Reaction Steps

A solution was prepared by dissolving 6.09 g of Sr(NO3)2, 31.17 g of La(NO3)3.5.69H2O, 11.09 g of Cu(NO3)2.2.5H2O, 53.31 g of Fe(NO3)3.9H2O, 0.14 g of KNO3, and 5.51 g of Al(NO3)3.9H2O in 300 mL H2O along with 61.05 g of glycine and 16.27 g of NH4NO3. This solution was placed in a 4 L stainless steel beaker and a funnel shrouded at the mouth by a wire screen placed into the beaker. Air was delivered to the mixture via the funnel neck using an air pump. The beaker was heated using a hot plate and the solvent driven off, resulting in a thickened mixture which eventually ignited, producing flames, an ash, and a fine dust. The ash and any powdered remnant of it were attrition ground for 16 hours at 400 rpm using a planetary attrition mill. The resulting powder was sieved through a 100 mesh screen.
