Concurrent grinding is shown to result in a significant increase in magnesite yields for non-heat activated feedstock, prepared such that fines (<20 µm particles) were excluded from the feed. We assert that concurrent grinding may be a suitable technique for the processing of feedstocks such as those containing significant proportions of forsterite and pyroxene, minerals which are unresponsive to thermal activation for use in aqueous mineral carbonation. This study also investigates the effect of different grinding media particle size on reducing the particle size distribution (PSD) of the feed. Optimum ratio of grinding media size to feed particle size, optimum grinding media and slurry concentrations, optimum time for grinding and optimum impeller designs are determined for the system under study. The quantitative effect of grinding media concentration, slurry concentration, pressure and temperature on magnesite yield has been investigated.]]> Wed 10 May 2023 14:51:12 AEST ]]> Insights into the dissolution kinetics of thermally activated serpentine for CO₂ sequestration https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34070 Wed 06 Feb 2019 09:51:32 AEDT ]]> Experimental study on the precipitation of magnesite from thermally activated serpentine for CO₂ sequestration https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25541 Wed 04 Sep 2019 10:18:36 AEST ]]> Pyrolysis of dieldrin and formation of toxic products: II: reaction mechanism https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33495 Tue 06 Nov 2018 10:02:35 AEDT ]]> Application of concurrent grinding in direct aqueous carbonation of magnesium silicates https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45566 Tue 01 Nov 2022 14:39:59 AEDT ]]> Pyrolysis of dieldrin and formation of toxic products https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32405 Thu 31 May 2018 09:12:08 AEST ]]> Application of a concurrent grinding technique for two-stage aqueous mineral carbonation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38534 Thu 28 Oct 2021 15:49:53 AEDT ]]> Nitridation of MoO₃/HZSM-5 and Fe-MoO₃/HZSM-5 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7692 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:33:33 AEDT ]]> The effect of catalyst modification on the conversion of glycerol to allyl alcohol https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21066 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:25 AEDT ]]> In situ investigation of the active catalyst for green direct benzene to phenol oxidation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5920 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:46:46 AEDT ]]> Formation of dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in oxidation of 2-chlorophenol over iron oxide/silica surface https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28939 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:27 AEDT ]]> Zeolite-supported iron catalysts for allyl alcohol synthesis from glycerol https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28112 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:58 AEDT ]]> Comparative study of the decomposition of CH₄ in a nonequilibrium plasma and under high temperature pyrolytic conditions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23788 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:16:26 AEDT ]]> Non-oxidative thermal decomposition of endosulfan https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23117 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:31 AEDT ]]> Magnitude of the deuterium kinetic isotope effect during the combustion of methane over a Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23115 (v) or D₂O(v) respectively, the rate of reaction decreases significantly in the presence of a high concentration of water vapour (ca 12,000 ppm) but the overall rate ratio, CH₄ / H₂O(v) vs CD₄ / D₂O(v) increases only slightly, to 3.2 ±0.6. This suggests that the effect of water vapour on the reaction rate is attributable to an equilibrium isotope effect (EIE) but under all reaction conditions studied at 270 °C, the rate limiting step involves methane activation.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:30 AEDT ]]> Non-oxidative thermal decomposition of endosulfan II.

The La(10)zeo(90) catalyst showed a conversion of OA up to 99 % with 83 % C15 and C17 selectivity after the reaction at 350 °C for 2 h under 4 MPa H2 pressure. The superior activity of La(10)zeo(90) was attributed to the synergistic interaction between La-Si-Al, a sufficient amount of weak + medium acid sites and excellent textural properties (large pore diameter). Larger pore diameter of La(10)zeo(90) is highly desirable as it will generate greater diffusion of bulky molecules, thereby improving the accessibility of the reactant and hence excellent catalytic activity. The vacuum distillation was used to purify the crude liquid product (CLP), producing high-quality diesel fractions mainly comprising C14, C15, and C17 fractions.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:39:08 AEDT ]]> Hydrodeoxygenation of fatty acid over La-modified HZSM5 for premium quality renewable diesel production https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47359 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:35:13 AEDT ]]> Dissolution of heat activated serpentine for CO2 sequestration: the effect of silica precipitation at different temperature and pH values https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47580 2) enables its subsequent reaction to form magnesium carbonate, a process called aqueous mineral carbonation. The dissolution rate of magnesium ions (Mg2+) from thermally activated serpentine and the factors influencing the rate and extent of dissolution have been studied in our research group. The current contribution focuses on the effect of temperature and pH on the dissolution of heat activated lizardite (a polymorph of serpentine). The extent of dissolution of thermally activated lizardite was measured experimentally as a function of temperature (25 °C≤T≤75 °C) and pH (1.2 ≤ pH≤9.8). It was found that at higher temperatures the level of Mg extraction is greater during the initial stage of dissolution but is then hindered by the re-precipitation of amorphous silica. Thermodynamic modelling was used to assess the susceptibility of solid phase formation and confirmed the likelihood of re-precipitation of amorphous silica from the solutions. For the first time, in this work, the crackling core model (CCM) was used to model experimental data at different pH values.]]> Mon 23 Jan 2023 14:14:29 AEDT ]]> Insights into chemical stability of Mg-silicates and silica in aqueous systems using <sup>25</sup>Mg and <sup>29</sup>Si solid-state MAS NMR spectroscopy: Applications for CO<inf>2</inf> capture and utilisation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49540 Mon 22 May 2023 08:45:16 AEST ]]> Effect of various operating parameters on the oxidative coupling of methane over Na₂WO₄Mn/SiO₂ catalyst with N₂O as an oxidant https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18678 Mon 20 Jul 2015 17:34:23 AEST ]]> Understanding selectivity and activity of redox catalysts for industrial and environmental applications https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18639 Mon 20 Jul 2015 16:45:24 AEST ]]> The utilisation of feed and byproducts of mineral carbonation processes as pozzolanic cement replacements https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37516 Mon 15 Feb 2021 11:37:42 AEDT ]]> 'ACEME': synthesis and characterization of reactive silica residues from two stage mineral carbonation process https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45508 Fri 28 Oct 2022 16:14:12 AEDT ]]> Structure of silica polymers and reaction mechanism for formation of silica-rich precipitated phases in direct aqueous carbon mineralization https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38019 29Si solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (29Si SS NMR), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to characterize carbonation products and to understand the mechanism of formation and the structure of silica-rich byproducts. Thermodynamic analysis predicts the formation of magnesite and amorphous silica in the process of direct aqueous carbonation of heat-activated lizardite under the experimental conditions studied. Characterization of carbonation products disclosed the presence of magnesite, amorphous silica, and magnesium silicate phases. Analysis of supernatant solutions obtained from direct aqueous carbonation by MALDI spectroscopy showed the presence of silica polymers, which precipitate during the carbonation experiments. The precipitated amorphous silica on the surface of reacting particles was found to subsequently adsorb the dissolved magnesium (Mg) from the solution to form a magnesium silicate phase.]]> Fri 23 Jul 2021 15:47:33 AEST ]]> Direct aqueous carbonation of heat activated serpentine: discovery of undesirable side reactions reducing process efficiency https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42229 Fri 19 Aug 2022 11:35:30 AEST ]]>
