7 Even though an increasing number of pilot-scale plants are demonstrating the potential ef8 ficiency of the Ca-looping technology to capture CO2 at a commercial level, a still standing 9 matter of concern is the loss of carbonation reactivity of the regenerated CaO by calcination, 10 which is expected to be particularly marked at realistic conditions necessarily implying a high 11 CO2 partial ...

Zirconia-supported tungsten oxide (WO(x)/ZrO(2)) is considered an important supported metal oxide model acid catalyst, for which structure-property relationships have been studied for numerous acid-catalyzed reactions. The catalytic activity for xylene isomerization, alcohol dehydration, and aromatic acylation follows a volcano-shape dependence on tungsten surface density. However, WO(x)/ZrO(2)...

Crab's shells of Portunus pelagicus species were used as raw materials for synthesis of hydroxyapatite were used for protection against demineralization of teeth. Calcination was conducted to crab's shells of Portunus pelagicus at temperature of 1000°C for 5 hours. The results of calcination was reacted with (NH4)2HPO4, then dried at 110°C for 5 hours. Sintering was conducted to results of prec...

The objects of this investigation were the comparative kinetic analysis of the NiO and NiCl2 reduction by hydrogen during an induction period and elimination of the calcination during the synthesis of Ni/Al2O3 catalysts. The effect of temperature and time on NiO and NiCl2 reduction degrees was studied. Avrami I equation was selected as the most favorable kinetic model and used to determine acti...

This research introduces a completely new environmental benign synthesis route for obtaining two kinds of inter-mediate and high temperature CO2 sorbents, Mg-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) and Li4SiO4, from vermiculite. The mineral vermiculite was leached with acid, from which the obtained SiO2 was used for the synthesis of Li4SiO4 and the leaching waste water was used for the synthesis of M...

the mononuclear gd(iii) complex, [gd(l)3(h2o)5] (where l is alizarin yellow r (nac13h8n3o5)), has been prepared in h2o under reflux condition. the gd(iii) complex has been characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods (uv–vis and ft–ir). the gd2o3 nanoparticles were prepared by the calcination of the gd(iii) complex in air at different temperatures up to 600 °c for 2 h. the calc...

Zn0.9Co0.1O ceramic pigments were synthesized using simple high energy milling method. Zinc and cobalt oxides were used as starting materials. Products were investigated using simultaneous thermal analysis and fourier transformation infrared. Pigments were characterized using X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The results showed the effect of calcination te...

In the present study, calcination conditions during the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD). After that, the effect of the type of UV irradiation on the photocatalysis of methylene blue (MB) dye was studied based on the kinetic model obtained at optimum conditions. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) exhi...
