Effect of Calcination Temperature on the Structure of Nano Magnesium Oxide

Magnesium oxide is the most important product in the industry. It is used as a support ofcatalyst. Recently, in the domain of catalysis, nano magnesium oxide has gained a respectablestatus as catalyst [1]. It showed a strongly basic property that associates with the basecatalysis in many reactions, since nanoscale supports create catalysts with more edges andcorners, which can lead to higher performance of the catalyst. Many methods have beenexplored in order to get nano crystalline powders with high surface area [2].In this study, we have investigated the temperature effect on size, surfaced area and pore ofMgO prepared and selected the best sample as a support for ammonia synthesis
