Present work describes the formation of α-Fe2O3@SiO2 core shell structure by systematic layer by layer deposition of silica shell on core iron oxide nanoparticles prepared via various solvents. Sol-gel method has been used to synthesize magnetic core and the dielectric shell. The average crystallite size of iron oxide nanoparticles was calculated ∼20 nm by X-ray diffraction pattern. Morphologic...

Fluorination of magnetite (Fe3O4) by NH4HF2 was investigated using simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), observing the morphology phase changes scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) diffractometry (XRD). The results indicate that fluorination involvement oxygen begins at room temperature, peaks 1784ºC, is completed 2...

Fe2O3/ZSM-5 modified with Ce via citrate route (sol-gel approach) is applied for H2S removal in 500–700 ◦C temperature range. The sulfidation activity of Fe2O3/ZSM-5 is appreciably promoted by introduction of Ce plausibly attributed to the synergy of Fe2O3 and CeO2. 5Fe5Ce/ZSM-5 performs the optimal desulfurization behavior at 600 ◦C with sulfur capacity of 1020 μmol S/g, and the sulfidation pr...

This study examined the effects of cocaine HCl and ambient temperature on the core body temperature of the rat. To further examine the mechanisms of cocaine-induced changes in temperature regulation, the effects of cocaine on behavioral thermoregulatory responses were also observed. At normal room temperature (20 degrees C) cocaine produced a reduction in core body temperature. At a higher ambi...
