Item Efficient retention of fluorides using SBA-3mesoporous Material.(Univesidsad Tecnológica Nacional, 2022) Cussa, Jorgelina; López , Claudia; Anunziata, Oscar Alfredo; Anunziata, Oscar AlfredoHighly ordered pore mesoporous silica composites, like SBA-3 and hydroxyapatite (HaP) nanocrystals, characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and textural properties, were successfully applied to remove fluoride from contaminated water. The proposed procedure to prepare HaP/SBA-3 was successful, which acts as supports to anchor the HaP crystals, in nanometer-scale (<2 nm), with higher fluoride retention from contaminated water. The free OH- groups of HaP nanocrystals, within the host, facilitated the high-performance fluoride trapping. The fluoride retention activity was much higher than that of pure HaP and the composites HaP/SBA-15 and HaP/MCM-41.Item Synthesis and characteristics of CMK-3 modified with magnetite nanoparticles for application in hydrogen storage(2022) Juárez, Juliana María; Cussa, Jogelina; Anunziata, Oscar Alfredo; Gómez Costa, Marcos BrunoIn this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of iron oxide nanoparticles supported in nanostructured carbon (CMK-3). This material is promising in the application of hydrogen adsorption for energy storage. The material with iron oxide nano- particles (Fe-CMK-3) was successfully synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, textural properties analysis, transmission and scanning electron microsco- py, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and magnetiza- tion studies. A large amount of the iron incorporated as iron oxide nanoparticles was in the magnetite phase. The incorporation of magnetite on the CMK-3 carbon surface significantly improved the storage capacity of hydrogen (4.45 wt% at 77 K and 10 bar) compared with the CMK-3 framework alone (2.20 wt% at 77 K and 10 bar). The synthesized material is promising for hy- drogen adsorption by weak bond forces (physisorption). A hydrogen adsorption mechanism was proposed in which the nanoparticles of magnetite have an important role.
