In glass industry, the evolved gases and fumes from burning the gas fuel absorbed in calcium hydroxide to minimize the pollution of environment. After a period of time, the calcium hydroxide fouled with sulphate and carbonate as action of the absorbed SO and CO gases. Based on our interest to treatment the solid waste materials, this study intended to convert the obtained waste of calcium hydroxide fouled with gases to valuable products. Firstly, this waste was treated with water, caustic soda and acids. The results confirmed the conversion of waste to pure calcium sulfate by treatment with 6 v/v% sulfuric acid. Secondly, the obtained calcium sulfate was reacted with ammonium dihydrogen phosphate solution for preparation of calcium hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles. The produced HAp sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and N adsorption measurements. The obtained findings confirmed that the HAp can be produced after calcination at 700 °C, nanorods-like of sizes ranged from 11 to 15 nm and with main surface functional groups of hydroxyapatite. TGA and DTA data indicated that HAp is thermally stable up to 700 °C. Also, the obtained HAp has Ca/P molar ratio of 1.60 and exhibited high total surface area of 146 m/g with mesoporous structure which make this material can be used in medical and water purification applications.
在玻璃工业中,燃烧气体燃料产生的废气和烟雾被氢氧化钙吸收,以尽量减少对环境的污染。一段时间后,由于吸收的二氧化硫和二氧化碳气体的作用,氢氧化钙被硫酸盐和碳酸盐污染。基于我们对处理固体废料的兴趣,本研究旨在将获得的被气体污染的氢氧化钙废料转化为有价值的产品。首先,用去离子水、氢氧化钠和酸处理这种废料。结果证实,用6 v/v%的硫酸处理后,废料转化为纯硫酸钙。其次,将得到的硫酸钙与磷酸二氢铵溶液反应,制备羟基磷灰石(HAp)纳米颗粒。通过X射线衍射(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、热重分析(TGA)和氮吸附测量对制备的HAp样品进行了表征。所得结果证实,在700°C煅烧后可以生成HAp,其为尺寸范围在11至15nm的纳米棒状,并且具有羟基磷灰石的主要表面官能团。TGA和DTA数据表明,HAp在700°C以下是热稳定的。此外,所获得的HAp的钙/磷摩尔比为1.60,具有146 m²/g的高总表面积和介孔结构,这使得该材料可用于医疗和水净化应用。
