Os materiais obtidos foram caracterizados por difração de raios-X (DRX), microscopia eletrônica de varredura com fonte de emissão de campo (MEV-FEG), espectroscopia de energia dispersiva (EDS) e espectroscopia de reflectância difusa (ERD). O potencial catalítico do material foi avaliado por espectrofotometria, onde foi avaliado a variação da concentração de corantes (Azul Maxilon e Amarelo Erionyl a 10ppm) em um reator com bateladas de 30, 60, 90 e 120 minutos de reação, a 45ºC, pH = 6, com incidência de luz visível e 200mg/L de catalisador. De acordo com os resultados do DRX, foi constatado que os compostos obtidos apresentaram as fases esperadas. Através das imagens do MEV foi possivel observar que houve alteração nos tamanhos e formatos do material base (TiO2) devido a incorporação do molibdato de cério, além da verificação da eficiencia dos métodos ao conferir a homogeneidade da dopagem, constatando ineficiencia no método de dopagem via úmida quando feita a 10%. Os resultados do EDS confirmaram a presença dos elementos que foram utilizados para formação do composto final e apresentaram um desvio de 2,2-3,6% entre a composição teórica e a experimental, justificado pelo método de síntese e de dopagem. Por meio da análise de ERD foi constatado que não houve alteração significativa no bandgap do material base (TiO2) ao introduzir o Ce2(MoO4)3. O TiO2 comercial foi utilizado como base de comparação para os testes de fotocatálise. Para o corante ácido amarelo (Amarelo Erionyl) a fotólise não foi significativa, o material obteve valores de até 51,15% de adsorção e obteve como melhor fotocatalisador o 10 wt% Ce2(MoO4)3/TiO2 obtido por impregnação, alcançando 49% de remoção. Para o corante básico azul (Azul Maxilon) houve fotólise de até 9% em 120 minutos, o mesmo obteve os melhores resultados de adsorção com o material base e degradação quando utilizado com o TiO2 puro tratado no método EDTA-Citrato, atingindo 63,27% e 92,195% respectivamente ao fim de 120 minutos. / Ce2(MoO4)3/TiO2 composites (cerium molybdate and titanium dioxide) with different compositions were prepared by combined complexation method EDTA-Citrate and by the wet doping method. The obtained materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The material catalytic potential was evaluated by spectrophotometry, in which the dye concentration variation (Maxilon Blue and Erionyl Yellow at 10ppm) was evaluated in a reactor with 30, 60, 90 and 120 minute batch reaction at 45ºC, pH = 6, with visible light incidence and 200mg / L of catalyst. According to the results of the XRD, it was verified that the obtained compounds presented the expected phases. Through the images of the SEM it was possible to observe that there was a change in sizes and formats of the base material (TiO2) due to the incorporation of the cerium molybdate. It was also verified through SEM that the material was not homogeneous for the wet doping method done with 10%. The EDS results confirmed the presence of elements that were used to form the final compound and presented a deviation of 2.2-3.6% between the theoretical and the experimental composition, justified by the synthesis and doping method. By the ERD analysis, it was certified that there was no significant change in the bandgap of the base material (TiO2) when introducing Ce2(MoO4)3. Commercial TiO2 was used as comparison basis for the photocatalysis tests. For the yellow acid dye (Yellow Erionyl) the photolysis was not significant, the material obtained values of up to 25% of adsorption and obtained as best photocatalyst the 10 wt% Ce2(MoO4)3/TiO2 obtained by impregnation, which caused 49% remotion. For the basic blue dye (Maxilon Blue) there was photolysis of up to 9% in 120 minutes, it obtained the best results of adsorption when the base material was tested and degradation when the pure TiO2 treated by EDTA-Citrate was tested, reaching 63.27% and 92.195% respectively at the end of 120 minutes.

Avaliou-se também sua influência na densificação, condutividade elétrica e estabilidade química em atmosfera de CO2. Os resultados de caracterização físico-química do material em pó indicaram a formação da fase perovskita sob sistema monoclínico em temperaturas de 700ºC-1000ºC, mas que contem resíduos de carbonatos, independente da faixa de pH da síntese. Em temperaturas de calcinação de maiores que 1200ºC/3h, os materiais sintetizados em 5≤pH≤6 mantiveram sob estrutura cristalina perovskita do sistema monoclínico (menos simétrico), porém, os materiais sintetizados em 8≤pH≤9 organizaram-se sob estrutura cristalina perovskita no sistema ortorrômbico (mais simétrico). Para ambas as faixas de pH de síntese, resíduos de carbonatos estáveis foram encontrados até uma temperatura de 1200ºC. Os materiais obtidos em ambas as faixas de pH apresentaram alto grau de densificação (densidades relativas >97%), requerendo temperaturas de 1450oC.

The ceramic was synthesized by EDTA-Citrate Method and the pH influence (5≤pH≤6 and 8≤pH≤9) was evaluated. After, densification, electrical conductivity and chemical stability (in CO2 10mol% atmosphere) were studied. Concerning to physicochemical characterization results of powder, it was observed the formation of perovskite phase with monoclinic system when treated at 700ºC-1000ºC and it was observed the presence of stable carbonates up to 1200ºC/3h for both pH synthesis conditions. At 1200ºC/3h, the materials synthesized at 5≤pH≤6 range maintained under perovskite monoclinic system (less symmetrical). On the other hand, the materials synthesized at 8≤pH≤9 range structured under perovskite orthorhombic system (more symmetrical). After the densification process at 1450ºC/3h the materials maintained the previous crystalline structures. The materials showed high level of the densification (relatives densities >97%) for the both pH range. The electric impedance spectroscopy analysis of the materials synthesized at 8≤pH≤9 range showed high protonic conductivity (0,601-4,17 mS/cm) at humidified atmosphere of 20%O2/N2 and 20%H2/N2, at 400ºC-600ºC range. The chemical stability results (in CO2 10mol% atmosphere) showed that the material has adequate chemical stability in temperatures of 400-500ºC and that it can be used as PCFCs electrolyte in this temperature range. / CNPq: 141413/2015-8

No presente trabalho, perovskitas do tipo (BaCexO3) tiveram o c?rio gradativamente substitu?do pelo praseod?mio para obten??o de materiais tern?rios do tipo BaCexPr1-xO3 e bin?rios BaPrO3. Esses materiais foram sintetizados pelo m?todo de complexa??o combinando EDTA-Citrato, sendo o material caracterizado via DRX, MEV e BET para identifica??o da sua estrutura, morfologia e ?rea superficial.

However, as the ceramic materials mixed conductivity have been produced by different synthesis methods, some conditions directly influence the final properties, one of the most important doping Site B, which may have direct influence on the crystallite size, which in turn directly influences their catalytic activity. In this study, perovskite-type (BaCexO3) had cerium gradually replaced by praseodymium to obtain ternary type materials BaCexPr1-xO3 and BaPrO3 binaries. These materials were synthesized by EDTA/Citrate complexing method and the material characterized via XRD, SEM and BET for the identification of their structure, morphology and surface area. Moreover were performed on all materials, catalytic test in a fixed bed reactor for the identification of that person responsible for complete conversion of CO to CO2 at low operating temperature, which step can be used as the subsequent production of synthesis gas (CO + H2) from methane oxidation. In the present work the crystalline phase having the orthorhombic structure was obtained for all compositions, with a morphology consisting of agglomerated particles being more pronounced with increasing praseodymium in the crystal structure. The average crystal size was between 100 nm and 142,2 nm. The surface areas were 2,62 m?g-1 for the BaCeO3 composition, 3,03 m?g-1 to BaCe0,5Pr0,5O3 composition and 2,37 m?g-1 to BaPrO3 composition. Regarding the catalytic tests, we can conclude that the optimal flow reactor operation was 50 ml / min and the composition regarding the maximum rate of conversion to the lowest temperature was BaCeO3 to 400? C. Meanwhile, there was found that the partially replaced by praseodymium, cerium, there was a decrease in the catalytic activity of the material.

The methodology used for the synthesis of the ceramic powders involved the complexation combining EDTA-citrate. The materials characterization was performed using simple and differential thermogravimetry, x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The microstructure analysis was performed using the refinement by the Rietveld method, and the crystallite size and distribution of the materials was elucidate by the Scherrer and Williamson-Hall methods. The conditions of the synthesis process for the three envisaged materials (SrWO4, SrWO4 using tungsten oxide concentrate as raw material, and Ce2(WO4)3) were adjusted to obtain a single phase crystalline material. The catalytic tests were carried out in the presence of methane and synthetic air, which is composed of 21% O2 and 79% N2. The analysis of the conversion of the reaction was done with the aid of an fourier transform infrared device (FTIR). The analysis showed that, structurally, the SrWO4 produced using raw materials of high and poor purity (99% and 92%, respectively) are similar. The ideal parameters of calcination, in the tested range, are temperature of 1000 ?C and time of calcination 5 hours. For the Ce2(WO4)3, the ideal calcination time and are temperature 15 hours and 1000?C, respectively. The Williamson-Hall method provided two different distributions for the crystallite size of each material, whose values ranged between the nanometer and micrometer scales. According to method of Scherrer, all materials produced were composed of nanometric crystallites. The analyses of transmission electron microscopy confirmed the results obtained from the Williamson- Hall method for the crystallite size. The EDS showed an atomic composition for the metals in the SrWO4 that was different of the theoretical composition. With respect to the catalytic tests, all materials were found to be catalytically active, but the reaction process should be further studied and optimized. / O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi produzir materiais cer?micos nanom?tricos da fam?lia dos tungstatos (tungstatos de c?rio e de estr?ncio), e test?-los quanto ?s suas atividades catal?ticas em processos envolvendo a transforma??o do g?s metano (CH4).

All the XRD patterns were indexed according to JCPDS 01-085-0586 record with tetragonal structure and space group I41/a and the residual parameter structure refinement ranged from 1.035 to 1.292, secondary phases and impurities not being identified. It was found that there are differences between the average relative intensities of the diffraction peaks of X-rays. Using statistical tools, it was found that the rate of heating was the independent variable showed the greatest influence on this difference. The EDX analysis showed the presence of deviations between the theoretical and experimental composition for strontium and molybdenum components; the percentage deviation ranged from 0.027 to 3.67% depending on the conditions of synthesis. According to the SEM micrographs, the synthesized powders are composed of agglomerates of particles with irregular and spherical morphology bipiramidal. According to the analysis of the experimental design, with the dependent variable bandgap energy, the lowest values (4.18 and 4.17 eV to pH 6 and 9, respectively) were the samples calcined for 3 hours at the same heating rate 10 C min-1 compared to the calcined material in other conditions of synthesis and the statistical models generated have been shown to describe the observed phenomena. Exploratory testing photodegradation of the synthetic solution of methylene blue dye using the material bandgap of 4.17 eV indicate that the tested powder has influence on the reduction of dye concentration for tests carried out in pH 2 and 5 getting approximately 95% and 24 % conversion respectively, and the test at pH 9 it was noted that direct photolysis is more effective in reducing the dye concentration reached around 67% conversion, but the reaction process needs more study to better understand the results.

Realizou-se um planejamento experimental fatorial 2? com tr?s repeti??es no ponto central para avaliar a influ?ncia dos par?metros de s?ntese, pH (5, 7,5 e 10), taxa de aquecimento (5, 7 e 10 ?C.min-1) e tempo de calcina??o (3, 4 e 5 h), na forma??o da fase, no tamanho m?dio de cristalito e no band gap do material. Os p?s foram caracterizados atrav?s das an?lises TG/DSC, DRX, EDX, MEV e DRS-UV/Vis. Atrav?s da curva da an?lise TG/DSC, observou-se a decomposi??o dos org?nicos at? a temperatura de 600 ?C, temperatura a qual foi utilizada na calcina??o dos precursores. Os difratogramas dos p?s obtidos foram indexados com a ficha cristalogr?fica JCPDS (Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards) com c?digo de referencia 01-070-1382 de estrutura monocl?nica do tipo Scheelita e grupo espacial C2/c. N?o foram identificadas fases secund?rias. Os difratogramas foram refinados pelo m?todo Rietveld, onde foram obtidos os par?metros de rede e volume de c?lula unit?ria. As an?lises de EDX (% at?mica) mostram que h? desvios m?ximos de 15 e 10% entre as porcentagens at?micas te?ricas e experimentais de Ce e Mo, respectivamente. Atrav?s das imagens de MEV, observou-se que os p?s s?o formados por aglomerados de part?culas de tamanhos e formato heterog?neos, formando um material poroso. O estudo do tamanho de cristalito foi feito baseado na interpreta??o dos dados dos difratogramas. Utilizou-se os m?todos de Halder-Wagner-Langford (HWL) e de Scherrer, revelando tamanho m?dio de cristalitos variando entre 11,67 e 32,75 nm. As propriedades ?pticas das nanopart?culas foram avaliadas por meio da an?lise de DRS-UV/Vis atrav?s da qual foram medidos os band gap ?pticos que variaram entre 2,33 e 2,43 eV, caracter?stico de materiais semicondutores com potencial para aplica??es fotocatal?ticas utilizando a luz vis?vel como fonte de radia??o. O m?todo de s?ntese utilizado mostrou-se eficiente para produ??o de um material cristalino, monof?sico e de tamanho nanom?trico. Observou-se que a s?ntese realizada com pH 5, taxa de aquecimento de 5?C.min-1 e tempo de calcina??o de 3h se mostrou mais adequada para produ??o do material com as caracter?sticas desejadas de tamanho de cristalito e band gap. Os testes de fotocat?lise indicaram que o material sintetizado possui alto potencial de adsor??o do corante em pH 2, alcan?ando uma remo??o de quase 95% do corante em 30 minutos de contato, sem irradia??o de luz. O estudo do efeito da concentra??o de catalisador indicou que a diminui??o da concentra??o de molibdato de c?rio para 0,125 g.L-1 aumentou o potencial de remo??o de corante para 99% em 3 horas de rea??o. Observou-se ainda atrav?s dos testes fotocatal?ticos que a diminui??o da concentra??o do corante ocorreu pela adsor??o do azul de metileno na superf?cie do material sem degrada??o da mat?ria org?nica, dentro das condi??es experimentais adotadas. Os resultados de cin?tica de adsor??o indicaram que a adsor??o do azul de metileno nas part?culas de molibdato de c?rio pode ser descrita pelo modelo de pseudo-segunda ordem para as condi??es estudados no trabalho. / In this work, nanosized ceramic materials of scheelite family were synthesized, the cerium molybdate, through the combined complexing method EDTA-Citrate. It was conduced a 2? factorial design with three central points to evaluate the influence of synthesis parameters pH (5, 7.5 and 10), heating rate (5, 7 and 10 ? C min-1) and calcination time (3, 4, and 5 hr), on phase formation, the crystallite size and the band gap of the material. The powders were characterized by TG/DSC, XRD, EDX, SEM and DRS-UV/Vis analysis. Through TG/DSC curve, it was observed the decomposition of organics until 600 ?C, which this temperature was used in the calcination of the precursors. The XRD powders patterns were indexed to the crystallographic card JCPDS (Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards) n? 01-070-1382 of Scheelite type with monoclinic structure and space group C2/c. No secondary phases were identified. The XRD patterns were refined by Rietveld method, where the lattice parameters and unit cell volume were obtained. The EDX analysis (atomic %) show that there is maximum deviation of 15 and 10% on the theoretical and experimental atomic percentages of Ce and Mo, respectively. Through the SEM images, it was observed that the powders are formed by particles agglomerations of heterogeneous format and size, forming a porous material. The crystallite size study was done based on the interpretation of data from the XRD patterns. It was used the Halder-Wagner-Langford (HWL) and Scherrer methods, revealing average size of crystallites ranging between 11.67 and 32.75 nm. The optical properties of the nanoparticles were evaluated using the DRS-UV/Vis analysis whereby the optical band gap were measured ranging from 2.33 to 2.43 eV, classifying the material as a semiconductor with potential for photocatalytic applications using visible light as the radiation source. The synthesis method used was efficient for the production of a crystalline, nanosized and single phase material. It was observed that the synthesis performed at pH 5, heating rate of 5 ?C min-1, and calcination time of 3hr were more suitable for the production of materials with the desired characteristics of crystallite size and band gap. Photocatalysis tests indicated that the synthesized material has a high potential for dye adsorption at pH 2, achieving a removal of nearly 95% of the dye in 30 minutes of contact, without light irradiation. The study of the effect of catalyst concentration indicated that the decrease of concentration of cerium molybdate to 0,125 g.L-1 increased dye removal potential to 99% in 3 hours of reaction. It was also observed through the photocatalytic tests that the decrease in concentration of the dye occurred by methylene blue adsorption on the material surface without degradation of organic matter, within the experimental conditions. The adsorption kinetics results indicated that the adsorption of Methylene Blue on cerium molybdate particles can be described by the pseudo second-order model for the conditions studied in this work.

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. Ao se utilizar o m?todo de complexa??o combinando EDTA/Citrato foram produzidos p?s mesoporosos com maior pureza, cristalitos com at? 22nm de tamanho, 27,95m?/g de ?rea superficial e na forma de aglomerados com morfologia regular de placas. 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
