K4Nb6O17,15 KLaNb2O7,16 RbCa2Ta3O10,17 LiTaO3,18 NaTaO318 and KTaO318 were prepared by a solid-state reaction, as previously reported. The starting materials used were as follows: Li2CO3 (Wako Pure Chemical; 99.0%), Na2CO3 (Kanto Chemical; 99.0%), K2CO3 (Kanto Chemical; 99.5%), Rb2CO3 (Kojundo Chemical; 99%), CaCO3 (Kanto Chemical; 99.5%), La2O3 (Kanto Chemical; 99.99%), Nb2O5 (Kojundo Chemical; 99.95%) and Ta2O5 (Rare Metallic; 99.99%). K2La2Ti3O1019 was prepared using a polymerized complex method. The precursor was obtained from K2CO3 (Kanto Chemical; 99.5%), Ti(OC4H9)4 (Kanto Chemical; 97%), La(NO3)3 (Kanto Chemical; 99.99%), ethylene glycol (Kanto Chemical; 99.5%) and citric acid (Sigma Aldrich; 99.5%) by pyrolysis and was calcined at 1173 K for 2 h in air using an alumina crucible. CuCl was freshly prepared by reduction of CuCl2 (Wako Pure Chemical; 99.0%) with metallic Cu in boiling dilute hydrochloric acid. The molten CuCl treatment was carried out by immersing the prepared photocatalysts in molten CuCl at 773 K for 10 h in a quartz ampoule tube under vacuum. After the molten salt treatment, the excess CuCl was removed using an aqueous NH3 solution.

Calcium Carbonate Production from Calcium Silicate

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GLDA tetrasodium salt (GLDA-4Na, C9H9NNa4O8) solutions with different concentrations were prepared by mixing the initial GLDA-4Na solution (40 wt% in water, Tokyo Chemical Industry, Japan) with Milli-Q water, and pH was adjusted from an initial value of 13.8–~9.0 through the addition of aqueous HNO3 (60–61%, Kanto Chemical, Japan). This weakly alkaline pH was used at the beginning of the Ca extraction process to minimize the cost of pH regulation, as subsequent CaCO3 precipitation requires alkaline environments (pH > 8)32 (link),33 (link). High-purity commercial calcium silicate powders (Fig. 2, < 30 µm) with a general composition of CaSiO3 (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Japan) were used as a Ca source to represent silicate minerals. Na2CO3 (>99.0%, Kanto Chemical, Japan), NaHCO3 (> 99.0%, Kanto Chemical, Japan), and CO2 gas (> 99.995 vol.%, Taiyo Nippon Sanso, Japan) were used as CO2 sources to optimize the CaCO3 production system.

After the extraction processes, the anion and cation concentrations of each fraction were measured by ion chromatography (IC), using the Metrohm 930 Compact IC Flex system (Metrohm AG, Herisau, Switzerland). For cations, the samples were eluted through a Metrohm Metrosep C6-250/4.0 column with 8 mM ultrapure HNO3 (TAMAPURE AA-100, Tama Chemical, Kawasaki, Japan) at a flow rate of 0.9 mL·min−1. Anions were measured with a Metrohm Metrosep A Supp4-250/4.0 column with a chemical suppressor module. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of 1.8 mM Na2CO3 and 1.7 mM NaHCO3 (Kanto Chemical, Tokyo, Japan) at a flow rate of 0.9 mL·min−1. A chemical suppressor module (Metrohm MSM) was used to decrease the background conductivity of the eluent and to transform the analytes into free anions. The column temperature was set at 35 °C throughout the analysis. Detection of cations and anions was accomplished by measuring electrical conductivity.

Characterization of SiO2-Al2O3-Na2CO3-K2CO3 Glass

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The glass samples were prepared using SiO2 (MORIMURA, 99.5%), Al2O3 (Kanto Chemical, 99.0%), Na2CO3 (Kanto Chemical, 99.8%) and K2CO3 (Kanto Chemical, 99.5%) reagents. After mixing the ingredients, it was melted in a platinum crucible at 1823 K for an hour at air condition using a heating rate of 10 K/min. The sample was annealed at temperature higher than the glass transition temperature in 50 K for an hour, followed by a cooling to room temperature with a quenching rate of 1 K/min.
The density of the obtained glass sample was measured by Archimedes method and the glass transition temperature was determined by measuring the thermal expansion using a thermo-mechanical analyzer (TMA; TD5000SA). For the electrical resistivity measurement, an aluminum deposited glass sample with 50 × 50 × 4 mm size was prepared, then the resistance was measured at 323 to 473 K. According to the resistance-temperature dependence, the resistivity was determined by assuming the Arrhenius equation.

P2‐type Na0.6Li0.2Mn0.8O2 powder was synthesized through a solid‐state reaction with Na2CO3 (Kanto chemical), Li2CO3 (Alfa Aesar), and Mn2O3 (Sigma Aldrich) as the metallic precursors. Accurate stoichiometric amounts of the precursor powders, without excess Na or Li sources, were homogeneously mixed via ball milling with acetone. After drying at 65 °C for 2 h, the powder mixture was heat‐treated in air at 900 °C for 10 h and was naturally allowed to cool to room temperature. To avoid unfavorable side reactions with the ambient atmosphere and moisture, the synthesized powder was transferred to an argon‐filled glove box after the heat treatment.

Preparation of Rh-or Ir-doped metal oxide photocatalysts SrTiO 3 :Rh(1%), 29 SrTiO 3 :Ir(0.2%), 22 TiO 2 :Rh(x%),Sb(2x%) (x ¼ 0.5 or 1.3), 25 NaTaO 3 :Ir(1%),La(2%), 24 BaTa 2 O 6 :Ir(1%),La(2%) 23 and BiVO 4 26, 27 were prepared by a solid-state reaction, a borate-ux method, and a liquid-solid reaction according to previous reports. In addition to them, NaNbO 3 :Rh(x%),Ba(y%) (x, y) ¼ (1.2, 1.44) or (1.0, 2.0) was newly prepared by a solid-state reaction. The starting materials, Na 2 CO 3 (Kanto Chemical; 99.5 or 99.8%), Nb 2 O 5 (Kanto Chemical; 99.99% or Kojundo Chemical; 99.99%), Rh 2 O 3 (Wako Chemical; 98%), and BaCO 3 (Kanto Chemical; 99%), were mixed at a molar ratio of Na/Nb/Rh/Ba ¼ 1.05-1.05y : 1 À x : x : y. An excess of sodium was added in the starting materials to compensate for volatilization. The starting materials mixture was calcined at 1173 K for 1 h, and then 1423-1473 K for 10 h once or twice. The excess sodium was washed out with water aer the calcination. The obtained powders had nonspecic shapes with aggregations, judging from the SEM images (Jeol; JSM-6700F) (Fig. S1 †). The obtained samples were identied using X-ray diffraction (Rigaku; MiniFlex, Cu Ka). Diffuse reectance spectra were obtained by a UV-vis-NIR spectrometer (JASCO, V-570) equipped with an integrator sphere and were converted to absorbance measurements via the Kubelka-Munk method.

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.
