In this paper, we present an approach and investigation on the evolution of the icosahedral and decagonal phases of quasicrystalline alloys Al 62 . 2 Cu 25 . 3 Fe 12 . 5 E Al 65 Ni 15 Co 20 , the oxidation behavior in them. The quantification of the quasicrystalline and crystalline phases present in the quasicrystals provides important information in the mass transport by diffusion, as well as the phase transformations that occurred. For this purpose, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld Method Quantification, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) / Dispersive Energy Spectroscopy (EDS), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis). The results showed structural aspects of the two compositions of quasicrystals, these were elaborated and obtained in an arc induction furnace. The oxidation of the alloy Al 62 . 2 Cu 25 . 3 Fe 12 . 5 showed intermetallic phases with associations of the elements of the alloy and above 735 °C was observed that the crystalline phase is stable in the icosahedral phase. The quasicrystals Al 65 Ni 15 Co 20 , with the interaction of oxygen, happens in the surface of symmetry 10 times plane perpendicular vector. The formation of a thin film of the aluminum oxide with a well ordered hexagonal shape structure, with a domain opposite the decagonal phase with lateral size at about 35 Å.
Este trabalho mostra o bom desempenho do quasicristal Al 62,2 Cu 25,3 Fe 12,5 como catalisador em reações catalíticas. Este catalisador metálico sem ser lixiviado com ácido ou base, a seco com composição estequiométrica de Al 62,2 Cu 25,3 Fe 12,5 revelou dentre as reações ocorrida haver uma oxidação parcial; cuja formação dos produtos foram metanol, metanal+ácido metanóico, água e éter dimétilico. Para esta pesquisa utilizou de técnicas experimentais como a Difração de Raios-X (DRX) para acompanhar a evolução das fases da liga, a Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura (MEV) que permite o estudo de microestrutura de superfície, e a Microscopia Eletrônica de Transmissão (MET), estuda a morfologia de fases internas, núcleos quasicristalinos e defeitos; os testes catalíticos para conversão e seletividade de metanol e produtos formados a partir deste material usado como catalisador. A atividade e estabilidade do catalisador de quasicristal para a reformação do vapor de metanol mostrou uma desempenho suficiente em comparação aos demais catalisadores. As espécies Fe e Cu altamente dispersa na camada homogênea do catalisador quasicristal aumentam a atividade catalítica e suprime a agregação de Cu partículas. Neste artigo, se propusemos em analisar o quasicristal, como um bom catalisador para ser usado na reação de reforma a vapor, com elevada atividade catalítica e a excelente estabilidade térmica. ResumoThis study shows a good performance of quasicrystal Al 62,2 Cu 25,3 Fe 12,5 as catalyst in catalytic reactions. This metal catalyst, without being leached with acid or base, with dry stoichiometric composition, Al 62,2 Cu 25,3 Fe 12,5 is revealed among the reactions which occurred to be a partial oxidation; and promoted the formation of products: methanol, methanal + methanoic acid, water and dimethyl ether. For this research were used such experimental techniques as X-ray Diffraction (XRD to follow the evolution of the alloy phase, the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) that provides the study of surface microstructure, and Transmission Electron Microscopy (MET). All these techniques study the morphology of the internal phase, and defect a quasicrystalline nucleus. Catalytic tests of methanol conversion and selectivity intermediate products were obtained using this catalyst quasicrystal. The
