    Synthesis of Stable Nano Calcite
    (Turkish Chemical Society, 2018) Kılıç, Sevgi
    Synthesis of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particles in the presence of a population of carbon dioxide (CO2) bubbles was investigated in the calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) solution, which is a natural stabilizer for CaCO3. Possible chemical speciation reactions were presented for an inorganic synthesis of hollow nano-CaCO3 particles. In the progress of CaCO3 synthesis, some of the particles started to dissolve at their edges and turned into hollow nano-CaCO3 particles. Some of the pores closed at the end of crystallization as a result of dissolution-recrystallization mechanism. Hollow nano-CaCO3 particles with sizes of about 300 nm were synthesized with a narrow size distribution. It was concluded that the hollow nano-CaCO3 particles could be advantageous due to lower weights and higher surface areas.

    Influence of Calcination Temperature on Microstructure and Surface Charge of Membrane Top Layers Composed of Zirconia Nanoparticles
    (Springer Verlag, 2015) Erdem, İlker; Çiftçioğlu, Muhsin
    The purpose of the research is to investigate the changes in microstructure and physicochemical characteristics, mainly surface charge (i.e. zeta potential) of zirconia membrane top layer during calcination. Zirconia is one of the most commonly preferred materials for ceramic membrane top layers due to its superior durability. The physicochemical properties of the top layer composed of submicron / nano particles is necessary not only for Donnan exclusion but also for dynamics of membrane fouling. In the present research the possibility of preparation of zirconia top layers with varying surface charge with changing calcination temperature was shown and a correlation between phase transformation and surface charge was determined.
