One-Step Synthesis of BaCO3 Nano-Particles via Mechano-Chemical Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Barium carbonate (BaCO3) nano-particles were synthesized from the mixture of Ba(OH)2.8H2O and Na2CO3 by mechano-chemical route without any subsequent heat treatment of the as-milled powders. Effects of milling time and addition of process control agents (PCA) on the phase composition and morphology of products have been investigated. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD results show that BaCO3 nano-particles were synthesized only after 10 minutes of mechanical milling and phase evolution was not taken place by further milling. SEM results indicated that pencil-like and globular-like were two major morphologies of the particles. Addition of stearic acid as a PCA resulted in homogenized globular-like nano-particles with a mean particle size of 54 nm.
