of 150–600 °C, and the latter exhib...

The influence of Tb3+ and Eu3+ ions on the optical behavior and TL kinetics of the synthesized phosphors were analyzed here. The AZrO3 (A = Ca, Ba, Sr) phosphors activated with Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions were prepared using solid state reaction technique. The doping concentration of Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions is varied from 0 to 2 mol% for each. The PXRD analysis ...

Coal-series kaolin is the product of seam deposition in coal-accumulating basin, and may always contain reducing substances. The reducing substances such as carbon matter and pyrite could cause relatively high chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the raw kaolin, resulting in low quality kaolin products. In this study, narrow range classification and cal...

The Copper thioglycolate (Cu-TG) functionalized poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) was successfully prepared using the newly synthesized Cu-TG initiator by ring opening polymerization (ROP) technique. The structure of the prepared polymer was confirmed with the help of reliable analytical techniques like FTIR and NMR. The particle size and surface morpholo...

In these studies we report the catalytic proficiency of two Eu and Pr doped CeO2 nanoparticles on the thermal behaviour of powder AP and CSPs samples. A co-precipitation method was used for synthesizing Eu and Pr doped CeO2 nanoparticles and they were characterized by XRD, FTIR, and SEM with EDX. The catalytic proficiency of both Eu and Pr doped Ce...

The electrochemical behavior of MgCl2 was investigated in ternary NaCl-KCl-CaCl2 molten chloride mixtures, using inert tungsten and steel electrodes in the temperature range from 973 to 1053 K. Electrochemical methods like square wave voltammetry (SWV), cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA), and chronopotentiometry (CP) were applied to in...
