A study was carried out on the synthesis of Mg-Ni compounds as well as on the extraction of pure Ni and Mg from their oxides using the method of electro-deoxidation. The oxides sintered at 1200 degrees C were in the form of discrete phases NiO and MgO, suitably proportioned to yield Ni, MgNi2, Mg2Ni and Mg. The oxides were electrolyzed at 3.2 V in a eutectic mixture of CaCl2-NaCl solution maintained at a constant temperature (900-600 degrees C), using a graphite anode. The study has shown that NiO rich mixture, MgO:NiO = 1:2, can be reduced successfully to metallic state. Some loss of Mg was apparent in the latter, with the result that the product was far from the target composition MgNi2. The electroreduction of MgO rich mixtures was difficult to achieve. The mixture MgO:NiO = 2:1 when electrolyzed at 725 degrees C for 24 h, could be reduced to metallic phases only in small proportions (18 wt.%). In pure MgO. no trace of reduction was observed during the electrolysis at 600 degrees C. Difficulties in the electroreduction of MgO and MgO rich mixtures were partially attributed to low conductivity of MgO.

Synthesis of FeTi from mixed oxide precursors Tan, Serdar; Oers, Taylan; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Öztürk, Tayfur; Karakaya, İshak (2009-05-05) A study was carried out on the synthesis of FeTi intermetallics from mixed oxide precursors using the method of electro-deoxidation. Fe2O3 and TiO2 mixed in molar proportions of 1:2 were sintered at temperatures ranging from 900 degrees C to 1300 degrees C. The sintered pellet of mixed oxides, connected as cathode, was then electrolyzed in a molten CaCl2 at 900 degrees C using a graphite anode at a potential of 3.2 V. The electrolysis yielded the target composition FeTi in substantial amounts only when the ...
Direct synthesis of hydrogen storage alloys from their oxides Tan, Serdar; Öztürk, Tayfur; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2011) The aim of this study is the synthesis of hydrogen storage compounds by electrodeoxidation technique which offers an inexpensive and rapid route to synthesize compounds from oxide mixtures. Within the scope of this study, two hydrogen storage compounds, FeTi and Mg2Ni, are aimed to be produced by this technique. In the first part, effect of sintering conditions on synthesis of FeTi was studied. For this purpose, oxide pellets made out of Fe2O3-TiO2 powders were sintered at temperatures between 900 °C – 1300...
Dynamic and steady state analysis of low temperature ethane oxidative dehydrogenation over chromia and chromia-vanadia catalysts Karamullaoglu, Gulsun; Doğu, Timur (2007-11-02) Oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene was investigated over Chromia and Cr-V mixed oxide catalysts synthesized following a complexation procedure. With an O-2/C2H6 feed ratio of 0.17, Chromia exhibited a total conversion value of about 0.20 at 447 degrees C (at a space time of 0.24 s.g/mL) with an ethylene selectivity of 0.82. Chromia catalyst was more active than Cr-V mixed oxide at temperatures as low as 200 degrees C. Pulse-response experiments carried out with ethane pulses injected into O-2-H...
Breakthrough analysis of H2S removal on Cu-V-Mo, Cu-V, and Cu-Mo mixed oxides Yasyerli, S; Dogu, G; Ar, I; Doğu, Timur (2003-05-01) Kinetic studies carried out for the sorption of H2S in the presence and absence of hydrogen on Cu-V-Mo, Cu-V, and Cu-Mo mixed oxides gave detailed information about the reaction sequences. Formation of SO2 even in the presence of hydrogen at the initial stages of the sorption process showed the partial reduction of the metal oxides prior to the sulfidation step. A sorption experiment carried out with Cu-Mo mixed oxide gave incomplete sulfidation of molybdenum, whereas with Cu-V mixed oxide complete sulfidat...
Direct hydrothermal synthesis of palladium-incorporated silicate-structured mesoporous catalysts Sener, Canan; Doğu, Timur; Dogu, Guelsen (2007-01-01) Pd-Si-structured novel mesoporous nanocomposite catalytic materials, having quite high Pd/Si ratios, were synthesized by an acidic direct hydrothermal synthesis route. The nanocomposite catalytic materials were then characterized by XRD, XPS, EDS, nitrogen adsorption, and SEM techniques. Unlike MCM-41, the XRD patterns indicated a rather wide d((100)) band at a 2 theta value of about 1.9. The materials, with very high Pd/Si wt ratios between 1.43 and 2.66, were synthesized and had BJH surface area values be...
