镧铈混合掺杂氧化钛纳米粉体晶型转变的研究

采用溶胶-凝胶法,在不同的热处理温度下制备了稀土镧铈掺杂的不同晶型的TiO2纳米粉体。用X射线衍射仪,透射电子显微镜对所制备的TiO2纳米粉体进行表征,分析在不同热处理温度下制备的TiO2纳米粉体的晶粒尺寸及晶相组成,研究热处理温度对晶型转变的影响。研究表明:与未掺杂的TiO2晶型转变温度650℃相比较,稀土镧铈混合掺杂大大的抑制了TiO2锐钛矿向金红石晶相的转变,且在800℃煅烧温度以下,平均晶粒在15nm之内;当达到晶相转变温度时,晶粒突增到49nm。     

微波辅助制备纳米MgO·ZnO复合粉体

用乙二醇为溶剂,以ZnSO_4·7H_2O、MgCl_2·6H_2O与Na_2CO_3为原料,采用微波加热直接沉淀法合成了锌与镁的复合碱式碳酸盐前驱体。将此前驱体在700℃煅烧,制得了纳米MgO·ZnO的复合粉体。分别对样品进行XRD、TG、TEM、IR、UV表征,结果表明:加热分解制备出的纳米MgO-ZnO复合粉体结晶性能良好,晶体形貌为球形,粒径大小为30～80nm,且具有纳米MgO和ZnO的双重特性。     

On the fluidization of cohesive powders: Differences and similarities between micro- and nano-sized particle gas–solid fluidization

The fluidization of cohesive powders has been extensively researched over the years. When looking at literature on the fluidization of cohesive particles, one will often find papers concerned with only micro- or only nano-sized powders. It is, however, unclear whether they should be treated differently at all. In this paper, we look at differences and similarities between cohesive powders across the size range of several nanometres to 10s of micrometres. Classification of fluidization behaviour based on particle size was found to be troublesome since cohesive powders form agglomerates and using the properties of these agglomerates introduces new problems. When looking at inter-particle forces, it is found that van der Waals forces dominate across the entire size range that is considered. Furthermore, when looking into agglomeration and modelling thereof, it was found that there is a fundamental difference between the size ranges in the way they agglomerate. Where the transition between the types of agglomeration is located is, however, unknown. Finally, how models are made and agglomerate sizes are measured is currently insufficient to accurately predict or measure their sizes consistently.
