Abstract:The high-purity FeCo particles with particle size ranging from 100 nm to 5 μm are fabricated using a direct chemical method. The controlled morphologies of the FeCo samples vary from nearly-spherical to urchin-like or cubic shape under optimal reaction conditions. Very slight surface oxidation is observed in these large-grain FeCo particles. It shows a low coercivity with 91 Oe for the nearly-spherical FeCo particles, while a much higher coercivity of 236 Oe is observed in the urchin-like samples, which can be… Show more

The FeCo@SiO2/holey reduced graphene oxide composite was successfully prepared by combining liquid-phase reduction reaction in argon atmosphere with high-temperature calcination. The FeCo@SiO2/holey reduced graphene oxide composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy analysis and exhibit excellent electromagnetic wave absorption properties. The maximum reflection loss of FeCo@SiO2/holey reduced graphene oxide composite reaches –46.28 dB at 16.16 GHz with the thickness of 1.5 mm and the absorption bandwidth with the reflection loss below –10 dB was up to 3.92 GHz (from 14.08 GHz to 18 GHz) with the thickness of 1.5 mm. The absorption bandwidth with RL below –10 dB is up to 12.64 GHz. It is believed that the FeCo@SiO2/holey reduced graphene oxide composite can serve as an excellent microwave absorber.

The effect of initial salt composition on the formation
of zero-valent
bimetallic FeCo was investigated in this work. Pure crystalline zero-valent
FeCo nanoparticles (NPs) were obtained using either chloride or nitrate
salts of both metals. Smaller NPs can be obtained using nitrate salts.
Comparing the features of the FeCo prepared at room temperature and
the solvothermal method revealed that both materials are almost identical.
However, the room-temperature method is simpler, quicker, and saves
energy. Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis of the FeCo NPs prepared
using nitrate salts at room temperature demonstrated the absence of
oxygen and the presence and uniform distribution of Fe and Co within
the structure with the atomic ratio very close to the initially planned
one. The particles were sphere-like with a mean particle size of 7
nm, saturation magnetization of 173.32 emu/g, and surface area of

2+
and reactive blue
5 (RB5) by FeCo in a single-component system was conformed to the
pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models, respectively. The
isotherm study confirmed the ability of FeCo for the simultaneous
removal of Cu
2+
and RB5 with more selectivity toward Cu
2+
. The RB5 has a synergistic effect on Cu
2+
removal,
while Cu
2+
has an antagonistic effect on RB5 removal.

With solvent extraction, a general problem is emulsification, which causes loss of extractant and contamination of electrolyte. In addition, both chemical precipitation and solvent extraction methods are not able to Abstract Background: High purity cobalt has many important applications, such as magnetic recording media, magnetic recording heads, optoelectronic devices, magnetic sensors, and integrated circuits, etc. To produce 5N or higher purity cobalt in an electro-refining process, one of the challenges is to effectively reduce the Fe content of aqueous cobalt salt solution before electrolysis. This paper describes thermodynamic and kinetic investigations of the Fe adsorption process of a new sulfonated monophosphonic resin with the trade mark Monophos. Methods: Five cobalt sulfate solutions of different Co concentrations were prepared. Fe ions were removed from the solutions by ion exchange method using Monophos resin. Chemical analysis was carried out using a Perkin Elmer ICP-OES. Results: The initial Fe concentrations of about 0.9-2.0 mg/L can be reduced to about 0.3-0.8 mg/L, which is equivalent to an Fe removal rate of 60-67%. The Langmuir isothermal adsorption model applies well to the Fe removal process. A second-order type based on McKay equation fits better with experimental data than other kinetic models. The kinetic curve can be divided into two sections. For t < 30 min, particle diffusion may act as the controlling step, whereas chemical reaction may control the Fe adsorption process in the section t > 30 min. Conclusions: Monophos resin is effective for the removal of trace Fe from cobalt sulfate solution. This ion exchange process obeys the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model and the McKay equation of second-order kinetics.
