Coupled effect of particle size of the source materials and calcination temperature on the direct synthesis of hydroxyapatite.

ABSTRACT: We report the effect of controlled particle size (obtained by using 80, 100, 120, 140 and 200 mesh) of the source materials on the synthesis of a well-known biomaterial, hydroxyapatite (Hap). In addition to this, we have also mapped the consequence of applied temperature (700°C, 800°C and 900°C) on the crystallographic properties and phase composition of the obtained Hap. Nevertheless, although with Hap, in each case, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) was registered as the secondary phase the ANOVA test revealed that the results of the crystallographic parameters are significantly different for the applied sintering temperature 700°C and 800°C (p < 0.05), while the data obtained for calcination temperature 800°C are not significantly different from that acquired at 900°C (p > 0.05). Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer data ensured that, irrespective of mesh size and calcination temperature, the synthesized Hap samples were of carbonated apatite with B-type substitution. Interestingly, for all cases, the % of carbonate content was below the maximum limit (8%) of the CO32- ion present in bone tissue hydroxyapatite.

Preparation of Crystalline LaFeO3 Nanoparticles at Low Calcination Temperature: Precursor and Synthesis Parameter Effects.

Project description:Substantial effort has been devoted to fabricating nanocrystalline lanthanum ferrite (LaFeO3), and calcination is the crucial process of crystallization in both high-temperature strategies and wet chemical methods. Lowering the calcination temperature gives the ability to resist the growth and agglomeration of nanoparticles, therefore contributing to preserve their unique nanostructures and properties. In this work, we prepared crystalline LaFeO3 nanoparticles with a calcination process at 500 °C, lower than the calcination temperature required in most wet chemistry methods. Correspondingly, the experimental conditions, including stoichiometric ratios, pH values, precipitants, complexant regent, and the calcination temperatures, were investigated. We found that the crystalline LaFeO3 was formed with crystalline NaFeO2 after calcination at 500 °C. Furthermore, the structure of FeO6 octahedra that formed in coprecipitation was associated with the process of crystallization, which was predominantly determined by calcination temperature. Moreover, an illusion of pure-phase LaFeO3 was observed when investigated by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, which involves amorphous sodium ferrite or potassium ferrite, respectively. These findings can help prepare nanostructured perovskite oxides at low calcination temperatures.

Calcination of Clay Raw Materials in a Fluidized Bed.

Project description:Clay raw materials are diverse in terms of their mineral composition, as well as the content of colouring oxides and their physical properties. Determining the suitability of raw materials for various purposes requires comprehensive studies on their properties, as well as their appropriate correction, which is possible through the use of appropriate modification techniques. One of the most commonly used technologies for the enrichment of clay raw materials is to subject them to high temperatures, which, depending on the temperature regime used in the technological process, may cause the decomposition and removal of some addditional components (e.g., carbonates), as well as the removal of water and dehydroxylation of clay minerals, reversible structural changes, and the complete and permanent reconstruction of the mineral phases. This paper presents a new application for fluidization technology in the calcination of clay raw materials. The results of the experiment show that the fluidization method is competitive compared to the technologies that have been used so far, as a result of, inter alia, the much shorter time period required to carry out the calcination process and, consequently, the much lower energy expenditure, the high efficiency of burning coal, and the lower CO2 emissions resulting from the mixing taking place in the reactor.

Comparison of nanoparticular hydroxyapatite pastes of different particle content and size in a novel scapula defect model.

Project description:Nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) has good biocompatibility and the potential to support bone formation. It represents a promising alternative to autologous bone grafting, which is considered the current gold standard for the treatment of low weight bearing bone defects. The purpose of this study was to compare three bone substitute pastes of different HA content and particle size with autologous bone and empty defects, at two time points (6 and 12 months) in an ovine scapula drillhole model using micro-CT, histology and histomorphometry evaluation. The nHA-LC (38% HA content) paste supported bone formation with a high defect bridging-rate. Compared to nHA-LC, Ostim® (35% HA content) showed less and smaller particle agglomerates but also a reduced defect bridging-rate due to its fast degradation The highly concentrated nHA-HC paste (48% HA content) formed oversized particle agglomerates which supported the defect bridging but left little space for bone formation in the defect site. Interestingly, the gold standard treatment of the defect site with autologous bone tissue did not improve bone formation or defect bridging compared to the empty control. We concluded that the material resorption and bone formation was highly impacted by the particle-specific agglomeration behaviour in this study.

Aqueous Phase Synthesis of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural from Glucose over Large Pore Mesoporous Zirconium Phosphates: Effect of Calcination Temperature.

Project description:For a solid acid-catalyzed dehydration of biomass-derived carbohydrates into useful furan derivatives, a suitable porous solid acid catalyst having an optimum acidic density and its strength is required to avoid cascade reactions in biomass conversion processes. A large-pore mesoporous zirconium phosphate (m-ZrP) was prepared hydrothermally using P123 as a template in water solvent, which resulted in a higher pore diameter (>9 nm) having wormhole-like pore structures with balanced Lewis (L) to Brönsted (B) acid sites. The effects of calcination temperature (500-800 °C) on the textural, acidic/basic, and structural properties of the m-ZrP with its catalytic performance for glucose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) were investigated in a pure water media as a green and sustainable alternative solvent. The larger number of L and B acid sites and basic sites with their appropriate strengths were clearly related with a better catalytic performance in terms of glucose conversion and HMF yield. The strong L acid and basic sites in the m-ZrP efficiently promoted the glucose isomerization to fructose, which dehydrated exclusively on the weak B acid sites resulting in a maximum conversion of glucose (83.8%) and HMF yield (46.6%). The adjusted acidic and basic sites with large mesopore sizes make the m-ZrP yield a higher reaction rate (2.78 mmol gcat -1 h-1) and turnover frequency (11.68/h) for conversion of glucose to HMF, which showed higher catalytic activity than those of a small-pore m-ZrP and other mesoporous heterogeneous and homogeneous acid catalysts.

Continuous-Flow Synthesis of ZIF-8 Biocomposites with Tunable Particle Size.

Project description:Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) biocomposites show the capacity to protect and deliver biotherapeutics. To date, the progress in this research area is based on laboratory batch methods. Now, the first continuous flow synthetic method is presented for the encapsulation of a model protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA) and a clinical therapeutic (?1-antitrypsin, AAT) in ZIF-8. The in?situ kinetics of nucleation, growth, and crystallization of BSA@ZIF-8 were studied by small-angle X-ray scattering. By controlling the injection time of ethanol, the particle growth could be quenched by ethanol-induced crystallization from amorphous particles to ZIF-8 crystals. The particle size of the biocomposite was tuned in the 40-100?nm range by varying residence time prior to introduction of ethanol. As a proof-of-concept, this procedure was used for the encapsulation of AAT in ZIF-8. Upon release of the biotherapeutic from the composite, the trypsin inhibitor function of AAT was preserved.

Direct observation of finite size effects in chains of antiferromagnetically coupled spins.

Project description:Finite spin chains made of few magnetic ions are the ultimate-size structures that can be engineered to perform spin manipulations for quantum information devices. Their spin structure is expected to show finite size effects and its knowledge is of great importance both for fundamental physics and applications. Until now a direct and quantitative measurement of the spatial distribution of the magnetization of such small structures has not been achieved even with the most advanced microscopic techniques. Here we present measurements of the spin density distribution of a finite chain of eight spin-3/2 ions using polarized neutron diffraction. The data reveal edge effects that are a consequence of the finite size and of the parity of the chain and indicate a noncollinear spin arrangement. This is in contrast with the uniform spin distribution observed in the parent closed chain and the collinear arrangement in odd-open chains.

Effects of temperature gradient and particle size on self-ignition temperature of low-rank coal excavated from inner Mongolia, China.

Project description:This study investigates the effects of temperature gradient and coal particle size on the critical self-ignition temperature T CSIT of a coal pile packed with low-rank coal using the wire-mesh basket test to estimate T CSIT based on the Frank-Kamenetskii equation. The values of T CSIT, the temperature gradient and the apparent activation energy of different coal pile volumes packed with coal particles of different sizes are measured. The supercriticality or subcriticality of the coal is assessed using a non-dimensional index IHR based on the temperature gradient at the temperature cross-point between coal and ambient temperatures for coal piles with various volumes and particle sizes. The critical value IHRC at the boundary between supercriticality and subcriticality is determined as a function of pile volume. The coal status of supercritical or subcritical can be separated by critical value of IHR as a function of pile volume. Quantitative effects of coal particle size on T CSIT of coal piles are measured for constant pile volume. It can be concluded that a pile packed with smaller coal particles is more likely to undergo spontaneous combustion, while the chemical activation energy is not sensitive to coal particle size. Finally, the effect of coal particle size on T CSIT is represented by the inclusion of an extra term in the equation giving T CSIT for a coal pile.

Particle size effect in the mechanically assisted synthesis of β-cyclodextrin mesitylene sulfonate.

Project description:The mechanically assisted synthesis of organic compounds has recently focused considerable attention as it may be unique in features to selectively direct the reaction pathway. In the continuation of our work on the synthesis of modified cyclodextrins (CDs) via mechanochemical activation, we sought to discriminate the contribution of supramolecular effects and grinding during the course of a reaction in the solid state. As such, we recently investigated the influence of the particle size of β-CD in the synthesis of β-CD mesitylene sulfonate (β-CDMts) in the solid state using a vibrating ball-mill. We were particularly interested in the role of the particle size on the kinetics of the reaction. In this study, we show that grinding β-CD reduces the particles size over time down to a limit of 167 nm. The granulometric composition remains rather invariant for grinding times over 1 h. Each type of β-CD particles reacted with mesitylenesulfonyl chloride (MtsCl) to produce β-CDMts. Contrary to what could be intuitively anticipated, smaller particles did not lead to the highest conversions. The impact of grinding on the conversion was limited. Interestingly, the proportion of β-CDMts mono-substituted on the primary face significantly increased over time when the reaction was carried out in the presence of KOH as a base. The data series were confronted with kinetics models to get insight in the way the reactions proceeded. The diversity of possible models suggests that multiple mechanochemical processes can account for the formation of β-CDMts in the solid state. Throughout the study, we found that the reactivity depended more upon diffusion phenomena in the crystalline parts of the material than on the increase in the surface area of the CD particles resulting from grinding.

Hydroxyapatite Particle Density Regulates Osteoblastic Differentiation Through β-Catenin Translocation.

Project description:Substrate surface characteristics such as roughness, wettability and particle density are well-known contributors of a substrate's overall osteogenic potential. These characteristics are known to regulate cell mechanics as well as induce changes in cell stiffness, cell adhesions, and cytoskeletal structure. Pro-osteogenic particles, such as hydroxyapatite, are often incorporated into a substrate to enhance the substrates osteogenic potential. However, it is unknown which substrate characteristic is the key regulator of osteogenesis. This is partly due to the lack of understanding of how these substrate surface characteristics are transduced by cells. In this study substrates composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) and carbonated hydroxyapatite particles (HAp) were synthesized. HAp concentration was varied, and a range of surface characteristics created. The effect of each substrate characteristic on osteoblastic differentiation was then examined. We found that, of the characteristics examined, only HAp density, and indeed a specific density (85 particles/cm2), significantly increased osteoblastic differentiation. Further, an increase in focal adhesion maturation and turnover was observed in cells cultured on this substrate. Moreover, β-catenin translocation from the membrane bound cell fraction to the nucleus was more rapid in cells on the 85 particle/cm2 substrate compared to cells on tissue culture polystyrene. Together, these data suggest that particle density is one pivotal factor in determining a substrates overall osteogenic potential. Additionally, the observed increase in osteoblastic differentiation is a at least partly the result of β-catenin translocation and transcriptional activity suggesting a β-catenin mediated mechanism by which substrate surface characteristics are transduced.
