Abstract
Microwave-emulsion method has been explored for synthesis of spherical oxide particles with combination of rapid and selective heating by microwave and spherical shape control by emulsion method. The CeO2-ZrO2 solid solution particles were prepared by heating of W/O emulsions under microwave irradiation followed by calcination. Oil phase was n-hexane including tetraglycerin condensed ricinolate and polysorbate 80 as emulsifier, and water phase included (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6 and ZrOCl2 as metal source and (NH4)2C4H4O6 as hydrolysis agent. As-produced powder exhibited cubic phase at Ce/Zr ≥ 5/5 and amorphous phase at Ce/Zr ≤ 3/7. After calcination, the lattice constant of cubic CeO2 decreased and tetragonal and monoclinic phases of ZrO2 appeared at large Zr content. Pure CeO2 was agglomerates of fine particles and spherical particles with a size of 0.5–1 μm were obtained by addition of ZrO2, indicating that the spherical particles were the mixture of crystalline CeO2 and amorphous ZrO2. The oxygen storage capacity increased with rising calcination temperature due to the formation of solid solution but decreased at high temperature due to decrease in surface area.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
