Profile image of Richard E RimanRichard E Riman

Abstract

In broad terms, hydrothermal synthesis is a technology for crystallizing materials (chemical compounds) directly from aqueous solution by adept control of thermodynamic variables (temperature, pressure and composition). The objective of this chapter is to introduce the field of hydrothermal materials synthesis and show how understanding solution thermodynamics of the aqueous medium can be used for engineering hydrothermal crystallization processes. In the first section, we will focus on hydrothermal synthesis as a materials synthesis technology by,providing history, process definitions, technological merits and comments on its current implementation in industry. In the second section, we will describe how thermodynamic modeling is being developed as an engineering tool to predict equilibrium phase assemblages and use this predictive power as an engineering tool for development of hydrothermal technology for materials synthesis.

Microwave-hydrothermal synthesis of ceramic powders
Q Li

Materials Research Bulletin, 1992

We report herein for the first time, the use of microwave-hydrothermal processing in catalyzing the synthesis of crystalline unary oxides such as TiO2, ZrO2 and Fe203 and binary oxides, such as KNbO3 and BaTiO3. While the combination of microwave and hydrothermal techniques has been used in the last few years to dissolve all kinds of powders (e.g. aluminosilicate rocks) rapidly for chemical analysis, we report here the use of this technique for synthesizing fine powders. A new layered alumina phase, which can be intercalated with ethylene glycol has also been synthesized. The effect of different parameters such as concentration of chemical species, time and temperature on the crystallization kinetics of the above phases has been investigated under microwave-hydrothermal conditions using microwaves of 2.45GHz frequency.

Thermodynamic Modeling of Hydroxyapatite Crystallization with Biomimetic Precursor Design Considerations
Richard E Riman

Chemistry of Materials, 2010

The objective of this paper is to present a hydroxyapatite synthesis biomimetic precursor paradigm and evaluate four precursor systems against its criteria. Thermodynamic modeling was used as a method of evaluation. The system that best fit the paradigm was experimentally validated by synthesizing inorganic powders over a range of reaction conditions and characterizing the reaction products through X-ray diffraction. The Ca(C 2 H 3 O 2) 2-K 3 PO 4-H 2 O system was found to best fit the paradigm and was effective in synthesizing hydroxyapatite as predicted by the yield diagram. On the basis of the findings of this diagram and its validation, it appears that thermodynamics largely governs the synthesis of hydroxyapatite in all these systems, making these equilibrium diagrams valuable for future research on hydroxyapatite crystallization.

Hydrothermal procedures : a challenge in the environmental production of nanomaterials
Roxana Piticescu

2007

Earth is a closed system and the energy and heat losses should be minimized to protect its biosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere. In this purpose an increasing number of scientists focused their efforts toward new materials less harmful for the humans and new environmental friendly processes for their fabrication [4]. Well known and established techniques like CVD, MOCVD, sputtering, MBE and other spraying techniques require high energy consumption and require special means to avoid environmental problems. Soft solution (or soft chemical) processing like hydrothermalelectrochemical methods, inspired by the nature, have a great potential in the development of morphology-controlled nanomaterials for a wide range of applications, from opto/microelectronics to automotive, catalysis and biomaterials for implants. The main advantages come from their low energy consumption (low temperatures in one-step process), reduced environmental impact, versatility in production of many n...

The crystallization process of HfO2 and ZrO2 under hydrothermal conditions
Goran Štefanić, Krešimir Molčanov

Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2005

Hydrothermal crystallization of hydrous hafnia at 90 and 120 • C, was monitored at pH 3, 7, 9.5 and 13, using X-ray powder diffraction analyses. The obtained results showed that hydrothermal crystallization proceeded much more slowly in a neutral pH medium than in an acidic or alkaline medium. Phase analysis of the products of hydrothermal treatment showed that, regardless of pH, hydrous hafnia crystallized into m-HfO 2 . Stabilization of a metastable cubic or tetragonal HfO 2 occurred upon adding a sufficient amount of stabilizing Na + ions. Similarities and differences between the hydrothermal crystallization of HfO 2 and the hydrothermal crystallization reported for ZrO 2 were discussed. It was concluded that in both cases hydrothermal crystallization proceeds via a dissolution/precipitation mechanism in the whole pH range.

Nanostructured ceramic powders by hydrothermal synthesis and their applications
Cengiz Kaya

Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, 2002

Nanoparticles of 3:2 mullite ð3Al 2 O 3 Á 2SiO 2 Þ þ 5 wt.% zirconia, boehmite (c-AlOOH) and pure ZrO 2 suitable for applications in the field of monolithic/fibre reinforced ceramic composites, nanoceramics and ceramic fibre coating, respectively, have been produced by hydrothermal synthesis (HS) at moderately low temperatures. The effect of the process parameters or starting precursor materials properties on the particle size, shape and structure have been examined by particle size measurements, TEM and scanning electron microscopy. The mullite powders synthesised tend to be highly irregular in morphology with a wide particle size distribution from 55 nm to 7.1 lm, whereas the boehmite (c-AlOOH) particle morphology and size are determined by the pH value of the initial hydrothermal solution. As the pH changes from low (acid) to high (alkaline), the boehmite morphology changes from a ''needle-like'' one to a ''platelet'' one. At a pH value of 10, the boehmite particles exhibit platelet morphologies, with a maximum face dimension of about 40 nm and a thickness of approximately 5 nm. The synthesised boehmite particles were successfully used to produce monolithic alumina components at lower sintering temperatures with sub-micrometer grain sizes. Near-spherical shape monoclinic zirconia particles with dimensions in the range of 20-60 nm were also produced by HS. The successful application of the synthesised powders in the field of mesoporous fibre-reinforced ceramic composites, high-density monolithic ceramics and ceramic fibre coatings (formation of weak inter-phase between fibre and matrix) are also presented.

Hydrothermal technology for nanotechnology
Prof.k.byrappa K.

Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of …, 2007

The importance of hydrothermal technology in the preparation of nanomaterials has been discussed in detail with reference to the processing of advanced materials for nanotechnology. Hydrothermal technology in the 21st century is not just confined to the crystal growth or leaching of metals, but it is going to take a very broad shape covering several interdisciplinary branches of science. The role of supercritical water and supercritical fluids has been discussed with appropriate examples. The physical chemistry of hydrothermal processing of advanced materials and the instrumentation used in their preparation with respect to nanomaterials have been discussed. The synthesis of monodispersed nanoparticles of various metal oxides, metal sulphides, carbon nanoforms (including the carbon nanotubes), biomaterials, and some selected composites has been discussed. Recycling, waste treatment and alteration under hydrothermal supercritical conditions have been highlighted. The authors have discussed the perspectives of hydrothermal technology for the processing of advanced nanomaterials and composites.

Hydrothermal Synthesis of Advanced Ceramic Powders
Richard Riman

Advances in Science and Technology, 2006

This paper briefly reviews hydrothermal synthesis of ceramic powders and shows how understanding the underlying physico-chemical processes occurring in the aqueous solution can be used for engineering hydrothermal crystallization processes. Our overview covers the current status of hydrothermal technology for inorganic powders with respect to types of materials prepared, ability to control the process, and use in commercial manufacturing. General discussion is supported with specific examples derived from our own research (hydroxyapatite, PZT, -Al2O3, ZnO, carbon nanotubes). Hydrothermal crystallization processes afford excellent control of morphology (e.g., spherical, cubic, fibrous, and plate-like) size (from a couple of nanometers to tens of microns), and degree of agglomeration. These characteristics can be controlled in wide ranges using thermodynamic variables, such as reaction temperature, types and concentrations of the reactants, in addition to non-thermodynamic (kinetic) v...

Thermodynamic modeling of hydrothermal synthesis of ceramic powders
Richard E Riman

Chemistry of materials, 1993

A thermodynamic method is proposed for analyzing the hydrothermal synthesis of ceramic materials. The method utilizes standard-state thermodynamic data for solid and aqueous species and a comprehensive activity coefficients model to represent solution nonideality. The method is used to generate phase stability diagrams for the species that predominate in the system. The stability diagrams can be used to predict the optimum suspension synthesis conditions (i.e., feedstock composition, pH and temperature) for hydrothermal synthesis of ceramic materials. The synthesis of barium titanate (BaTiOds)) and lead titanate (PbTiOds)) are discussed as examples. In the case of the synthesis of BaTiOds), which can be obtained at temperatures as low as 363 K, it is important to use solutions of appropriate pH. Practical techniques have been suggested to maintain the required pH by using a correct molar ratio of feedstocks, such as barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)z(s)) to titanium dioxide (TiOz(s)) or use of a mineralizer such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH(s)). It has been shown that contact with atmospheric carbon dioxide (COp(g)) will always lead to the contamination of the product with barium carbonate (BaC03-(8)). Also, a low-temperature synthesis of PbTiOds) has been proposed.
