Geopolymer Paste

The production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) consumes considerable amount of natural resources, energy and at the same time contribute in high emission of CO2 to the atmosphere. A new material replacing cement as binder called geopolymer is alkali-activated concrete which are made from fly ash, sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The alkaline solution mixed with fly ash producing alternative binder to OPC binder in concrete named geopolymer paste. In the process, NaOH was fully dissolved in water and cooled to room temperature. This study aims to eliminate this process by using NaOH in solid form together with fly ash before sodium silicate liquid and water poured into the mixture. The amount of NaOH solids were based on 10M concentration. The workability test is in accordance to ASTM C230. Fifty cubic mm of the geopolymer paste were prepared which consists of fly ash to alkaline solution ratio of 1: 0.5 and the curing regime of 80℃ for 24 hours with 100% humidity were implemented. From laboratory test, the workability of dry method geopolymer paste were decreased. The compressive strength of the dry mix of NaOH showed 55% and the workability has dropped to 58.4%, it showed strength reduction compared to the wet mix method.

Weakly Acidic Solution

The technological (deposition rate, coating composition) and functional (surface roughness, microhardness) characteristics of chemical composite coatings Ni—Cu—P—Cr2O3 obtained from weakly acidic and slightly alkaline solutions are compared. It is shown that coatings deposited from slightly alkaline solution contain slightly less phosphorus and chromium oxide than coatings deposited from weakly acid solution (2...3 % wt. phosphorus and up to 3.4 % wt. chromium oxide), formed at higher rate (24...25 microns per 1 hour of deposition at temperature of 80 °C), are characte rized by lower roughness and increased microhardness. The Vickers microhardness at 0.05 N load of composite coatings obtained from slightly alkaline solution and heat-treated at 400 °C for 1 hour is 13.5...15.2 GPa, which is higher than values for coatings deposited made of weakly acidic solution. The maximum microhardness of coatings is achieved at concentration 20 g/l of Cr2O3 particles. The technology of chemical deposition of Ni—Cu—P—Cr2O3 coatings formed in slightly alkaline solution is promising for obtaining of materials with increased hardness and wear resistance.

The quaternary pyridinium salts Ia-Ic react with alkaline solution of potassium ferricyanide to give the condensed heterocyclic derivatives IIIa, b, IV, whereas the salts Id-If give the pyrrole derivatives IIa-IIc under the same conditions. The diaza heterocycle IIIa reacts with methyl iodide to give methoiodide V, whereas by action of bromine it produces two monobromo derivatives VIa, b. The pyrrole derivatives IIa, b give monobromo derivatives IId, e on bromination. A probable mechanism of formation of the heterocyclic derivatives is discussed.

Hydrophobic Coating

The influence of different wettability on explosive boiling exhibits a significant distinction, where the hydrophobic surface is beneficial for bubble nucleation and the hydrophilic surface enhances the critical heat flux. Therefore, to receive a more suitable surface for the explosive boiling, in this paper a hybrid hydrophobic–hydrophilic nanostructured surface was built by the method of molecular dynamics simulation. The onset temperatures of explosive boiling with various coating thickness, pillar width, and film thicknesses were investigated. The simulation results show that the hybrid nanostructure can decrease the onset temperature compared to the pure hydrophilic surface. It is attributed to the effect of hydrophobic coating, which promotes the formation of bubbles and causes a quicker liquid film break. Furthermore, with the increase of the hydrophobic coating thickness, the onset temperature of explosive boiling decreases. This is because the process of heat transfer between the liquid film and the hybrid nanostructured surface is inevitably enhanced. In addition, the onset temperature of explosive boiling on the hybrid wetting surface decreases with the increase of pillar width and liquid film thickness.

Nanoscale Roughness

Sand, a cheap and naturally abundant particulate material, was modified with photocatalytic and hydrophobic coatings to reduce evaporation loss and facilitate the purification of water. The first-level photocatalytic coatings (TiO2 or ZnO nanocrystals) rendered nanoscale roughness on the surface of the sand. The additional second-level hydrophobic coating of a self-assembled monolayer of octyltrimethoxysilane (OTS) made the sand particles superhydrophobic because of the nanoscale roughness imposed by the nanocrystals. The superhydrophobic sand particles, floating on the free surface of water due to their superhydrophobicity, significantly reduced the evaporation loss of water by 60%–90% in comparison to an uncovered water surface. When the outer hydrophobic coatings are weathered or disengaged, the inner photocatalytic coatings become exposed to water. Then, the sand particles act as photocatalysts to degrade the contaminants in water under solar radiation.
