ABSTRACTSolid sols of silver in poly(methylmethacrylate), Ag/PMMA, were prepared by bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylaite (MMA) with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator in the presence of silver(I) trifluoroacetate. Ag/PMMAs were characterized by visible spectroscopy. Effects of the concentration of initiator, the concentration of silver (I) complex and the heat-treatment time on the formation of silver cluster were studied in detail.

ABSTRACTSolid sol of silver in poly(methyl methacrylate), Ag/PMMA, was prepared by bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate solution of silver (I) triflluoroacetate (AgTfa) and followed by postheating. The formation of the metallic Ag nanocluster was characterized by visible spectroscopy, and effects of the concentrations of AIBN and AgTfa and the heat-treatment duration on the formation of Ag cluster were investigated. Furthermore, based on the kinetic study of MMA in the presence of AgTfa, possible mechanism for the reduction and agglomeration of silver is proposed.

Manganese bismuth alloy has gained importance due to its rare earth free elements, positive temperature coefficient and unique magnetic properties. Low temperature phase (LTP) MnBi was successfully prepared by arc melting with subsequent heat treatments and melt spinning technique followed by heat treatment for different durations. LTP MnBi formation was confirmed using XRD analysis and microstructural characterization of the samples was done using field emission scanning electron microscope. MnBi with greater LTP amount was formed by melt spinning route when compared with its counter arc melted one. Magnetic energy density of LTP MnBi formed by melt spinning technique with different heat treatment time was studied.

Spent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries contain abundant strategic lithium resources and are thus considered attractive secondary lithium sources. However, these batteries may contaminate the environment because they contain hazardous materials. In this work, a novel process involving low-temperature heat treatment is used as an alternative pretreatment method for recycling spent LFP batteries. When the temperature reaches 300°C, the dissociation effect of the anode material gradually improves with heat treatment time. At the heat treatment time of 120 minutes, an electrode material can be dissociated. The extension of heat treatment time has a minimal effect on quality loss. The physicochemical changes in thermally treated solid cathode and anode materials are examined through scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The heat treatment results in the complete separation of the materials from aluminium foil without contamination. The change in heat treatment temperature has a small effect on the quality of LFP material shedding. When the heat treatment temperature reaches 300°C and the time reaches 120 minutes, heat treatment time increases, and the yield of each particle size is stable and basically unchanged. The method can be scaled up and may reduce environmental pollution due to waste LFP batteries.

A study on the effect of heat treatment condition on the characteristics of MnO2 added-Fe2TiO5 ceramics for NTC thermistor has been carried out. The ceramics were produced by pressing an homogenous mixture of Fe2O3 (local/ yarosite), TiO2 and MnO2 (2.0 mole %) powders in appropriate proportions to produce Fe2TiO5 based ceramics and sintering the pressed powder at 1050 °C for 3 hours in oxygen gas. Some sintered pellets were heat treated by heating them at 300 °C for 5, 15 and 25 minutes in Ar + 7% H2 gas. The XRD analyses showed that the Fe2TiO5 ceramics with and without heat treatment time had orthorhombic structure. No peak from second phase was observed from the XRD profiles. From the electrical characteristics data, it was known that the heat treatment could change the electrical characteristics of the Fe2TiO5 based-thermistor. The thermistor constant (B) and room temperature resistivity (ρRT) decreased with the increasing of heat treatment time. All ceramics made had thermistor characteristics namely B = 3459-7596 K and ρRT = 1.056-6936.062 MΩcm. Thermistor constant of the ceramics was relatively big, indicated that ceramics made from local iron oxide in this work fit the market requirement for NTC thermistor.

The effect of heat treatment on the reactivity and crystallinity of char prepared from the vitrinite of two coals (YX, JJ) was investigated by using XRD and TGA in this paper. The results from TGA show that the reactivity of the chars from YXV and JJV decreases with the increase of heat treatment temperature. The reactivity of YXV char decreases quickly and significantly as heat treatment time increases. However, after heat treatment time of 60 min, it decreases slowly. The effect of heat treatment time on the reactivity of JJV char is small. The results from XRD show that the crystallinity of coal-char is determined by the intensity of heat treatment. When heat treatment time is more than 60 minutes, the turbostratic crystallite of YXV char prepared under 900°C changes remarkably and becomes more orderly. The aromatic layer stacking heights (Lc) of YXV Char when heat treated above 900°C increased with the increase of heat treatment time. The effect of heat treat time on Lc of JJV char is small, but under heat treatment temperature of 1200°C, the crystalline of JJV char grows distinctly. There is a good parallel relationship between the crystalline growth and deactivation of the chars. It can be concluded that the growth of the crystalline is the main reason for the deactivation of coal-char.
