| 20090208405 | PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING PREFLUXED METAL OXIDE FROM METAL HYDROXIDE AND METAL CARBONATE PRECURSORS - A method for producing prefluxed metal oxide from a metal salt selected from nickel hydroxide, cobalt hydroxide, mixed nickel-cobalt hydroxide, nickel carbonate, cobalt carbonate, mixed nickel-cobalt carbonate and combinations thereof includes providing a mixture of at least one slag making oxide and a metal salt selected from the group consisting of nickel hydroxide, cobalt hydroxide, mixed nickel-cobalt hydroxide, nickel carbonate, cobalt carbonate, mixed nickel-cobalt carbonate and combinations thereof, blending with a binder, blending in a flux additive to form a slag-making mixture, forming the slag-making mixture into prefluxed agglomerates, and calcining the prefluxed agglomerates to produce a prefluxed metal oxide. An agglomerate is provided which includes a metal salt selected from nickel hydroxide, cobalt hydroxide, mixed nickel-cobalt hydroxide, nickel carbonate, cobalt carbonate, mixed nickel-cobalt carbonate and combinations thereof, a slag making oxide, and a flux additive. An agglomerate is provide which includes a metal oxide selected from nickel oxide and cobalt oxide, and slag, wherein the metal oxide is encapsulated in the slag. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090324486 | Fabrication of NiO nanoparticles and chip-like nanoflakes by solvothermal technique - A method is disclosed for fabrication of NiO nanoparticles and NiO chip-like nanoflakes by solvothermal technique. Mixed organic alcohols were used as solvent to make a homogenous solution from a nickel containing salt (or complex) for production of NiO nanoparticles and chip-like nanoflakes. The solution was heated in a sealed flask sitting inside a warm furnace. The precipitate was filtered, rinsed, dried and calcined to produce nanoparticles or nanoflakes. The size of the particles was controllable by heating time and temperature. Similar procedures were used for production of both nanostructures except hydrogen peroxide addition to the initial solution for NiO chip-like nanoflakes fabrication. | 12-31-2009 |
