AbstractIntermediate aluminum oxides (aluminas) have broad X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks. Many of the phases have similar XRD patterns with overlapping of major peaks. To characterize a multi-component alumina mixture several regions of multiple overlapping peaks are examined. Each region is integrated to a single sum without regard for individual peaks. The integrated regions are applied to various ratio functions obtained from single component standards. By using an iterative technique, the functions converge to yield weight fractions for up to six alumina phases.

Nano-calcium titanate-based coated aluminum oxide (ACCTO) was successfully prepared by the citrate acid sol-gel method and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Its application in speciation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) from water was studied. The conditions of adsorption and elution were investigated. The results show that nanometer calcium titanate could be immobilized on the aluminum oxide firmly, becoming a composite adsorbent. Two forms of chromium showed different adsorption capability at different pH values, Cr (III) selectively retained at pH 8-14, whereas Cr (VI) retained at pH≤2. So separation of the Cr(III) and Cr(VI) is possible. Retained species were eluted with 5mL of 1 mol•L-1 HCl and NaOH. The Cr(III) and Cr(VI) concentration was measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The adsorption agent has a promising prospect in removal or enriching and separation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in water.

Nanometer barium-strontium titanate based coated aluminum oxide (ABST) was prepared by the sol–gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR). Its application in speciation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) from water were studied. The results showed that the nanometer barium-strontium titanate was immobilized on aluminum oxide firmly, becoming a new adsorbent. Two forms of chromium showed different exchange capacities at different pH values, viz. Cr (III) selectively retained at pH 10–13, whereas Cr (VI) retained at pH 1. Hence complete separation of the two forms of chromium is possible. Retained species were eluted with 5mL of 1 mol•L−1 HCl and 1 mol•L−1 NaOH. The Cr(III) and Cr(VI) concentration was measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The adsorbent had a promising prospect in the separation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in environment water.

AbstractUntil recently, the determination of the defect structures (previously referred to incorrectly as “crystallinity”) of kaolinites has been obtained in one of two ways: (1) measurement of the Hinckley index, or (2) by comparing calculated X-ray diffraction patterns based on a model of the defect structure (including types of defects and abundances) with experimental diffraction profiles. The Hinckley method is simple and easy to perform but contains no real information about the defect structure. Calculated XRD patterns are based on real defects but these calculations are time consuming and require some skill in application. Another approach is proposed: an expert system which will accurately describe the defect structure of kaolinites based on a few measurements taken from a normal powder diffraction profile. This system has been verified for nine kaolinite samples for which the defect structure was previously determined by comparison of calculated and observed diffraction profiles. The expert system reproduced the correct defect structure for each of the samples.

ABSTRACTThe crystal structures of the undischarged, heat-treated electrolytic manganese dioxide (HEMD) and discharge products are characterized by high spatial resolution convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED). The results are compared with the x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns characterized by broad, diffuse peaks. The CBED results for HEMD show that the starting cathodic material has the pyrolusite space group, but with a range of c/a ratios. The variability of the lattice parameter from grain to grain is found to coincide with the broadening on the low angle side of the XRD peaks. The CBED patterns of discharge products suggest a reduction range in c/a ratios and the formation of another phase.

A new organic silicane which is bridged by a long amino-functionalized alkyl chain was prepared and used as the precursor in the synthesis of a series of PMO materials. The organic silicane was added into the reaction system in CH2Cl2and the PMO materials were prepared by a simple stirring method under acidic condition, with a nonionic surfactantBrij 76 as template. To find the proper synthesis condition, the time of stirring and the proportion of organic silicane and TEOS were varied. Liquid and solid state NMR, X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and N2-physisorption properties were used to characterize the structures.

Organic/inorganic hybrids composites type have been reported as an alternative for the preparation of multifunctional materials with superior properties to those of individual constituents. In this work, hybrid composites of semiconductor oxides with amorphous carbon (C/ZnO and C/TiO2) were synthesized by partial pyrolysis method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD patterns showed the presence of crystalline diffraction lines overlaid by diffraction halos. Infrared spectra showed bands associated to the stretching of Zn-O and Ti-O bonds, as well as bands assigned to the stretching vibrations of C-O, C=O and C-H. Micrographs showed the formation of organized structures in the shape of plates and agglomerates of particles. Structural characterizations showed that the composites present the characteristics of the pristine semiconductors as well of the amorphous carbon matrix, showing a great synergism between C/semiconductor.

Nanometer calcium titanate immobilized on Aluminum oxide (ACTO) was successfully prepared by the citrate acid sol-gel method and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The adsorption capability of ACTO for Pb2+, Cd2+and Zn2+ from water was studied. Adsorption and elution were investigated under different conditions. The results show that nanometer calcium titanate could be immobilized on the aluminum oxide firmly, becoming a composite adsorbent. The Pb2+, Cd2+and Zn2+ were retained at pH 5-9, their adsorption capacities of ACTO were 124 mg•g-1, 8.58 mg•g-1 and 13.86 mg•g-1, respectively. The adsorption agent can be regenerated by elution with 2 mol•L-1 HNO3. The adsorbent has a promising prospect in removal or enriching and separation of heavy metals in water.

Needle-like zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures was deposited on titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles by solution-immersion method and Radio Frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering with diffferent RF powers, respectively on a glass substrate to synthesis nanocomposites of ZnO/TiO2. Field Emission Scanning Electrons Microscope (FESEM) images demonstrate that needle-like ZnO (112-1110 nm) are deposited on the surface of the TiO2nanoparticles with the diameter of approximately 36.3-62.9 nm. At 200 W, more needle-like ZnO with smallest average diameter (112 nm) appeared on the TiO2nanoparticles, which also has the smallest average size of 36.3 nm The compositions of elements in the nanocomposites were showed by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry (EDX). All elements of Ti, O, and Zn are observed as major components which confirm the presence of TiO2and ZnO in the composite. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns of the nanocomposites show ZnO formed on TiO2nanoparticles are hexagonal with a wurtzite structure and it revealed ZnO/TiO2thin films were succesfully deposited as nanocomposites of ZnTiO3at 100 W,Zn2TiO4at 150 W and Zn2Ti3O8at 200 W and above.
