Nous présentons une contribution expérimentale à l’étude des propriétés structurales et magnétiques de ferrites de gallium substituées par des terres rares. Ce travail s’inscrit dans la thématique plus générale des multiferroïques magnétoélectriques dont fait partie le composé Ga2-xFexO3 qui est ferrimagnétique et présente une polarisation spontanée à température ambiante. On s’intéresse à l’influence de la substitution d’atomes de gallium ou de fer par des éléments de terres rares (Sc, Yb, Er, Sm) sur les paramètres structuraux de Ga2-xFexO3 avec 0,9  x  1,2 et à l’effet de la substitution par Sc et Yb sur la température de transition magnétique et l’aimantation à saturation. On présente une étude expérimentale du magnétisme du composé Ga0.99Yb0.01FeO3, réalisée à partir de mesures de la susceptibilité alternative et de l’aimantation en fonction du champ magnétique, H, et de la température T. Un large domaine d’irréversibilité magnétique est observé dans le diagramme de phase H–T. Les résultats suggèrent que Ga0.99Yb0.01FeO3 constitue un verre de spin Heisenberg tridimensionnel. / We present an experimental contribution to the study of structural and magnetic properties for gallium ferrites substituted by rare earth elements.

The powders were mainly characterized by x-ray diffraction. In specific cases, it was also used scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), x-ray fluorescence (XRF) and isotherms of adsorption and desorption of nitrogen (BET method). The study of the crystallite size was based on the interpretation of x-ray diffractograms obtained and estimated by the method of Halder-Wagner-Scherrer and Langford. An experimental design was made in order to assist in quantifying the influence of synthesis conditions on the response variables. The synthesis parameters evaluated in this study were: pH of the reaction medium (8, 9 and 10), the calcination temperature (combined complexation method EDTA/Citrate 600?C, 800?C and 1000?C), synthesis temperature (hydrothermal method 120?C, 140?C and 160?C), calcination time (combined complexation method EDTA/Citrate - 2, 4 and 6 hours) and time of synthesis (hydrothermal method 6, 15 and 24 hours). By the hydrothermal method was possible to produce mesoporous powders with high purity, with an average crystallite size up to 7 nm, with a surface area of 113.44 m?/g in the form of pellets with irregular morphology. By using the method of combined complexation EDTA/Citrate, mesoporous powders were produced with greater purity, crystallite size up to 22nm and 27.95 m?/g of surface area in the form of pellets with a regular morphology of plaques. In the experimental design was found that the hydrothermal method to all the studied parameters (pH, temperature and time) have significant effect on the crystallite size, while to the combined complexation method EDTA/Citrate, only temperature and time were significant / Neste trabalho foi sintetizada e caracterizada a ferrita de cobalto (CoFe2O4) atrav?s dos m?todos complexa??o combinada EDTA/Citrato e hidrot?rmico, investigando a influ?ncia das condi??es de s?ntese na forma??o da fase e no tamanho m?dio de cristalito. Os p?s foram caracterizados principalmente por difra??o de raios-x. Em casos espec?ficos, tamb?m foi utilizado microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV), espectroscopia de energia dispersiva (EDS), fluoresc?ncia de raios-x (FRX) e isotermas de adsor??o e dessor??o de nitrog?nio (M?todo BET). O estudo do tamanho de cristalito foi baseado na interpreta??o dos difratogramas de raios-x obtidos e estimado atrav?s do m?todo de Halder-Wagner-Langford (HWL) e de Scherrer. Um planejamento experimental foi realizado com a finalidade de auxiliar na quantifica??o da influ?ncia das condi??es de s?ntese nas vari?veis-resposta. Os par?metros de s?ntese avaliados neste trabalho foram: pH do meio reacional (8, 9 e 10), temperatura de calcina??o (m?todo de complexa??o combinando EDTA/Citrato 600?C, 800?C e 1000?C), temperatura de s?ntese (m?todo hidrot?rmico 120?C, 140?C e 160?C), tempo de calcina??o (m?todo de complexa??o combinando EDTA/Citrato 2, 4 e 6 hrs) e tempo de s?ntese (m?todo hidrot?rmico 6, 15 e 24 hrs). Pelo m?todo hidrot?rmico foi poss?vel produzir p?s mesoporosos com elevado grau de pureza, com tamanho m?dio de cristalito de at? 7nm, com ?rea superficial de 113,44m?/g e na forma de aglomerados com morfologia irregular.

No planejamento experimental foi constatado que no caso do m?todo hidrot?rmico todos os par?metros estudados (pH, Temperatura e tempo) apresentam efeito significativo no tamanho de cristalito, enquanto que, para o m?todo de complexa??o combinando EDTA/Citrato, apenas a temperatura e o tempo foram significativos / 2020-01-01

Fundação de Apoio a Pesquisa e à Inovação Tecnológica do Estado de Sergipe - FAPITEC/SE / The presence of high concentrations of toxic metals in water bodies requires a constant search for new and more effective methods to treat industrial waste. The present work proposes a technique for the removal of chromium present in leather tannery effluent, using a hybrid magnetic adsorbent, CoFe2O4/NOM, synthesized using an environmentally friendly procedure. Salts of the metals (Co and Fe) were used as precursors and natural organic matter (NOM) was used as the gelification agent, replacing the traditional reagents that are toxic and expensive. Comparisons were made of CoFe2O4/NOM produced at ambient temperature (FeAMB) and the materials produced after calcination at 200 (Fe200), 400 (Fe400), and 800 °C (Fe800). The materials were analyzed by X-ray diffractometry and infrared spectroscopy, which revealed the presence of NOM in the structure of the material, together with the formation of cobalt ferrite, hence confirming the suitability of the new synthesis route. Adsorption tests, performed as a function of pH and time, showed the effectiveness of FeAMB at the natural pH of the effluent (pH 4.2), while at pH 6.0 the removal percentages were approximately 94, 100, 98, and 89% for FeAMB, Fe200, Fe400, and Fe800, respectively, with corresponding equilibration times of 60, 120, 120, and 60 minutes, respectively. Kinetics assays showed that high adsorption of 70-87% was achieved after only 20 minutes. The adsorption kinetics could be fitted using a pseudo-second order model, and the likely removal mechanism was electrostatic attraction between carboxylate groups and the cationic chromium species CrOH2+ and Cr(OH)2 +. Amongst the adsorbents studied, the FeAMB/NOM hybrid material was especially attractive because it did not require heat treatment and showed high removal capacities during five reuse cycles, ranging from 96% in the first cycle to 82% in the fifth cycle. The residues remaining after the reuse cycles, comprising the FeAMB hybrid saturated with chromium (FeAMB_Sat) and the desorbed chromium solution (dried and calcined at 500 °C, denoted CrD), showed excellent catalytic activity in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol, the latter being an important compound used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and corrosion inhibitors. The conversion rates and times were 99.9% and 55 seconds for vi FeAMB_Sat, and 99.9% and 3 seconds for CrD. A magnetic hybrid material (denoted FeSF) was also synthesized replacing the analytical grade iron salt precursor by a ferric sulfate solution derived from the treatment of iron ore mining waste. This hybrid was highly efficient as an adsorbent, with 98% removal of chromium present in an industrial effluent in only 20 minutes. The technique described here contributes to the development of industrial symbiosis since it uses materials prepared using natural substances and enables the reuse of waste in the production cycle. The procedure is a technologically viable alternative for the remediation of metal-contaminated effluents. / O aumento da concentração de metais tóxicos nos corpos hídricos impulsiona uma busca constante por tratamentos eficientes para remediar resíduos industriais. Portanto, neste trabalho é proposto a remediação do cromo existente em efluente industrial de curtimento de couro utilizando um adsorvente híbrido magnético, CoFe2O4/MON, sintetizado por uma rota modificada, eco-amigável. Utiliza-se como precursores sais dos metais de interesse e a matéria orgânica natural (MON) como substância gelificante, em substituição aos reagentes tradicionais que são tóxicos e de alto custo. Para fins comparativos, a CoFe2O4/MON obtida à temperatura ambiente (FeAMB) foi calcinada a 200 (Fe200), 400 (Fe400) e 800°C (Fe800) e a formação do material foi confirmada por difratometria de raios x, que indicou também, simultaneamente, com o infravermelho, a presença da MON na estrutura do material, a formação da ferrita de cobalto e assim, a eficácia da rota de síntese proposta. Os ensaios de adsorção em função do pH e do tempo, evidenciaram a eficiência da FeAMB, no pH natural do efluente (4,2), enquanto que para os demais, no pH 6,0; com percentuais de remoção de aproximadamente 94, 100, 98 e 89% para FeAMB, Fe200, Fe400, Fe800, respectivamente, e tempos de equilíbrio de 60, 120, 120 e 60 minutos. Entretanto, com apenas 20 minutos de ensaios cinéticos houve uma alta resposta de adsorção, entre 70-87%. A cinética de adsorção ajustou-se melhor ao modelo de pseudo-segunda ordem e o possível mecanismo de remoção ocorre por atração eletrostática entre os grupos carboxilatos e as espécies catiônicas do cromo, CrOH2+, Cr(OH)2 +. O material híbrido FeAMB/MON destaca-se entre os demais adsorventes em estudo por não ter sido submetido a tratamento térmico e porque apresentou uma elevada capacidade de remoção após ser submetido a cinco ciclos de reutilização, variando de 96% no primeiro ciclo para 82% no quinto ciclo. Os resíduos decorrentes dos ciclos de reutilização, o híbrido FeAMB saturado com cromo (FeAMB_Sat) e a solução de cromo dessorvido, seca e calcinada a 500°C (CrD), apresentaram excelentes potenciais catalíticos na redução do 4- nitrofenol a 4-aminofenol, o qual é um importante insumo para a síntese de produtos farmacêuticos e inibidores de corrosão. A taxa e o tempo de conversão da redução, foram de 99,9% e 55 segundos para FeAMB_Sat e 99,9% e 3 segundos para CrD. De modo eminente, também foi sintetizado um material híbrido magnético substituindo o precursor sal de ferro em grau analítico por solução de sulfato férrico oriunda de um resíduo tratado da mineração de ferro, denominado FeSF. Este híbrido revelou uma eficiência notável como adsorvente, pois o percentual de remoção de cromo presente em efluente industrial foi de 98% em apenas 20 minutos. Diante disso, o presente estudo contribuiu para a prática da simbiose industrial ao propor o emprego de substâncias naturais na elaboração de materiais, bem como a reutilização dos resíduos, e sua reinserção no ciclo produtivo desenvolvendo uma alternativa tecnologicamente viável para remediação de metais.

The interest in breaking the historical dependence on fossil energy and begin moving towards more renewable energy sources is rising worldwide. This is largely due to uncertainties in the future supply of fossil fuels and the rising concerns about humanity’s role in the currently ongoing climate changes. One renewable energy source is ocean waves and Uppsala University has since the early 2000s been performing active research in this area. The Uppsala wave energy concept is centered on developing linear generators coupled to point absorbing buoys, with the generator situated on the seabed and connected to the buoy on the sea surface via a steel wire. The motion of the buoy then transfers energy to the generator, where it is converted into electricity and sent to shore for delivery into the electrical grid. This thesis will mainly focus on the development and evaluation of technologies used to automate the manufacturing of the translator, a central part of the linear generator, using industrial robotics. The translator is a 3 m high and 0.8 m wide three sided structure with an aluminum pipe at its center. The structure consists of alternating layers of steel plates (pole-shoes) and ferrite magnets, with a total of 72 layers per side. To perform experiments on translator assembly and production, a robot cell (centered on an IRB6650S industrial robot) complimented with relevant tools, equipment and security measures, has been designed and constructed. The mounting of the pole-shoes on the central pipe, using the industrial robot, proved to be the most challenging task to solve. However, by implementing a precise work-piece orientation calibration system, combined with selective compliance robot tools, the task could be performed with mounting speeds of up to 50 mm/s. Although progress has been made, much work still remains before fully automated translator assembly is a reality. A secondary topic of this thesis is the development of stand-alone measurement systems to be used in the linear generator, once it has been deployed on the seabed. The main requirements of such a measurement system is robustness, resistance to electrical noise, and power efficiency. If possible the system should also be portable and easy to use. This was solved by developing a custom measurement circuit, based on industry standard 4–20 mA current signals, combined with a portable submersible logging unit. The latest iteration of the system is small enough to be deployed and retrieved by one person, and can collect data for 10 weeks before running out of batteries. Future work in this area should focus on increasing the usability of the system. The third and final topic of this thesis is a short discussion of an engineering approach to kinetic energy storage, in the form of high-speed composite flywheels, and the design of two different prototypes of such flywheels. Both designs gave important insights to the research group, but a few crucial design faults unfortunately made it impossible to evaluate the full potential of the two designs.

The present thesis gives a summary of results obtained through theoretical and experimental studies of systems with relevance to copper smelting and converting. Many chemical elements are involved in the copper production pro­cesses and a detailed experimental study would be very time- consuming and expensive. A complicating fact is also the corrosivity of the liquid phases towards container material. A powerful alternative is equilibrium calculations, in which models for the liquid phases as well as reliable basic thermodynamic data are needed. In the present thesis, a generalized structure based model for liquid silicates was developed and used in assessments of the sys­tems PbO-SiO2, Fe-O-SiO2, CuO0.5-SÌO2 and Cu-Fe-O-SiO2. In the model, the non-ideal silicate melt is treated as an ideal solu­tion but containing a few complexes. The PbO-Si02 melt could be described by introducing the complexes Pb3Si207, Pb4Si4010 and Pb13Si12O37 in addition to the components PbO and Pb2Si04. The species considered in the Fe-O-SiO2 melt were FeO, FeO1.5, Fe2Si04, Fe3Si207, Fe3Si6O15 and in the CUO0.5-SiO2 melt CuO0.5 ana CU4SiO4. Trie calculated phase diagrams, the activities of me­tal oxides and the oxygen partial pressures were all in good agreement with the published data. Two of the papers in this thesis concern the determination of Gibbs free energies for Cu2S(s,l) and Ca2Fe2O5(s) through emf measurements utilizing a solid electrolyte. Activities and termi­nal solubilities in the solid solution [Fet,Ca]0 were also deter­mined. The results obtained from the quantitative equilibrium calcula­tions for conventional copper smelting and converting were used to outline the overall reactions taking place and the outcome of changes in process parameters. Comparison with observed values, however, showed that the copper and magnetite contents in slag were calculated too low. These discrepancies could be completely explained by using a non-equilibrium approach in which the con­verter was assumed to consist of several segments with concentra­tion gradients between the segments. / digitalisering@umu.se

Non-stoichiometric strontium iron oxide is described by an abbreviated formula SrFeOx (2.5 ≤ x ≤ 3.0) exhibits a variety of interesting physical and chemical properties over a broad range of temperatures and in different gaseous environments. The oxide contains a mixture of iron in the trivalent and the rare tetravalent state. The material at elevated temperature is a mixed oxygen conductor and it, or its derivatives,can have practical applications in oxygen conducting devices such as pressure driven oxygen generators, partial oxidation reactors in electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). ¶ This thesis examines the behaviour of the material at ambient and elevated temperatures using a broad spectrum of solid state experimental techniques such as: x-ray and neutron powder diffraction,thermogravimetric and calorimetric methods,scanning electron microscopy and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Changes in the oxide were induced using conventional thermal treatment in various atmospheres as well as mechanical energy (ball milling). The first experimental chapter examines the formation of the ferrite from a mixture of reactants.It describes the chemical reactions and phase transitions that lead to the formation of the oxide. Ball milling of the reactants prior to annealing was found to eliminate transient phases from the reaction route and to increase the kinetics of the reaction at lower temperatures. Examination of the thermodynamics of iron oxide (hematite) used for the reactions led to a new route of synthesis of the ferrite frommagnetite and strontium carbonate.This chapter also explores the possibility of synthesis of the material at room temperature using ball milling. ¶ The ferrite strongly interacts with the gas phase so its behaviour was studied under different pressures of oxygen and in carbon dioxide.The changes in ferrite composition have an equilibrium character and depend on temperature and oxygen concentration in the atmosphere. Variations of the oxygen content x were described as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure, the results were used to plot an equilibrium composition diagram. The heat of oxidation was also measured as a function of temperature and oxygen partial pressure. ¶ Interaction of the ferrite with carbon dioxide below a critical temperature causes decomposition of the material to strontium carbonate and SrFe12O19 . The critical temperature depends on the partial pressure of CO2 and above the critical temperature the carbonate and SrFe12O19 are converted back into the ferrite.The resulting SrFe12O19 is very resistant towards carbonation and the thermal carbonation reaction does not lead to a complete decomposition of SrFeOx to hematite and strontium carbonate. ¶ The thermally induced oxidation and carbonation reactions cease at room temperature due to sluggish kinetics however,they can be carried out at ambient temperature using ball milling.The reaction routes for these processes are different from the thermal routes.The mechanical oxidation induces two or more concurrent reactions which lead to samples containing two or more phases. The mechanical carbonation on the other hand produces an unknown metastable iron carbonate and leads a complete decomposition of the ferrite to strontiumcarbonate and hematite. ¶ Thermally and mechanically oxidized samples were studied using Mossbauer spectroscopy. The author proposes a new interpretation of the Sr4Fe4O11 (x=2.75) and Sr8Fe8O23 (x=2.875)spectra.The interpretation is based on the chemistry of the compounds and provides a simpler explanation of the observed absorption lines.The Mossbauer results froma range of compositions revealed the roomtemperature phase behaviour of the ferrite also examined using x-ray diffraction. ¶ The high-temperature crystal structure of the ferrite was examined using neutron powder diffraction.The measurements were done at temperatures up to 1273K in argon and air atmospheres.The former atmosphere protects Sr2Fe2O5 (x=2.5) against oxidation and the measurements in air allowed variation of the composition of the oxide in the range 2.56 ≤ x ≤ 2.81. Sr2Fe2O5 is an antiferromagnet and undergoes phase transitions to the paramagnetic state at 692K and from the orthorhombic to the cubic structure around 1140K.The oxidized formof the ferrite also undergoes a transition to the high-temperature cubic form.The author proposes a new structural model for the cubic phase based on a unit cell with the Fm3c symmetry. The new model allows a description of the high-temperature cubic form of the ferrite as a solid solution of the composition end members.The results were used to draw a phase diagramfor the SrFeOx system. ¶ The last chapter summarizes the findings and suggests directions for further research.

Photoelectrodes and photovoltaic devices have been prepared via multiple thin film deposition methods. Aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD), electrodeposition (ED), chemical bath deposition (CBD) and doctor blade technique (DB) have been used to deposit binary and ternary metal oxide films on FTO glass substrates. The prepared thin films were characterised by a combination of SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), powder X-ray diffraction, mechanical strength tests and photochemical measurements. Nickel oxide (NiO) thin films prepared by AACVD were determined to have good mechanical strength . with a photocurrent of 7.6 μA cm-2 at 0 V and an onset potential of about 0.10 V. This contrasted with the dark current density of 0.3 μA cm-2 at 0 V. These NiO samples have very high porosity with crystalline columns evidenced by SEM. In comparison with the AACVD methodology, NiO films prepared using a combination of ED and DB show good mechanical strength but a higher photocurrent of 24 μA cm-2 at 0 V and an onset potential of about 0.10 V with a significantly greater dark current density of 7 μA cm-2 at 0 V. The characteristic features shown in the SEM are smaller pores compared to the AACVD method. Copper (II) oxide (CuO) and copper (I) oxide (Cu2O) films were fabricated by AACVD by varying the annealing temperature between 100-325°C in air using a fixed annealing time of 30 min. It was shown by photocurrent density (J-V) measurements that CuO produced at 325 °C was most stable and provided the highest photocurrent of 173 μA cm-2 at 0 V with an onset potential of about 0.23 V. The alignment of zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-rods and nano-tubes fabricated by CBD have been shown to be strongly affected by the seed layer on the FTO substrate. SEM images showed that AACVD provided the best seed layer for aligning the growth of the nano-rods perpendicular to the surface. Nano-rods were successfully altered into nano-tubes using a potassium chloride bath etching method. NiO prepared by both AACVD and the combined ED/DB method were sensitized to absorb more of the solar spectrum using AACVD to deposit CuO over the NiO. A large increase in the photocurrent was observed for the p-type photoelectrode. These p-type photoelectrode showed a photocurrent density of approximately 100 μA cm-2 at 0 V and an onset potential of 0.3 V. This photocathode was then used as a base to produce a solid state p-type solar cell. For the construction of the solid state solar cells several n-type semiconductors were used, these were ZnO, WO3 and BiVO4. WO3 and BiVO4 were successfully produced with BiVO4 proving to be the optimum choice. This cell was then studied more in depth and optimised by controlling the thickness of each layer and annealing temperatures. The best solid state solar cell produced had a Jsc of 0.541 μA cm-2 (541 nA) and a Voc of 0.14 V, TX146 made up of NiO 20 min, CuFe2O4 50 min, CuO 10 min, BiVO4 27 min, using AACVD and then annealed for 30 min at 600°C.
