It is necessary for us for further understand the crystallization process mechanism and the factors effect on the crystallization. In the present paper, the crystallization characteristic, composition and crystal phase type of yttrium carbonates or ammonium yttrium carbonates precipitated from yttrium chloride solution using ammonium bicarbonate as precipitant were determined by chemical analysis, X ray powder diffraction and the pH situ determination. It was found that the crystal phase type was dominated by the feed molar ratio of ammonium bicarbonate to yttrium chloride, and the crystallization speed and the crystal composition were also influenced by temperature, feed manner and aging period etc. When precipitating and aging under lower temperature, crystallization is easy to take place in the high feed molar ratio zone, and when increasing temperature, crystallization will take place both in lower and higher feed molar ratio zones. The results show that spherical yttrium carbonate with tengerite type crystal phase can be formed within the temperature 30～70℃ when feed molar ratio of ammonium bicarbonate to yttrium chloride is less than 4, and that a rhombus flake crystal, which possesses the composition of ammonium yttrium quasi double carbonate and a new XRD pattern, is formed when the feed molar ratio is over 4. Their compositions can be represented as (NH4)aY(CO3)b(OH)c·nH2O, a< 1, 1< b< 2, c=3+a-2b. A fine crystal of ammonium yttrium double carbonate with the formula of (NH4)Y(CO3)2·H2O can also be obtained as using an enough amount of ammonium bicarbonate and aging enough time.展开更多

The effects of Ce/Zr molar ratio, milling time and calcining temperature on the phase composition, particle size and morphology, surface charge, as well as the polishing property were investigated. The results show that the mixed oxide calcined at 1 000 ℃ is composed of cubic ceria doped with zirconium and tetragonal zirconia doped with cerium, and the phase composition varies with calcination temperature and the Ce/Zr molar ratio. The monoclinic zirconia is observed when decreasing calcination temperature and shortening milling time, demonstrating that milling and calcining can force the phase transformation from monoclinic zirconia to cerium stabilized tetragonal zirconia and zirconium doped cubic ceria solid solutions. The removal rate for the optical glass polishing varies with Ce/Zr molar ratio. A synergetic polishing effect is found when Ce/Zr molar ratio below 4, and the optimal Ce/Zr molar ratio is 1∶1. At the same time, the cubic ceria content, density, particle size and surface charge all increase when calcination temperature increasing from 800 ℃ to 1 100 ℃. However, the particle morphology changes from disperse quasi-sphere to irregular aggregation and the maximal removal rate for optical glass polishing lies at 1 000 ℃.These facts show that the polishing property of the synthesized ceria-zirconia mixed oxide is affected by the particle physical characteristics comprehensively.展开更多

The effects of pyrolysis temperature on the particle size, morphology, specific surface area and loose packing density of ceria were investigated, and the removal rate of optical glasses polishing by ceria was determined. The results show that with the increase of pyrolysis temperature, the loose deposit density and crystallinity increases and the specific surface area decreases, however, the particle size decreases firstly and then increases, the minimum medium particle size D50 is 0.47 μm at pyrolysis temperature of 1 000 ℃. The SEM images of ceria prepared by the decomposition at 800 ℃ or at 1 100 ℃ show porous powders or quasi-sphere small particles with loosely agglomeration, respectively. It was found that the removal rate varied with pyrolysis temperature in preparation of ceria and the property of glass polished. The removal rate for three kinds of glasses was in the order of ZF7> F1> K9, and the maximum value appeared at around 1 000 ℃ for ZF7 and F1, and at around 1 100 ℃ for K9.展开更多
