Calcium titanate (CaTiO 3 ) was combustion synthesized from a calcium source of waste duck eggshell, anatase titanium dioxide (A-TiO 2 ), and magnesium (Mg). e eggshell and A-TiO 2 were milled for 30 min in either a high-energy planetary mill or a conventional ball mill. ese powders were then separately mixed with Mg in a ball mill. After synthesis, the combustion products were leached and then sintered to produce CaTiO 3 ceramic. Analytical characterization of the as-leached combustion products revealed that the product of the combustion synthesis of duck eggshell + A-TiO 2 that had been high-energy-milled for 30 min before synthesis comprised a single perovskite phase of CaTiO 3 . e high-energy milling of the reactant powder had generated a large reactive surface area and induced structural defects, both of which drove the completion of the combustion reaction and the phase conversion of the reactants into the product. A calcium titanate ceramic, fabricated by sintering as-leached powdered combustion product at 1350°C for 180 min, achieved a maximum density of 3.65 g/cm 3 and a minimum porosity of 0.54%. e same fabricated calcium titanate ceramic product also exhibited the highest dielectric constant (∼78) and the lowest dielectric loss (∼0.02), which resulted from the simplified charge polarization process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
