Inherent structure of a molten salt

The effects of different molten salt composition on morphology and purity of ZrB2 powder obtained via direct molten salt reaction method

Zirconium Diboride (ZrB2) powder was synthesized at low temperature via a Direct Molten Salt Reaction (DMSR) method. The influence of different salt compositions including eutectic mixture of (KF-NaF), (KF-KCl) and (KCl-NaCl) on the morphology and purity of the reaction products was studied. The obtained samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD...

Low temperature synthesis of CaZrO3 nanoceramics from CaCl2–NaCl molten eutectic salt

CaZrO3 nanoceramics were successfully synthesized at 700 C using the molten salt method, and the effects of processing parameters, such as temperature, holding time, and amount of salt on the crystallization of CaZrO3 were investigated. CaCl2, Na2CO3, and nano-ZrO2 were used as starting materials. On heating, CaCl2–NaCl molten eutectic salt provided a liquid medium for the reaction of CaCO3 an...

COMPARISON OF MICROSTRUCTURE AND PHASE EVOLUTION OF YSZ NANOPARTICLES SYNTHESIZED BY CO-PRECIPITATION AND MOLTEN SALT METHODS

This study aimed to compare the phase changes and morphology of yttria-stabilized zirconium oxide powders (YSZ) synthesized by co-precipitation and molten salt methods. Ammonia precipitating agent was used for the synthesis of YSZ powder by co-precipitation method and a mixture of sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate salts was used as a molten salt in the molten salt method. Samples were ch...

Development of an Improved Sub-Molten Salt Method for Production of Potassium Titanate from Ilmenite under Industrial Conditions

LOW TEMPERATURE MOLTEN SALT SYNTHESIS OF NANO CRYSTALLINE MgAl2O4 POWDER

Abstract: composition of MgO and nano boehmite. The reactant and potassium chloride, as the reaction media, were fired at800-1000 °C at different dwell times (0.5-5 h) in the ambient atmosphere. After washing and filtration, the spinel nanopowder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) techniques. It was demonstrated tha...
