Degradation Of Methyl Orange

TiO2-diatomite composites were prepared using a two–stage ball-milling technique and they were subsequently characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and FTIR, showing that nanotitania had been successfully supported on the surface of diatomite. The as-prepared TiO2–diatomite composites were used to decompose methyl orange (MO). Good degradation efficiency was observed. The effects of milling conditions, such as milling time of diatomite suspension, the diatomite particle concentration in suspension, weight ratio of ball-to-powder, milling time of the mixed TiO2-diatomite suspension and dosage of titania, on photocatalytic degradation performance were systematically examined for the sake of achieving the best efficiency.

Fe-N amorphous alloy and ε- FexN alloy were prepared by mechanical ball milling with Fe and solid hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as nitrogen resource. The microstructural and magnetic transforming rules of different volume ratios of mixtures of Fe and h-BN (1:12.5, 1:5.4, 1:1.2, and 1:0.38) was studied under different ball-to-powder weight ratios. phase transition and magnetism were characterized with X-ray diffraction and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). According to the results, samples of the first three volume ratios have similar phase transition rules in different ball-to-powder weight ratios, and the sample with smaller ball-to-powder weight ratio costs more time in alloy formation. The changing rules and mechanisms of coercivity of four ratio samples with the extension of ball milling time has been clarified.

Hydroxyapatite Phase

Hydroxyapatite was synthesized using calcium originated from waste eggshell that was reacted with phosphate obtained from diammonium hydrogen orthophosphate by ball milling technique. The samples were mixed at different time from 5 to 150 min. The structure, function group and morphology of hydroxyapatite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The result showed that the hydroxyapatite phase was appeared after ball milling about 5 min and confirmed with FTIR results. The FE-SEM of hydroxyapatite powder was spherical shape and agglomerate. The crystallinity of hydroxyapatite was increased with increasing ball milling time. This experiment showed that the nano hydroxyapatite could synthesized from waste eggshell by ball milling technique.

Mixing of nano-sized powders with soils (macro-sized powders) is a noteworthy issue for geotechnical projects. Thus, this study examined the horizontal ball mill mixing of nano-copper oxide with kaolinite. Ball milling parameters (rotation speed, weight ratio of balls to powder and milling time) of the planetary ball milling were optimized for proper mixing of nano-copper oxide and kaolinite powder. Results showed that increase in mixing time decreased the agglomeration of nano-copper powders and kaolinite and increased the homogeneity of nano-copper powder with kaolinite particles. The quality of mixing was assessed through intensity and scale of segregation using concentration data obtained through energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. It was observed through these two tests that, increase in ball milling time after 6 hours resulted in grain size reduction. Field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that nano-coppers were regularly found on the surface of kaolinite particles after 6 hrs. of horizontal milling at 4:1 ratio of balls to powder mixture. Furthermore, 24 hrs. mixing resulted in grinding of kaolinite particles and hence their size was reduced. Particle size analysis confirmed these results, as the highest size span value of 3.417 was observed after 6 hrs. milling with speed of 200 rpm.

AbstractThe xZnO-(1-x)alpha-Fe2O3 and xZrO2-(1-x)alpha-Fe2O3 nanoparticles systems have been obtained by mechanochemical activation for x=0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 and for ball milling times ranging from 2 to 24 hours. Structural and magnetic characteristics of the zinc and zirconium-doped hematite systems were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Mössbauer spectroscopy and conductivity measurements. Using the dual absorber method, the recoilless fraction was derived as function of ball milling time for each value of the molar concentration involved. As ZnO is not soluble in hematite in the bulk form, the present study clearly illustrates that the solubility limits of an immiscible system can be extended beyond the limits in the solid state by mechanochemical activation. Moreover, this synthetic route allowed us to reach nanometric particle dimensions, which makes these materials very important for gas sensing applications.

The synthesis and structural properties of lead-free piezoelectric (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3powders prepared by mechanochemical method using Nb2O5, K2CO3, and Na2CO3as starting materials were reported. X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the prepared samples. Results showed that, for the first time, by selecting the milling speed of 600 rpm and the ball-to-powder weight ratio of 35 : 1 as milling parameters, pure (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3crystalline phase was obtained directly in the as-milled samples after 5 h of milling time. The existence of a carbonato complex betweenCO32−and Nb5+ions as an intermediate species of the formation of (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3was also found.

Degradation Of Methyl Orange

Ti3C2/TiO2/CuO nanocomposites were synthesized via the decomposition of a mixture of Ti3C2 (a novel two-dimensional carbide) and cupric nitrate under an argon atmosphere. The morphology and structures of the obtained samples were characterized. X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectrometer analysis indicate that the sample is composed of Ti3C2, anatase-TiO2, and CuO. Scanning electron microscopy images show that CuO and TiO2 nanoparticles were evenly distributed on the surface of Ti3C2. The particles size increased with an increase in the cupric nitrate content. Photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange shows that the Ti3C2/TiO2/CuO nanocomposite has good photocatalytic degradation efficiency. A possible photocatalytic mechanism of the Ti3C2/TiO2/CuO nanocomposites was proposed. The data indicated that CuO and Ti3C2 effectively promote the separation of photoelectrons from vacancies.

The paper has described the formation of nanocrystalline Mn80Bi20powders by mechanical alloying and studied the changes of structure and magnetic properties of the powders during the process of ball milling by using X-ray diffraction and saturation magnetization σsmeasurements. The solid solubility of bismuth in manganese increases with milling time and tends to a stable value after 80h milling. The σsof Mn80Bi20increases abruptly with milling time at the early stage and begins to decrease after 15h. At the time of 15h, the σsreaches a maximum, which is about 7Am2/kg. The result shows an interesting information that the antiferromagnetic Mn and the diamagnetic Bi produce ferromagnetic Mn80Bi20in process of mechanical alloying.

Fe-Ni-Cr alloy powders with the different components were prepared by Mechanical Alloying (MA). The phase structure, grain size, micro-strain and lattice distortion were determined with X-ray diffraction. The morphology and particle size of the powders were observed and analyzed using a field emission scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the Fe-Ni-Cr nanocrystalline powders could be obtained by MA. The ball milling time could be reduced with increasing amount of Cr, resulting the formation of Fe-Ni-Cr powders. With the increasing amount of Cr, the speed of Ni diffusion to Fe lattice approaching saturation became more rapid. The particle size got smaller as the ball milling went further; the extent of micro-strain and distortion of lattice intensified; the solid solubility of Ni and Cr in Fe was increased. Finally the super-saturated solid solution of Fe was obtained.
