There are environmental and sustainable benefits of partially replacing cement with industrial by-products or synthetic materials in cement based products. Since microstructural behaviours of cement based products are the crucial parameters that govern their sustainability and durability, this study investigates the microstructural comparison between two different types of cement replacements as nanopozzolan modified cement (NPMC) in cement based product by focusing on the evidence of pozzolanic reactivity in corroboration with physical and mechanical properties. Characterization and morphology techniques using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were carried out to assess the pozzolanic reactivity of cement paste modified with the combination of nano- and micro silica as NPMC in comparison to unmodified cement paste (UCP) of 0.5 water to cement ratio (w/c). Results were then substantiated with compressive strength (CS) results as mechanical property. Results of this study showed clear evidence of pozzolanicity for all samples with varying reactivity with NPMC being the most reactive.

The aims of this research were study the microstructures and mechanical properties for partial replacement of cement with Fly ash (FA) and kaolin waste (KW). Ordinary Portland cement were partially replaced with FA and KW in the range of 25-35% and 10-25% by weight of cement powder. The kaolin waste was ground for 180 minutes before using. The specimen was packing into an iron mold which sample size of 5×5×5 cm3. Then, the specimens were kept at room temperature for 24 hours and were moist cured in the incubation lime water bath at age of 3 days. After that the specimens were dry cured with plastic wrap at age of 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. After that the compounds were examined by x-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) and the microstructures were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The compressive strength was then investigated.

The paper studies features of the hydration process of the modified blended cement for fiber cement panels (FCP) using differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. It is found that deeper hydration process in silicate phase, denser and finer crystalline structure form in fiber cement matrix based on the modified blended cement. Generalization of this result to the case of fiber cement panels makes it possible to achieve formation of a denser and homogeneous structure with increased physical and mechanical properties.

AbstractMany natural minerals and synthetic materials display twin microstructures resulting from displacive phase transitions. These microstructures may be removed temporarily from the sample by heating above the relevant transition temperature, though the twinning generally returns on subsequent cooling.In anorthoclase, the spatial distributions of twins before and after brief annealing above TC are often identical. This property appears to be a common feature in many materials which undergo ferroelastic phase transitions, and is known as ‘twin memory’. The atomic mechanisms responsible for this twin memory may be investigated by studying the annealing regimes required to remove the memory effect; how long must a sample be annealed, and at what temperature, to induce ‘twin amnesia’.High-resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been used to investigate twin memory and twin amnesia in anorthoclase. In anorthoclase, the primary constraint on twin amnesia is thermodynamic, rather than kinetic. The critical temperature to induce amnesia correlates well with the top of the (Na, K) solvus in disordered alkali feldspar. For this reason, the proposed mechanism for twin memory involves the segregation of alkali cations in thin lamellae at the twin boundaries.

The paper presents results of the study of the effect of doping with yttrium oxide on ceramics of the composition (γ + θ) Al2O3 + nY2O3 (n = 0, 1, 2, 3 wt%), sintered at 1550°C for 2 h, from powders of the specified composition annealed at temperatures of 500 , 800, 1000°С. X-ray diffraction analysis established the formation in ceramics of yttrium aluminum garnet Y3Al5O12 (YAG) and a metastable phase of the same composition with a tetragonal lattice type in powders at temperatures above 1200°C. The effect of YAG on the physical and mechanical properties was established: high properties were demonstrated by ceramics of the composition α-Al2O3 + 2wt% Y2O3, obtained from a powder annealed at 1000°C. In addition, high physical and mechanical properties were observed in ceramics of the composition α-Al2O3 + 0wt% Y2O3, obtained from a powder annealed at 800°C. The effect of the so-called “mutual protection against crystallization” was discovered, which consists in the mutual inhibition of crystallization processes in powders of the Al2O3 – Y2O3 system.

Low-grade magnesium oxide (LG-MgO) was proposed as ordinary Portland cement (OPC) or lime substitute (CaO) for metal(loid)s remediation in contaminated soils. Some metal(loid)s precipitate at pH ≈ 9 in insoluble hydroxide form thus avoiding their leaching. LG-MgO avoids the re-dissolution of certain metal(loid)s at 9.0 < pH < 11.0 (pH-dependents), whose solubility depends on the pH. A highly contaminated soil with heavy metal(loid)s was stabilized using different LG-MgO by-products sources as stabilizing agents. Two of the three studied LG-MgOs were selected for the stabilization, by mixing 5, 10, and 15 wt.%. The effect of using LG-MgO not only depends on the size of the particles, but also on those impurities that are present in the LG-MgO samples. Particle size distribution, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis, citric acid test, specific surface, bulk density, acid neutralization capacity, batch leaching tests (BLTs), and percolation column tests (PCTs) were techniques used to deeply characterize the different LG-MgO and the contaminated and remediated soils. The remediation’s results efficacy indicated that when the medium pH was between 9.0 and 11.0, the concentration of pH-dependent metal(loid)s decreases significantly. Although around 15 wt.% of a stabilizing agent was appropriate for the soil remediation to ensure an alkali reservoir that maintains optimal stabilization conditions for a long period, 5 wt.% of LG-MgO was enough to remedy the contaminated soil. When evaluating a polluted and decontaminated soil, both BLTs and PCTs should be complementary procedures.

Decacarbonyldirhenium (1) reacts upon UV irradiation with allene (2), 1,2-butadiene (3) and 2,3-pentadiene (4) preferentially by CO substitution and oxidative rearrangement to the corresponding enneacarbonyl-μ-η1:3-endiyl-dirhenium complexes 5, 9, and 15 and to the octacarbonyl-μ-η2:2-allene-dirhenium complexes 6, the stereoisomers 10, 11, and 16. At elevated temperature 5, 9, and 15 loose CO and yield by a reductive rearrangement also the complexes 6, 10, 11, and 16. In addition to these main products, depending upon the allene derivative used, various by-products are obtained.By-products of the reaction o f 1 with 2 are octacarbonyl-μ-η3:3-(2,3-dimethylene-buta-1,4- diyl)dirhenium (7) and μ-η2:2-allene-hexacarbonyl-μ-η1:3-1-propene-1,3-diyl-dirheniurn (8). The photo reaction of 1 with 3 yields, in addition to 9-11, tetracarbonyl-η3-(E-5-ethylidene- 4-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-yl)rhenium (12) and tetracarbonyl-η3-(Z-5-ethyliden-4- methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-yl)rhenium (13) as a mixture of isomers. 1 and 4 form the by-products tetracarbonyl-η3-(EZ-3-penten-2-yl)rhenium (17), tetracarbonyl-η3-(EE-3-penten-2-yl)rhenium (18) and heptacarbonyl-μ-η1:2:1:2-(4,5-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene-3,6-diyl)dirhenium (19) with an unusually bridging and chelating ligand. The constitutions of the reaction products have been concluded from the IR and 1H NMR spectra. For 19 the crystal and molecular structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.

This research reports the physical and mechanical properties of (1-x) Bi0.5(Na0.81K0.19)0.5TiO3-xKNbO3 (x=0.00-0.06) ceramics. The Modified Bi0.5(Na0.81K0.19)0.5TiO3 ceramics were synthesized by solid state reaction technique. The mixed oxides powders were calcined at 850 °C, 4 h and sintered at 1120 °C, 2 h to form pure phase perovskite and the optimum bulk density, respectively. The phase formation of the modified ceramic samples was determined by X-ray diffraction technique. All of the modified Bi0.5(Na0.81K0.19)0.5TiO3 ceramics exhibited a single perovskite phase. The bulk densities of the modified ceramic samples were 5.41±0.27-5.75±0.28 g/cm3 using the Archimedes’ method. The microstructure was revealed by the scanning electron microscope. The rectangular-like shape was found of all studied ceramics which had the grain size between 1.31±0.02-1.56±0.03 mm. The mechanical properties were studied by both Vickers and Knoop microhardness tester. The results are discussed in term of the relation among hardness properties, Young’s modulus, and fracture toughness.

AbstractDiphosphanegold(I) complexes of the form dppmEAuX [dppm = bis(diphenylphosphano)methane, E = S, Se; X = Br, I], dppeEAuX [dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphano)ethane; E = O, S; X = Br, I] and dppbzEAuX [dppbz = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphano)benzene; E = S, Se, X = Br, I] were treated with elemental X2. With dppm, the three products [dppmEAuX2]+X3– (E = S, X = Br (1), I (2); E = Se, X = I (3) were obtained in quantitative yield. These are gold(III) complexes involving a five-membered ring . With dppe, the only related product was [dppeEAuBr2]+Br3– (4), in which the central ring is six-membered with two carbon atoms. These dppe systems are very sensitive to oxidation/hydrolysis of the ligand, and several such unintended products were isolated and identified. The reaction of dppbzSAuBr with bromine leads to [dppbzS]2+[AuBr4]–Br– (5), the dication of which is formally 1,1,3,3-tetraphenylbenzo[d]-2-thia-1, 3-diphosphol-1,3-diium and contains a central five-membered ring . The dications are associated with the bromide anions via S…Br contacts of ca. 3.1 Å to form inversion-symmetric S2Br2 rings. The halogenation of the dppbzSe derivatives leads to loss of selenium and formation of dppbzAuBr3 (6), with [4+1] coordination at gold, or the known compound [dppbzAuI2]+I3– (7). All products 1–6 were subjected to X-ray diffraction analyses, as were four hydrolysis products 4a–d and two further by-products [5(thtBr+)·2Br3–·3(AuBr4–)] (1a) and (tht)AuBr3 (1b). Compound 1a displays unusually short Br…Br contacts of 3.2398(8) Å between neighbouring tetrabromidoaurate(III) ions.

The recycling of industrial residues has being intensified all over the world, mainly due to the increase of the impact to the environment, and the growing volume of solid residues that put in risk the public health and degrade the natural resources. So, the aim of this work is to study the potentiality of the residue from kaolin industry, as ceramic raw material to produce porcelanate gres. A composition was formulated, mixed and forming by pressing (from 30 MPa to 50 MPa). After, it was sinterized at temperatures of 1180°C, 1200°C, 1220°C and 1240°C. The samples were submitted to physical and mechanical tests and characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The preliminary results from physical and mechanical properties showed that the residue can be used to produce porcelanate gres according to Brasilian Norms (NBR 13818), at temperatures of 1220°C and 1240°C.
