AbstractThe waste fly ash (FA) material was subjected to chemical treatment with HCl at elevated temperature for a different time to modify its porosity. Modified FA particles with highest surface area and pore volume were further used as a support for TiO2 catalyst during FA/TiO2 nanocomposite preparation. The nanocomposite photocatalysts were obtained by in situ sol–gel synthesis of titanium dioxide in the presence of FA particles. To perform accurate characterization of modified FA and FA/TiO2 nanocomposite photocatalysts, gas adsorption-desorption analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV/Vis and Infrared spectroscopy were used. Efficiency evaluation of the synthesized FA/TiO2 nanocomposites was performed by following the removal of Reactive Red 45 (RR45) azo dye during photocatalytic treatment under the UV-A irradiation. Photocatalysis has been carried out up to five cycles with the same catalysts to investigate their stability and the possible reuse. The FA/TiO2 photocatalyst showed very good photocatalytic activity and stability even after the fifth cycles. The obtained results show that successfully modified waste fly ash can be used as very good TiO2 support.

Nanocrystalline CeO2 has been synthesized at room temperature using water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion technique. The structure and properties of the nanocrystalline CeO2 were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and gas adsorption desorption measurement. XRD results showed the synthesized CeO2 has a face centered cubic structure with crystallite size of about 5.2 nm. TEM observation also indicated the presence of nanometer sized particles of CeO2. Coarser particles were also observed due to agglomeration. Gas adsorption desorption isotherms showed the behavior of fine particles with mesoporous structure.

Reactions between triazatruxene-based tricarboxylate ligands, H3tat-R, and zinc nitrate under solvothermal conditions afforded new metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with the general formula [Zn3(tat-R)2(H2O)2], MUF-tat-R (R=a hydrocarbon substituent on the triazatruxene nitrogen atoms). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that these frameworks are 3D networks with a (10,3)-a topology. Linear trinuclear zinc clusters are connected to tat ligands to form chiral channels that accommodate the substituents on the tat ligands. MUF-tat and MUF-tat-benzyl crystallize in a cubic crystal system whereas MUF-tat-butyl and MUF-tat-hexyl are tetragonal. MUF-tat-benzyl retains its porosity on activation, which was confirmed by gas adsorption studies.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.

Experimental clay mineral-organic molecule complexes long have been known and some of them have been extensively studied by X-ray diffraction methods. The organic molecules are adsorbed onto the surfaces of the clay minerals, or intercalated between the silicate layers. Natural organo-clays also are widely recognized but generally have not been well characterized. Widely used techniques for clay mineral identification involve treatment of the sample with H2 O2 or other oxidant to destroy any associated organics. This generally simplifies and intensifies the XRD pattern of the clay residue, but helps little with the characterization of the original organoclay. Adequate techniques for the direct observation of synthetic and naturally occurring organoclays are yet to be developed.

The synthesis and characterization of Ti and TiN thin films of different thicknesses was carried out on a martensitic stainless steel AISI 410 substrate used for tool manufacturing. The mechanical parameters between the interacting surfaces such as thickness, adhesion and hardness were measured. By means of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) the superficial morphology of the Ti/TiN interface was observed, finding that the growth was of columnar grains and by means of EDAX the existence of titanium was verified.  Using X-ray diffraction (XRD) it was possible to observe the presence of residual stresses (~ -3.1 GPa) due to the different crystalline phases in the coating. Under X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) it was possible to observe the molecular chemical composition of the coating surface, being Ti-N, Ti-N-O and Ti-O the predominant ones.
