Abstract Understanding the reactions taking place in hematite-oxalic acid system is important order to clean iron oxides from filters and remove mineral concentrates. Previous studies reported formation of an unwanted solid phase during this process. The objective current work, therefore, was visualize rationalize dissolution steps hematite–oxalic reaction by combining density functional theory...

In this article, we study the photoinduced electrochemiluminescence (PECL) of a luminol analog (L-012: 8-amino- 5‑chloro-2,3-dihydro-7-phenyl-pyrido[3,4-d]pyridazine-1,4‑dione) on n-type hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanorod arrays deposited by hydrothermal synthesis transparent conducting oxide. We report that material, when used as photoanode, triggers PECL at potential low -0.2 V vs Ag/AgCl and allows ...

This work deals with the effect of humic acid (HA) adsorption on the interfacial properties, the stability, and the rheology of aqueous iron oxide (hematite) suspensions. It is first of all demonstrated that HA effectively adsorbs onto hematite, mainly at acid pH. Since the charge of the HA chains is negative, it will be electrostatically attracted to the hematite surface below the point of zer...

In this paper, the effect of the morphological modification of aerosol particles with respect to heterogeneous ice nucleation is comprehensively investigated for laboratorygenerated hematite particles as a model substrate for atmospheric dust particles. The surface-area-scaled ice nucleation efficiencies of monodisperse cubic hematite particles and milled hematite particles were measured with a...

We report on a single-step coating process and the resulting colloidal stability of silica-coated spindle-type hematite nanoparticles (NPs) decorated with a layer of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) polyelectrolyte chains that are partially incorporated into the silica shell. The stability of PAA coated NPs as a function of pH and salt concentration in water was compared to bare hematite particles and ...

The solubility of andradite garnet was determined at 800 °C and 10 kbar in a solution of 10 mol% NaCl and 90 mol% H2O. Experiments were syntheses carried out with high-purity natural wollastonite, reagent hematite or natural specular hematite containing ~1 wt% TiO2, and fluid. All experiments were performed with Mn2O3-Mn3O4 or Fe2O3-Fe3O4 oxygen buffers in a piston-cylinder apparatus with NaCl ...

A facile and economic route has been presented for mass production of micro/nanostructured hematite microcrystals based on the wet chemical controllable method. The as-prepared samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The results showed that the product was mesoporous α -Fe2O3 and near...

The application of hematite in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been severely limited because of its poor cycling stability and rate performance. To solve this problem, hematite nanoparticles with oxygen vacancies have been rationally designed by a facile sol-gel method and a sequential carbon-thermic reduction process. Thanks to the existence of oxygen vacancies, the electrochemical performanc...
