The effects of Ce/Zr molar ratio, milling time and calcining temperature on the phase composition, particle size and morphology, surface charge, as well as the polishing property were investigated. The results show that the mixed oxide calcined at 1 000 ℃ is composed of cubic ceria doped with zirconium and tetragonal zirconia doped with cerium, and the phase composition varies with calcination temperature and the Ce/Zr molar ratio. The monoclinic zirconia is observed when decreasing calcination temperature and shortening milling time, demonstrating that milling and calcining can force the phase transformation from monoclinic zirconia to cerium stabilized tetragonal zirconia and zirconium doped cubic ceria solid solutions. The removal rate for the optical glass polishing varies with Ce/Zr molar ratio. A synergetic polishing effect is found when Ce/Zr molar ratio below 4, and the optimal Ce/Zr molar ratio is 1∶1. At the same time, the cubic ceria content, density, particle size and surface charge all increase when calcination temperature increasing from 800 ℃ to 1 100 ℃. However, the particle morphology changes from disperse quasi-sphere to irregular aggregation and the maximal removal rate for optical glass polishing lies at 1 000 ℃.These facts show that the polishing property of the synthesized ceria-zirconia mixed oxide is affected by the particle physical characteristics comprehensively.展开更多

The effects of pyrolysis temperature on the particle size, morphology, specific surface area and loose packing density of ceria were investigated, and the removal rate of optical glasses polishing by ceria was determined. The results show that with the increase of pyrolysis temperature, the loose deposit density and crystallinity increases and the specific surface area decreases, however, the particle size decreases firstly and then increases, the minimum medium particle size D50 is 0.47 μm at pyrolysis temperature of 1 000 ℃. The SEM images of ceria prepared by the decomposition at 800 ℃ or at 1 100 ℃ show porous powders or quasi-sphere small particles with loosely agglomeration, respectively. It was found that the removal rate varied with pyrolysis temperature in preparation of ceria and the property of glass polished. The removal rate for three kinds of glasses was in the order of ZF7> F1> K9, and the maximum value appeared at around 1 000 ℃ for ZF7 and F1, and at around 1 100 ℃ for K9.展开更多

Their composition, morphology and crystal phase were identified by means of elemental analysis, SEM and XRD. It was found that Nd2(CO3)3·2.5H2O with tengerite-type structure and sheet morphology was obtained when the feed molar ratio(FMR=n(NH4)2CO3/ NdCl3)was 2 or 1.8 and hydrothermally treated at 150 ℃ for 12h. However, orthogonal NdOHCO3 particles agglomerated with long rod crystals were formed when lowering FMR to 1.5 under the same hydrothermal condition. Phase transformation from tengerite-type Nd2(CO3)3·2.5H2O to orthogonal NdOHCO3 was occurred when increasing hydrothermal temperature or prolonging hydrothermal time, which is beneficial to the preparation of neodymium hydroxyl-carbonate with neodymium oxide content higher than 70%.展开更多

The feed molar ratio of nNH4HCO3/nNdCl3 was 2.5, and the precipitation was carried out with or without addition of polyglyceryl fatty acid ester (PGFAE). The phase type and morphology of crystalline neodymium carbonates were examined by XRD and SEM, and the effect of PGFAE on the crystallization speed was investigated by volume change in deposit layer and in situ pH determination. The content of neodymium and chloride in crystals was analyzed, and the crystallization reaction or crystal growth characteristics were discussed. It was found that all the crystalline neodymium carbonates were tengerite type, and contained less crystalline water and chloride than that of lanthanite type neodymium carbonate crystallized at room temperature, which is beneficial to the production of neodymium carbonate with higher neodymium and lower chloride content. The addition of PGFAE not only could eliminate the foam formed during precipitation, but also could shorten crystallization time, and form large radiative-like shape conglomeration by the irregulative linkage of one dimension needle crystals. It is also suggested that the morphology and the chloride content of neodymium carbonate were dependent on the structure and crystal growth characteristics.展开更多
