Abstract

A method of reducing target metal oxides and passivated metals to their metallic state. A reduction reaction is used, often combined with a flux agent to enhance separation of the reaction products. Thermal energy in the form of conventional furnace, infrared, or microwave heating may be applied in combination with the reduction reaction.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTINUOUSLY TREATING POWDER COMPOSITIONS SUCH AS POWDER METALS

Patent Humbert, J ; Dubuisson, J ; Moranville, C

A method and an apparatus are described for the continuous preparation of powder metals by reduction of a metal compound. The apparatus comprises a tubular casing adapted to receive a rigid column of stacked crucibles at one end for discharge from the other end and including gas seals, a furnace, and cooling units. In the method, a mixture of the metal oxide and a reducing agent, e.g., Ca, is pressed into cakes and each cake reacted by passing through the casing in a crucible. An example of the method is given in.'vhich U and Th powders were prepared by Camore »« less
C–O bond activation using ultralow loading of noble metal catalysts on moderately reducible oxides

Journal Article Fu, Jiayi ; Lym, Jonathan ; Zheng, Weiqing ; ... - Nature Catalysis

Selective C–O activation of multifunctional molecules is essential for many important chemical processes. Although reducible metal oxides are active and selective towards reductive C–O bond scission via the reverse Mars–van Krevelen mechanism, the most active oxides undergo bulk reduction during reaction. Here, motivated by the enhanced oxide reducibility by metals, we report a strategy for C–O bond activation by doping the surface of moderately reducible oxides with an ultralow loading of noble metals. We demonstrate the principle using highly dispersed Pt anchored onto TiO ₂ for furfuryl alcohol conversion to 2-methylfuran. A combination of density functional theory calculations, catalyst characterizationmore »« less

The effect of low and high temperature anneals on the hydrogen content and passivation of Si surface coated with SiO{sub 2} and SiN films

Journal Article Ebong, A ; Doshi, P ; Narasimha, S ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

A detailed comparison of the passivation quality and its dependence on the low and high temperature anneals is presented for various promising Si surface passivation schemes. The passivation schemes investigated in this study include: conventional furnace oxide (CFO), rapid thermal oxide (RTO), belt line oxide (BLO), plasma deposited oxide (PDO), SiN deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), CFO/SiN, RTO/SiN, BLO/SiN, PDO/SiN, and RTO/PDO. Passivated low resistivity (1 {Omega} cm) p-type silicon samples were subjected to three annealing treatments: (1) 400 C in forming gas (FGA), (2) 730 C in air, and (3) 850 C in air, to simulatemore »« less

Nitride passivation reduces interfacial traps in atomic-layer-deposited Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}/GaAs (001) metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors using atmospheric metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

Journal Article Aoki, T., E-mail: aokit@sc.sumitomo-chem.co.jp ; Fukuhara, N. ; Osada, T. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Using an atmospheric metal-organic chemical vapor deposition system, we passivated GaAs with AlN prior to atomic layer deposition of Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}. This AlN passivation incorporated nitrogen at the Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}/GaAs interface, improving the capacitance-voltage (C–V) characteristics of the resultant metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors (MOSCAPs). The C–V curves of these devices showed a remarkable reduction in the frequency dispersion of the accumulation capacitance. Using the conductance method at various temperatures, we extracted the interfacial density of states (D{sub it}). The D{sub it} was reduced over the entire GaAs band gap. In particular, these devices exhibited D{sub it} around the midgap ofmore »« less

System and method for regeneration and recirculation of a reducing agent using highly exothermic reactions induced by mixed industrial slags

Patent Nakano, Jinichiro ; Bennett, James P. ; Nakano, Anna

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for regenerating and recirculating a CO, H.sub.2 or combinations thereof utilized for metal oxide reduction in a reduction furnace. The reduction furnace receives the reducing agent, reduces the metal oxide, and generates an exhaust of the oxidized product. The oxidized product is transferred to a mixing vessel, where the oxidized product, a calcium oxide, and a vanadium oxide interact to regenerate the reducing agent from the oxidized product. The regenerated reducing agent is transferred back to the reduction furnace for continued metal oxide reductions.
