Box 663, 25000, Saltillo, Coahuila, México b Instituto Tecnológico de Saltillo V. Carranza Blvd. 2500, Saltillo, Coahuila, México Received 3 May 2007; accepted 8 June 2007 Available online 16 June 2007 Abstract This work reports the results of laboratory experiments conduced to follow the kinetics of strontium recovery into the Al–Mg alloy by metallothermic reduction of SrO. The reagent was incorporated to molten alloy by the use of submerged powders injection technique. The variables analyzed were the injection time, the melt temperature and the initial magnesium content. Magnesium is added to the melt to increase the reactivity and reduce the surface tension of the molten aluminum. It was possible to increase the strontium content from 0 to 5 wt.% after 60 min of treatment. The results were fitted to a general kinetic equation, which allowed it to obtain the kinetic parameters, i.e. order of reaction and activation energy of the process. As the main mechanism of the strontium recovery process is of diffusive type, the global process rate increases as the temperature and initial amount of the magnesium increased. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Woodley * ID Department of Chemistry, University College London, London WC1H 0AJ, UK; [email protected] (S.G.E.T.E.); [email protected] (T.L.); [email protected] (M.A.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 21 November 2017; Accepted: 7 February 2018; Published: 21 February 2018 Abstract: Knowing the possible structures of individual clusters in nanostructured materials is an important first step in their design. With previous structure prediction data for BaO nanoclusters as a basis, data mining techniques were used to investigate candidate structures for magnesium oxide, calcium oxide and strontium oxide clusters. The lowest-energy structures and analysis of some of their structural properties are presented here. Clusters that are predicted to be ideal targets for synthesis, based on being both the only thermally accessible minimum for their size, and a size that is thermally accessible with respect to neighbouring sizes, include global minima for: sizes n = 9, 15, 16, 18 and 24 for (MgO)n; sizes n = 8, 9, 12, 16, 18 and 24 for (CaO)n; the greatest number of sizes of (SrO)n clusters (n = 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18 and 24); and for (BaO)n sizes of n = 8, 10 and 16. Keywords: inorganic nanoclusters; global optimization; data mining; computational modelling; magnesium oxide; calcium oxide; strontium oxide; barium oxide 1. Introduction Structure determination of materials plays an important role in materials design because the properties of materials are inherently linked to their atomic and electronic structure.

Doctoral Dissertations. 258. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/258 Atomic Layer Deposition of Alkaline Earth Oxides: Process Optimization, Characterization, and Application Han Wang, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2013 Strontium Oxide (SrO) is of interest for the growth of epitaxial perovskite oxides on semiconductors where it acts as a buffer layer between the reactive semiconductor and metal oxide layers. Magnesium oxide (MgO) is widely used as the intervening tunnel barrier to enable efficient spin injection in the magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). Due to the strong basicity, MgO and SrO are chemically unstable once exposed to the air, and ex situ chemical and structural analysis tools may not reveal the true properties of MgO and SrO films. Moreover, ex situ optimization of atomic layer deposition (ALD) process parameters, such as saturation curves and deposition temperature windows, becomes a laborious task when multiple films of different thicknesses have to be deposited. Thus, in order to better understand and control ALD processes, in situ thin film analysis techniques are highly desirable. Spectroscopic ellipsometry is an all- optical, non-destructive method, and in situ real time spectroscopic ellipsometry (RTSE) provides a fast and simple way to acquire thickness and optical property data during ALD growth.

[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Biomaterial is defined as any substance which is fabricated to work with the biological system either for therapeutic or diagnostic application in medical field. Strontia nanopowder is synthesized by wet process. Strontia is obtained by the reaction of Strontium chloride hexahydrate and Potassium hydroxide pellets followed by dehydration and calcination. The obtained nanopowder is characterized by XRD and tested for anti- microbial activity. XRD helps to show the unit cell dimensions and is used for phase identification of crystalline materials. The prepared nanopowder size is determined using Scherrer equation. The Strontia synthesized is biocompatible, has anti- inflammatory, anti- microbial and osseointegration properties which can be used for making implants. Keywords: Anti- microbial activity, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Strontia nanopowder, X- ray diffraction. 1. INTRODUCTION The study of biomaterials is called biomaterial science or biomaterial engineering. It includes elements of medicine, biology, chemistry, tissue engineering and material science. It is available both naturally and can also be prepared by chemical synthesis. It must be biocompatible in order to replace the natural function of the body. It is widely employed in dental applications, medical applications and drug delivery.

  • Optical and Photocatalytic Studies of Zinc Strontium Oxide Nanocomposite for Technological Applications
    Optical and Photocatalytic Studies of Zinc Strontium Oxide Nanocomposite for Technological Applications C.R. Indulal1,a), R. Ravikumar1, R. Biju2, M. Akhil1, Kichu Suresh3 1Department of Physics, S.G. College, Kottarakara, Kerala, India 2Nanoscience Research laboratory, S.N. College, Kollam, Kerala, India 3Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada a)Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. Nanocomposite of Zinc Strontium Oxide (ZnSrO) has been synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method. Structural properties of the samples are studied using XRD technique. The optical bandgap analyses of the samples are carried out using UV-Visible spectroscopy. Photocatalytic degradation power of the nanocomposite is measured with congored and malachite green dyes. INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology is one of the important technologies, which play a vital role especially in the field of water purification. The nanostructures offer large surface to volume ratios. Recently the major water resources in India are contaminated by different organic dyes that are originated from various industries1-3. Such organic pollutants show toxic nature even in low concentrations and may be harmful to aquatic animals and human beings4. Several physical processes like coagulation, adsorption and flocculation can remove pollutants from the environment. But the prior process does not promote the degradation of organic dyes in water resources5-6. So the scientific community searches an efficient method for the degradation of organic dyes which results in the purification of polluted water. Photocatalysis can be considered as an effective method for the degradation of such organic dyes. In photocatalysis a semiconductor surface is activated in the presence of UV-light which generates free radicals from OH-adsorbed 7 species and such radicals degrade the contaminant molecules .
