Co and Zn ferrites with general formula CO 1-X Zn X Fe 2 O 4 (x = 0; 0,2 and 0,8) were synthesized by combustion reaction method, using urea as fuel. The structure of inverse-spinel-type ferrite were characterized through XRD using Rietveld refinement method to identify, quantify phases and determine lattice parameters. The crystallites had mean size of 37,33 nm, 43,66 nm and 51.88 nm with the increment of Zn 2+ , respectively. Samples were sintered in a resistive oven at 900 °C for 3 hours. Analysis by SEM indicated that the particles have irregular sizes and high concentration of open pores. The magnetic properties were measured using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), through which a decrease in the magnetization variation was observed as the non-magnetic Zn 2+ concentration increases. The permittivity and loss tangent were determined using vector network analyzer equipment, permittivity increases with the increase of zinc concentration and the tangent loss measurements were small for all ferrites synthesized in this work.
In this study, the effects of dopant concentrations on the structural and morphological characteristics of Zn 1-x Mn x O powders (x= 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, and 0.1 mole) synthesized by the Pechini method has been investigated. The powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) specific surface, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Spectroscopy with Fourier transform (FTIR). An XRD analysis of the powder showed the formation of ZnO phase with a typical single phase wurtzite structure. The EDX analysis revealed Mn incorporated in the ZnO structure. The particle size calculated by BET ranged from 24 to 63 nm, confirming the nanometric size of the powder particles. The SEM analysis revealed irregular shaped particle agglomerates and the presence of nanosheets. From FTIR it was confirmed the wurtzite structure in ZnO and ZnO nanoparticles doped with Mn.
A oxidação preferencial do CO (PROX) é o método mais adequado para a purificação de fluxos gasosos ricos em H2. Catalisadores de CuO/CeO2 têm sido desenvolvidos e apresentados na literatura como uma alternativa bastante promissora para a reação de oxidação preferencial do CO - PROX-CO. O objetivo deste trabalho é sintetizar catalisadores a base de CuO/CeO2 por meio do método de síntese Pechini, caracterizar e analisar as suas estruturas e avaliar a performance catalítica destes materiais aplicados na reação de PROX-CO. Foram desenvolvidas duas amostras de catalisadores a base CuO/CeO2, uma contendo 0,1 mol e outra contendo 0,5 mol de CuO. De acordo com os resultados, ambas as amostras sintetizadas mostraram-se aptas a serem utilizadas em processos de conversão de CO para CO2. No entanto, a amostra que continha 0,1 mol de CuO exibiu atividade catalítica mais expressiva do que a amostra que continha 0,5 mol da mesma espécie ativa.
Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS), which have both semiconducting and magnetic properties, are those in which transitions metal ions substitute cations of host semiconductor materials [1]. There is a great interest for DMS for use as the material of spintronics. In this study is reported the structural and morphologic characterization of Zn1.95Co0.05O nanoparticles obtained by Pechini method and combustion reaction. The powders resulting were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) for determination of the phases, crystalline phase and lattice parameter; nitrogen adsorption by BET for determination of the specific superficial area and calculation the particle size from the superficial area and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphologic analysis. The XRD results demonstrated the viability of obtaining crystalline and nanosize powders by the both synthesis routes. For all samples the average crystallite sizes was nanosized, but the powders obtained by reaction combustion is smaller. The SEM micrographs shows that the powders obtained for both syntheses are constituted of soft agglomerates.
This work deals with preparation and characterization of asymmetric ceramic membranes using the residue as a precursor of granite, for use in the treatment of effluents. For this, were prepared ceramic supports of alumina coated with a layer of residue of granite and sintered at temperatures of 800, 850 and 900° C for 1h for each temperature. The characterization of the membranes was accomplished through the technique of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), flow measurements with deionized water and analysis of rejection of indigo blue in a synthetic effluent. SEM images revealed that the membrane sintered at 900°C was completely covered with a uniform layer of residue. Flow analysis with deionized water showed that the calcined membrane at 800oC presented the largest flow. Rejection tests showed that the membranes were efficient in removing indigo blue from effluent.
