For the elemental analysis, it was necessary to dissolve a sample of each of the obtained precipitates (1 g) in a 1:1 solution of water-concentrated hydrochloric acid. The solutions were analyzed in a PerkinElmer Analyst 200 atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) to determine K, Fe and Cr. SO42− was determined by gravimetric analysis as BaSO4. The obtained solids were also analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) with a SIEMENS D-500 using Cu Kα radiation (1.54056 Å). Morphology of the solids was examined using a JEOL JSM-5900LV scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with a noran energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). The precipitates were also characterized using a Perkin Elmer–Frontier fourier transform infrared (FT–IR) spectrometer equipped with an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessory to confirm water in the crystal structure and to validate the presented formulae. The obtained precipitates were wet-sieved to separate them by particle size with the Tyler mesh size series (USA Standard Testing Sieve, ASTME-11 specifications). The used mesh sizes were the following: 120 (d0 ≥ 125 μm), 170 (125 < d0 ≥ 90 μm), 200 (90 < d0 ≥ 75 μm), 270 (75 < d0 ≥ 53 μm), 325 (53 < d0 ≥ 44 μm), 400 (44 < d0 ≥ 38), and 500 (38 < d0 ≥ 25 μm).

The exact surface was extracted from the BET estimation. The surface area was obtained from the measurement of the BET isotherm, while the pore volumes and the standard pore volumes were calculated at P/Po = 0.98 using the N2 adsorption isotherm. TGA was performed using a Shimadzu thermal gravimetric analyser (TGA-50) with a sample mass of 1 g at 25–600 °C in a nitrogen atmosphere with a 20 mL/min flow rate.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
