objective(s): so far, extensive research has been conducted on the preparation and characterization of nano ceramics based on ca-si by sol- gel method and bioactivity was evaluated, but, a few researches have paid attention to the preparation of materials by mechanical activation (ma). the aim of this study was the preparation of akermanite nano powder by mechanical activation method and bioact...

the effect of mechanical activation on structural changes and kinetics of carbothermic reduction of hematite with graphite was studied in this research. hematite powder mixture with graphite (with stoichiometry ratio c/o=1) was milled for the time periods of zero to 50 hours, and the structural changes were studied using x ray diffraction (xrd). the effect of mechanical activation on the kineti...

the effect of rare earth (re) elements, including ce and la, on the sorption properties of zr-co getters was investigated in this work. the phase evolution, microstructural characteristics of getter powders were studied by means of x-ray diffraction method, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (eds). the nanostructured zr3co intermetallic compound has been...

objective(s): hardystonite (ht) is zn-modified silicate bioceramics with promising results for bone tissue regeneration. however, ht possesses no obvious apatite formation. thus, in this study we incorporated sr and ti into ht to prepare sr-ti-hardystonite (sr-ti-ht) nanocomposite and evaluated its in vitro bioactivity with the purpose of developing a more bioactive bone substitute material. ma...

The effect of mechanical activation on the kinetics of ammoniacal thiosulfate leaching of a refractory oxide gold ore containing 2.8 ppm Au was investigated. The gold extraction of 99.81% was achieved by 16 h leaching of a sample mechanically activated for 60 minutes. The gold extraction observed for a similar reference sample without mechanical activation was only 55%. Studies revealed that le...

Isothermal redox kinetics of as-received Co3O4 (AC), 1 h ball milled Co3O4 (BC), and 1 h ball milled Co3O4-15wt.% Fe2O3 (BCF) was investigated at various temperatures (1130, 1100, 1070, and 1040 °C for reduction and 830, 860, and 890°C for re-oxidation) by thermogravimetric method. It was found that mechanic...

In this work, the effects of temperature, acid concentration, and mechanical activation on dissolution of ilmenite were studied using the statistical design of experiment technique. Mechanical activation was carried out using a planetary ball mill in dry mode, and the resulting structural changes were characterized by the particle size analysis, specific surface area measurements, and X-ray dif...
