The essential identity of the framework structures of ZSM-8 and ZSM-5
1994
The crystal structures of TEA-ZSM-8 and its calcined template-free form have been studied by Rietveld analyses based on X-ray powder diffraction data. The results show that the aluminosilicate framework structure of ZSM-8 is essentially identical to that of ZSM-5. The tetraethylammonium molecule could be located in the difference Fourier analysis yielding positions similar to its TPA counterpart in ZSM-5. Lattice constants of ZSM-8 are in the same range as for ZSM-5. Contrary results are related to incorrectly indexed powder patterns. Optical investigations of ZSM-5 and ZSM-8 crystals showed that the zeolites studied here are both twinned exhibiting differently shaped twin individuals.
Thermal expansion of LiZr2(PO4)3: Water inclusion influence
1989
Abstract Lattice thermal expansion has been measured on three samples of composition LiZr 2 (PO 4 ) 3 , prepared by (i) a ceramic method, (ii) a gel-route and (iii) a nonstoichiometric ceramic. The first sample is monoclinic (?), with a transition at 50°C to rhombohedral. The second is clearly monoclinic with lattice parameters depending on the calcination temperature (700 to 1200°C. The third kind of synthesis yielded a new PO 4 -deficitary rhombohedral structure. X-ray diffraction measurements in a high temperature camera have been made from room temperature up to 1100°C. Lattice parameters, as well as their dependence on temperature are different for the three samples. While thermal expa…
Facile fabrication of flower like self-assembled mesoporous hierarchical microarchitectures of In(OH)3 and In2O3: In(OH)3 micro flowers with electron…
2016
Abstract A template and capping-reagent free facile fabrication method for mesoporous hierarchical microarchitectures of flower-like In(OH) 3 particles under benign hydrothermal conditions is reported. Calcination of In(OH) 3 to In 2 O 3 with the retention of morphology is also described. Both In(OH) 3 and In 2 O 3 microstructures were analyzed with SEM, EDX, TEM and powder X-ray diffraction. The crystal sizes for In(OH) 3 and In 2 O 3 were calculated using the Scherrer equation. In In(OH) 3 the thin flakes at the periphery of micro flowers were electron beam sensitive. The mechanism of self-assembly process was analyzed as well.
Selective oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane over MoVSbO mixed oxide catalysts
2006
Abstract Mo–V–Sb–O mixed metal oxides were prepared, characterized and tested for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (ODH). These catalysts are active and selective in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene, although their catalytic performance depends strongly on the calcination temperature. The best catalytic results were obtained on samples heat-treated at 600 °C in N 2 (with selectivities to ethylene higher than 80% at ethane conversions about 65%). Moreover, a loss in the catalyst activity is initially observed on these catalysts as a consequence of modifications in the nature of the crystalline phases. Changes on the oxidation state of antimony ions on the surface of…
Applications of conduction calorimetry to the setting reaction of zinc phosphate dental cement
1999
The kinetics of the exothermic setting reaction of zinc phosphate dental cement can be successfully investigated by conduction calorimetry. The primary objective of this study is to examine the effects arising from the addition of various additives to the liquid and calcination of cement powder. The rate of heat evolution versus time shows the occurrence of merely one maximum. In the case of unmodified orthophosphoric acid a sharp peak occurs early after onset of mixing due to the formation of crystalline α-hopeite. Commercial cement liquids contain aluminum and zinc. From the calorimetric curves it has been found that these cations act as a setting retarders, and ensure sufficient working …
Synthesis of self-assembled mesoporous 3D In2O3 hierarchical micro flowers composed of nanosheets and their electrochemical properties
2018
This report describes the methodology for the fabrication of mesoporous In2O3 microflowers by hydrothermal and calcination procedures in which In(OH)3/In2S3 acts as an intermediate. Both In2O3 and its precursor were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. BET surface area, pore size and pore volume analyses were also carried out. Electron microscopy images clearly evidence the self-assembly of 2D nanosheets into the micro flower structure. The mechanism of self-assembly and calcination is reported. Electrochemical properties of the synthesized In2O3 micro flowers were studied.

Hydrocracking ofn-heptane. Study of NiO-MoO3catalysts supported on a HY ultrastable zeolite
1986
The hydrocracking of n-heptane in the temperature range of 573 to 623 K and at 2.45 × 106 Pa pressure has been employed as a test reaction for the study of Ni—Mo bifunctional catalysts supported on a HY ultrastable zeolite. Two groups of catalysts containing 8 and 12 wt% of MoO3 and different amounts of NiO have been studied. In both series a maximum in the activity has been obtained for catalysts with a Ni/Mo atomic ratio of 0.8-1.0. The order of the impregnation of the oxides can have little influence on the activity. The most active catalyst has been obtained when the zeolite is exchanged with NH+4 ions until the Na+ level is less than 2% of the original and calcined at 823 K to obtain a…
Porous zirconia and titania as packing materials for high-performance liquid chromatography
1990
Abstract Porous amorphous zirconia (ZrO 2 ) and titania (TiO 2 ) packings were synthesized as rigid microparticulate beads by means of a sol—gel process. Sufficient rigidity and desired mesoporosity of the ZrO 2 and TiO 2 particles were achieved only by a gel hardening process, followed by heat treatment. The mean pore diameter, p d , the specific surface area, a s , and the specific pore volume, ν p , were controlled by the heat treatment. Typical values were p d = 8 nm, a s = 80 m 2 /g and ν p = 0.23 ml/g. ZrO 2 - and TiO 2 -based revesed-phase packings were prepared by subjecting the native materials to a specific activation process and reaction with octadecyltrimethoxysilane. Native ZrO…
Zn,Al hydrotalcites calcined at different temperatures: Preparation, characterization and photocatalytic activity in gas–solid regime
2011
Abstract Layered double hydroxides (LDH) containing zinc and aluminium within the brucite-like layers and carbonate as the interlayer anion have been used as precursors for the preparation of mixed metal oxides by calcination. Zinc oxide and the ZnAl 2 O 4 spinel were formed with different degree of crystallinity depending of two parameters, i.e., the Zn 2+ /Al 3+ molar ratio and the calcination temperature (500–800 °C) of the LDH precursor. A pure spinel phase was obtained to remove ZnO upon a basic post-treatment in NaOH solution of the samples calcined at 800 °C. All the samples were tested for the photodegradation of 2-propanol in gas–solid regime. All the samples resulted active as het…
