O aglomerado obtido a partir deste processo apresenta características que permitem que o mesmo possa ser transportado a longas distâncias e manuseado até a sua utilização na sinterização. As principais técnicas experimentais utilizadas neste estudo foram difração de raios-X, espectroscopia Raman, microscopia eletrônica de varredura e análise térmica. O aglomerado foi submetido à secagem em temperaturas entre 100°C e 550ºC e atmosferas constituídas de ar atmosférico e/ou CO2. Durante o processo de secagem, observou-se a influência da temperatura e da atmosfera sobre a resistência à compressão do aglomerado após exposição à água, assim como na morfologia do silicato de sódio, evidenciando uma dependência entre elas. O uso de CO2 durante a secagem mostrou-se eficiente para a formação de um aglomerado com maior resistência mecânica após exposição à água. Palavras-chave: Aglomerado de minério de ferro; Resistência mecânica; Silicato de sódio líquido.

Parisite-(La) occurs as residual nuclei (up to 5 mm) in steep doubly-terminated pseudo-hexagonal pyramidal crystals (up to 8.2 cm). Parisite-(La) is transparent, yellow-green to white, with a white streak and displays a vitreous (when yellow-green) to dull (when white) lustre. Cleavage is distinct on pseudo-{001}; fracture is laminated, conchoidal, or uneven. The Mohs hardness is 4 to 5, and it is brittle. Calculated density is 4.273 g cm−3. Parisite-(La) is pseudo-uniaxial (+), ω = 1.670(2) and ε = 1.782(5) (589 nm). The empirical formula normalized on the basis of 11 (O + F) atoms per formula unit (apfu) is Ca0.98(La0.83Nd0.51Ce0.37Pr0.16Sm...

Research paper thumbnail of Heterogeneous Fenton reactants: a study of the behavior of iron oxide nanoparticles obtained by the polymeric precursor method

The citric acid:Fe molar ratio was varied to obtain different synthesis conditions. The materials were treated at 450°C for 2 h to obtain nanoparticles, which were characterized by XRD, Mössbauer spectroscopy, FEG, CHNS, atomic absorption and surface area through N 2 physisorption. Rhodamine B photo degradation in the presence of these nanoparticles and hydrogen peroxide was carried out to analyze the possible behavior of nanoparticles as heterogeneous Fenton reactants. UV-visible spectroscopy revealed that the catalytic activity in the presence of nanoparticles obtained with a citric acid:Fe molar ratio of 12:1 was the condition that provided the best results in this work.

Research paper thumbnail of Low-temperature Mössbauer study of heterosite, (Fe, Mn)PO4

Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2013

The orthorhombic unit-cell parameters, expressed inÅ, were found as a = 9.733 (1), b = 5.837 (1) and c = 4.776 (1). The composition was determined to be (Fe 0.54 Mn 0.43 Mg 0.04)PO 4. Mössbauer spectra recorded at temperatures T of 65 K and higher consist of two broadened quadrupole doublets. Their isomer shifts ı are both diagnostic for the ferric state. The dominant doublet (∼60% of total area) exhibits an average quadrupole splitting E Q,av of 1.62 mm/s at room temperature, while the weaker broader doublet has E Q,av = 0.68 mm/s. For temperatures T ≤ 60 K the spectra are composed of a broad sextet and a central quadrupole doublet. The doublet persists down to the lowest applied temperature of 17 K. It is concluded that this doublet is due to an Fe-bearing phase other than heterosite and which gives rise to the inner doublet appearing in the spectra recorded at T ≥ 65 K. The broad sextets, attributable to the heterosite phase, were fitted with model-independent hyperfine-field distributions. However, it was consistently experienced that using the common Lorentzian-shaped elementary sextets composing the distribution, could not adequately reproduce the observed line shapes. Instead, the calculations had to be based on the diagonalization of the complete hyperfine-interaction Hamiltonian. This is due to the unusually strong quadrupole interaction. The as-such calculated hyperfine parameters of the heterosite phase at 17 K may be summarized as follows: maximum-probability hyperfine field B hf,m = 473 kOe, isomer shift ı Fe = 0.54 mm/s, average quadrupole coupling constant ½e 2 qQ = 1.50 mm/s, asymmetry parameter of the EFG Á = 0.80, and polar angles of the hyperfine field with respect to the EFGs principal axes frame˝= 40 • and « = 90 •. The temperature variation of the hyperfine field was interpreted in terms of the Bean-Rodbell (BR) model. The BR parameter, Á BR , was found to be 0.90, indicating a first-order magnetic transition at T N = 59.7 K. The temperature variation of the isomer shift is explained by the second-order Doppler shift ı SOD. Using the Debye model for the lattice vibrational spectrum for calculating ı SOD , the characteristic Mössbauer temperature M was found to be 400 K, which is unusually low for a ferric compound.

Mulita metaestável na faixa de 74 a 83,6% de Al2O3, entretanto, pode ser obtida. Devido às suas excelentes propriedades físicas e mecânicas a altas temperaturas, como alto ponto de fusão, baixa expansão térmica, boa resistência à fratura e ao choque térmico, alta resistência à fluência, estabilidade térmica, baixa densidade e baixa constante dielétrica, tem tido um uso cada vez maior em corpos cerâmicos. O mineral mulita, porém, é raro e quase inexistente na natureza. Para atender a um mercado crescente, mulitas sintéticas são produzidas, por meio de misturas de pós de Al2O3 e SiO2 em escala molecular, usando técnica sol-gel, ou por meio da calcinação de minerais que contenham sílica e alumina em suas estruturas, os chamados alumino-silicatos.
