(27)Al NMR spectroscopy is a power tool for investigation of the aluminate species existing in both aqueous and non-aqueous solutions. Aluminum-27 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy also can be used to determine thermodynamic properties of complexes in the solution. In this report, (27)Al NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize species present in alkaline alcoholic aluminate solutions. (2-Hydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium (2-EHTMA) hydroxide was used as base. In solution of CH(3)OH and H(2)O in a mole ratio of 64:1 it was possible to detect five signals by aluminum-27 NMR, indicating formation of [Al(OH)(4-n)(CH(3)OH)(n)]((n-1)+) (n=0,1, 2, 3 and 4) species. Aluminum-27 NMR spectroscopy has also used for investigation of the species present in the ethanolic 2-HETMA aluminate solutions. The equilibrium constants for the formation of aluminate complexes were also determined for both methanolic and ethanolic aluminate solutions. Aluminum-27 NMR spectra of propanolic and butanolic 2-HETMA aluminate solutions were also studied.

Spinels are known for their enhanced photocatalytic activity which demonstrates as one of the promising solutions for the conversion of harmful organic dyes into simpler, less harmful molecules like CO and HO. In this study, spinel nickel aluminate, copper-doped nickel aluminate, and yttrium, copper co-doped nickel aluminate were synthesized using the sol-gel process with citric acid as a capping agent. The synthesized compounds were characterized by various techniques, including XRD, UV-DRS, XPS, and SEM-EDAX, and tested for their photocatalytic activity against the crystal violet dye under UV light.

This study aims to utilize secondary aluminum dross waste to synthesize Fe-Al layered double hydroxide (Fe-Al LDH) for efficient adsorption of arsenic from drinking water. The synthesis process was based on a multi-step hydrometallurgical approach, in which the aluminum content in the waste was first converted to sodium aluminate. This was followed by the transformation into Fe-Al LDH through a series of processes, including gelation, sol formation, simultaneous precipitation, and aging.

Short-wave infrared (SWIR) phosphor-converted light-emitting diode (LED) technology holds promise for advancing broadband light sources. Despite the potential, limited research has delved into the energy transfer mechanism from sharp-line to broadband emission in SWIR phosphors, which remains underexplored. Herein, we demonstrate bright SWIR phosphors achieved through Cr/Ni energy transfer in LiGaAl O.

High-strength wastewater containing elevated levels of chloride salt and N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent was collected from manufacturing of sunscreen cream (for UVA/UVB protection) at a cosmetic factory. In evaporation process, precipitates, formed due to the high chloride content (around 160 g/L), clog the pipeline, seriously reducing the treatment efficiency. This study aimed to develop a two-stage process integrating chemical precipitation and electrochemical oxidation to specifically remove the concentrated chloride salt and organic compounds (COD >100 g/L).

The goal of the presented work was to find the most favorable conditions for the synthesis and stabilization of chemically pure ettringite and monosulfate. The reaction was carried out by mixing pure tricalcium aluminate (CA) and gypsum (CS¯H) in an excess amount of water. The impact of hydration time (2-7 days), CA:CS¯ molar ratio (1:1-1:3) and water vapor pressure of the selected drying agents (anhydrite-III and supersaturated CaCl solution) on the phase composition of the products was evaluated.
