title: Preparation of mesostructured barium sulfate with high surface area by dispersion method and its characterization.
abstract: The spherical and cubic mesoporous BaSO(4) particles with high surface area were successfully produced via one-step process through precipitation reaction in aqueous solution of Ba(OH)(2) and H(2)SO(4) with ethylene glycol (n-HOCH(2)CH(2)OH) as a modifying agent. The BaSO(4) nanomaterial revealed that the high surface area and the mesoporous was stable up to 400 degrees C. Agglomerate mesoporous barium sulfate nanomaterials were obtained by the reaction of Ba(2+) and SO(2-)(4) with ethylene glycol aqueous solution. The ethylene glycol was used to control the BaSO(4) particle size and to modify the surface property of the particles produced from the precipitation. The dried and calcined mesoporous BaSO(4) nanomaterials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET surface area and N(2) adsorption-desorption isotherm, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared resonance (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The as-prepared mesoporous dried BaSO(4) possesses a high BET surface area of 91.56 m(2) g(-1), pore volume of 0.188 cm(3) g(-1) (P/P(0)=0.9849) and pore size of 8.22 nm. The SEM indicates that the morphology of BaSO(4) nanomaterial shows shell like particles up to 400 degrees C, after that there is drastically change in the material due to agglomeration. Synthesis of mesoporous BaSO(4) nanomaterial is of significant importance for both sulphuric acid decomposition and oxidation of methane to methanol.
