The detailed preparation process of Eu2+ and Dy3+ ion co-doped phosphor powders in Sr4Al14O25:Eu2+/Dy3+ phosphor system with bluish-green long afterglow produced by solid state reaction method under reducing atmosphere is here reported. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and particle size analysis were made to assign the effects of Eu and Dy ions on the luminescent properties of the synthesized phosphors, which were determined by measuring the photoluminescence spectra. The maximum emission intensity of these phosphors under excitation was investigated. As a result, the relevant values were obtained from the phosphorescent pigment with 0.21% and 0.05% molar percent of Eu2+ and Dy3+.
Both manufacturers and customers in ceramic sector like all industrial branches always demand high quality products with less cost. With the increase in consumption levels of final products the considerable decreases in deposits of readily used raw materials take place all around the world. Therefore, economical and conscious usage of these deposits is crucial. Consequently, numerous numbers of searches for finding alternative raw materials and recycling wastes as a possible replacement have been conducted. In the present study concentrator wastes of Etibor Kirka Borax Company of Turkey with the chemical composition of 27.69 SiO 2 , 4.58 Al 2 O 3 , 7.52 Na 2 O, 2.77 K 2 O, 8.95 CaO, 12.45 MgO,14.28 B 2 O 3 , 0.04 ZnO, 0.07 TiO 2 , 0.96 Fe 2 O 3 , 0.04 Li 2 O, 0.02 PbO, 20.63 loss on ignition (in wt %) were incorporated into a soft porcelain opaque glaze recipe as a replacement of K-feldspar. Such a modification in starting glaze batches led to the improvement in opacity without deteriorating maturation and final properties. Therefore, it was concluded that these wastes could easily be added into the relevant glaze system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
