INDUSTRIAL METHOD FOR PRODUCING DISPERSION-STRENGTHENED IRON-BASED MATERIALS AT LOW COST AND IN LARGE-SCALE

Номер: US20130236349A1

The invention provides an industrial method for producing dispersion-strengthened iron-based materials at low cost and in large-scale. The industrial acid pickling waste solution is treated by spray roasting process after yttrium chloride is added. During the spray roasting process, the solution is atomized into fine droplets, the droplets are contacted with gas and dried into powders, which are heated in air to form metal oxides. The mixed powders of the metal oxides are reduced in hydrogen stream to obtain yttria dispersion-strengthened iron powders. High performance dispersion-strengthened iron materials are obtained by densifying the yttria dispersion-strengthened iron powders. The method has simple process and low cost, and is suitable for large-scale production due to the direct use of acid pickling waste solution from steel factory. 1.

CONTINUOUS PROCESS FOR NANOMATERIAL SYNTHESIS FROM SIMULTANEOUS EMULSIFICATION AND DETONATION OF AN EMULSION

Номер: US20130251623A1
Принадлежит: INNOVNANO-MATERIAIS AVANÇADOS, S.A.

The present invention refers to a continuous process for in secco nanomaterial synthesis from the emulsification and detonation of an emulsion. The said process combines the simultaneous emulsification and detonation operations of the emulsion, thus assuring a production yield superior to 100 kg/h. When guaranteeing that the sensitization of the emulsion occurs mainly upon its feeding into the reactor, it is possible to avoid the accumulation of any class-1 substances along the entire synthesis process, thus turning it into an intrinsically safe process. Afterwards, dry collection of the nanomaterial avoids the production of liquid effluents, which are very difficult to process. Given that there's neither accumulation nor resort to explosive substances along the respective stages, the process of the present invention becomes a safe way of obtaining nanomaterial, thus allowing it to be implemented in areas wherein processes with hazardous substance aid are not allowed. 1. A continuous process for nanomaterial synthesis from the detonation of at least one emulsion , comprising the following steps:a) preparing a synthesis emulsion, containing nanomaterial precursors, from the emulsification of two immiscible phases—internal and external; andb) simultaneously sensitizing, igniting and detonating the emulsion at pressures from 50,000 to 115,000 bar.2.

BORON DOPED MANGANESE ANTIMONIDE AS A USEFUL PERMANENT MAGNET MATERIAL

Номер: US20150110662A1

Permanent magnets are used for several important applications, including de electrical motors, wind turbines, hybrid automobile, and for many other applications. Modern widely used rare-earth based permanent magnet materials, such as Sm—Co and Nd—Fe—B, are generally intermetallic alloys made from rare earth elements and transition metals such as cobalt. However, the high costs of rare earth elements make the widespread use of these permanent magnets commercially unattractive. The present work focuses on producing a new permanent magnet material, with good magnetic properties, which is free from rare-earth elements and thus cost-effective. The present invention provides a process to synthesis boron doped manganese antimonide as an alternative to rare earth based permanent magnet materials. The boron doped manganese antimonide disclosed in this invention is free from rare-earth element with good magnetic properties. The material in the present study has been synthesized employing sequential combination of high energy ball milling, arc melting under argon atmosphere and again high energy ball milling followed by annealing. The annealed boron doped manganese antimonide shows improved magnetic properties as compared to manganese antimonide. 1. Boron doped manganese antimonide as a permanent magnet material comprising 46.5-47 wt. % of Manganese (Mn) , 51.5-52 wt. % of antimony (Sb) and Boron (B) doping in the range 1.0-1.8 wt. %.2.
