A rapid (1.5 h) one-step ball milling (BM) method was developed not only to modify commercial MnO2 via top-down approaches (BM0), but also to bottom-up synthesize MnOx by cogrinding of KMnO4 and MnC4H6O4 (BM1) or KMnO4 and MnSO4 (BM2). Catalysts activity on gaseous POPs removal was tested using hexachlorobenzene (HCBz) as surrogate. Catalytic …

Here's one to add to the "weird mechanosynthesis" pile.According to this paper, you can do hydrogenation reactions in a stainless-steel ball mill, without any sort of noble-metal catalyst.The hydrogen is produced when you add some n-alkane or diethyl ether to the mix (these actually get converted to gaseous methane and hydrogen under the milling conditions).

Low-cost, high-yield production of graphene nanosheets (GNs) is essential for practical applications. We have achieved high yield of edge-selectively carboxylated graphite (ECG) by a simple ball milling of pristine …

The developed ball-milling method enabled large-scale synthesis, that over 4.7 g of Co-SNC can be produced in one pot. In benzylamine coupling reaction, Co-SNC exhibited the highest conversion of 97.5 % with 99 % selectivity toward N-benzylidenebenzylamine in 10 h among various Co catalysts.

High-energy ball milling was then performed in a Retsch Emax using stainless steel balls of 5 mm diameter and a vessel with a volume of 75 ml. The vessel was filled with a ball-to-powder ratio of 5:1 with milling carried out at 1000 rpm for 7 …

Perovskite La 0.6 Sr 0.4 CoO 3-δ was ball milled (BM LSC 1000) at various time periods and the effect of ball milling on structural and electrochemical characteristics were investigated. As the ball milling time increased, the particle size decreased and the surface area increased. Upon prolonged ball milling up to 48 hours, however, the particle size and surface …

Ball-milled powders showed higher values in the bulk density, angles of repose and slide, water solubility index and swelling capacity (P < 0.05), but lower values in the water-holding capacity and oil-holding capacity. The shape and surface morphology of the powders were changed after ball mill treatment.

The ball-milling of materials is a mechanical grinding method that has different effects on treated materials, and can be used for the direct synthesis of organometal halide perovskite (OHP) crystals. Herein, the effect of such a process, extended over a large temporal window, is related to the properties of referential three-dimensional (3D) MAPbI3 (MA = methylammonium) and two …

Ball milling is a way to exfoliate graphite using lateral force, as opposed to the Scotch Tape or sonication that mainly use normal force. Ball mills, like the three roll machine, are a common occurrence in industry, for the production of fine particles. During the ball milling process, there are two factors that contribute to the exfoliation.
