The effects of CaCO3 and CaO on the carbothermic formation of h-BN were investigated by subjecting plain, CaCO3-added and CaO-added B2O3-activated C mixtures to N-2 gas at 1500 degrees C. Both additions were found to result in the formation of more BN with larger particle sizes in a given time. It was shown that BN forms in the absence of carbon in CaO-B2O3 melts but not in a plain B2O3 melt subjected to N-2 by a mechanism involving nitrogen dissolution in and formation of BN from the melt. This mechanism, in addition to the reaction of B2O3 with C and N-2, results in more BN formation in CaCO3-added and CaO-added B2O3-activated C mixtures subjected to N-2. BN particles were also found to grow in carbon-free CaO-B2O3 melts not only in the presence of N-2 when additional BN forms but also in the absence of N-2 (under Ar) when no additional BN forms.

The Effects of Co-Mo/CaCO3 Catalyst's Calcination Temperature and Co/Mo Weight Ratio on Carbon Nanotube Production
Hocaoglu, Caner; Sezgi, Naime Aslı (2015-01-01)
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized in the temperature range of 500-700 degrees C over cobalt (Co)- and molybdenum (Mo)impregnated CaCO3 catalysts using acetylene gas. The effects of Co-Mo/CaCO3 catalyst's calcination temperature and Co/Mo weight ratio on the carbon deposition rate were investigated. The synthesized CNTs were multiwalled nanotubes with variable outer diameters. They exhibited Type II isotherm, and their surface areas were in the range of 24.8-89.9m(2)/g. It was concluded that the Co/Mo...
THE IMPACT OF TOPOGRAPHY ON ISOTOPES IN PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE CENTRAL ANATOLIAN PLATEAU (TURKEY)
Schemmel, Fabian; Mikes, Tamas; Rojay, Fuat Bora; Mulch, Andreas (American Journal of Science (AJS), 2013-02-01)
Paleoelevation reconstructions of mountain belts and orogenic plateaus based on stable isotope climate and precipitation records benefit greatly from present-day calibrations that relate the fractionation of hydrogen (delta D) and oxygen (delta O-18) isotopes in precipitation to orographic rainfall. Here, we establish a first-order template of delta D and delta O-18 of modern meteoric waters across the Central Anatolian Plateau (CAP) and its bordering Pontic and Taurus Mountains. We identify key regions in ...
The effect of soluble boron on the burnup at different enrichments and assemblies
Gündüz, Güngör; Ajwah, Yousef (Elsevier BV, 1989-5)
The effect of boron on the optimum burnup was investigated at different assemblies for enriched fuels. As the enrichment increases, an alteration in the assembly type is needed for the optimum specific power. This alteration can be made at lower enrichments due to the presence of boron. The optimum specific power is shifted toward the high enrichment fuels when the assembly number is increased. If a fuel of high enrichment is first burnt in a highly hardened neutron spectrum and later in a softer spectrum t...
THE EFFECT OF A 3RD COMPONENT IMPURITY-C ON THE HEAT-CAPACITY OF A3B-TYPE ORDERED ALLOYS
Mehrabov, Amdulla; MATYSINA, ZA (Wiley, 1989-12-01)
For the first time theoretical (in terms of the classical theory of ordering) and experimental (with the adiabatic calorimeter method) investigations are made of the effect of a third component impurity C on the heat capacity of A3B‐type ordered alloys with FCC structure. The effect of the impurities Mn, Cr, Mo, or W on the heat capacity of Ni3Fe alloys is analysed as an example. The comparison of the theoretical results with the experimental data shows good qualitative agreement.
The Role of precious metal nanoparticles on the oxygen exchange kinetics from ceria
Kaya, Deniz; Üner, Deniz; Kıncal, Serkan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2016)
The oxygen exchange kinetics of precious metal added ceria and ceria-alumina oxides were investigated by temperature programmed analyses and microcalorimetric measurements. 1 wt. % Pd/CeO2 and 1 wt. % Pd/Al2O3 oxides were synthesized by the incipient wetness method. 1 wt. % Pd/CeO2-Al2O3 oxides with 20 wt. %, 15 wt. % and 10 wt. % loadings of ceria were synthesized by the sequential impregnation method. Temperature programmed reduction (TPR) analysis was performed to analyze the reducibility of prepared oxi...
