Abstract
The objective of this work is an attempt to introduce into scientific practice the method of “mechanochemical recrystallization” in solid-phase systems with small additives of a liquid solvent. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a universal bipolar aprotic solvent, has been used as the additive. As an example, the mechanical activation of reaction AgNO3 + NH4I + z NH4NO3 (diluent) + yS + xDMSO = AgI + yS* + (z+1)NH4NO3 + xDMSO has been studied, where z ≈ 5, y ≈ 1, and x\( \ll \) 1 are molar fractions. The formation of sulfur (S*) and silver iodide (AgI) nanoparticles has been revealed, and/or S*/AgI nanocomposites with controlled contents of the components have been synthesized. The use of NH4NO3, which is a non-target product of the mechanosynthesis, as a diluent leads to the stabilization of nanoparticle sizes. The nanoparticles are formed in the medium of DMSO due to the conventional recrystallization (continuous process of dissolution–crystallization of sulfur) or the reactional recrystallization (process of dissolution of AgNO3 and NH4I followed by their interaction with the AgI crystallization) rather than the direct mechanical activation. The former and latter mechanisms are realized when obtaining S* and AgI, respectively. The target products (S*, AgI, and S*/AgI) are purified from water-soluble components (NH4NO3, DMSO) by washing in an ultrasonic bath. The proposed technical solution of the problem has been realized in planetary ball mills with different milling tools.
期刊介绍:
Colloid Journal (Kolloidnyi Zhurnal) is the only journal in Russia that publishes the results of research in the area of chemical science dealing with the disperse state of matter and surface phenomena in disperse systems. The journal covers experimental and theoretical works on a great variety of colloid and surface phenomena: the structure and properties of interfaces; adsorption phenomena and structure of adsorption layers of surfactants; capillary phenomena; wetting films; wetting and spreading; and detergency. The formation of colloid systems, their molecular-kinetic and optical properties, surface forces, interaction of colloidal particles, stabilization, and criteria of stability loss of different disperse systems (lyosols and aerosols, suspensions, emulsions, foams, and micellar systems) are also topics of the journal. Colloid Journal also includes the phenomena of electro- and diffusiophoresis, electro- and thermoosmosis, and capillary and reverse osmosis, i.e., phenomena dealing with the existence of diffusion layers of molecules and ions in the vicinity of the interface.
