All the desired properties of cement primarily depend on the physicochemical characteristics of clinker from which the cement is produced. The mineralogical composition of the clinker forms the most important parameter influencing these properties.Optical microscopy provides reasonably accurate information pertaining to the thermal history of the clinker, while XRDA still remains the proven method of phase identification, and bulk chemical composition of the clinker can be readily obtained from XRFA. Nevertheless, all these microanalytical techniques are somewhat limited in their applications, and SEM/EDXA combination fills this gap uniquely by virtue of its high resolution imaging capability and possibility of instantaneous chemical analysis of individual phases.Inhomogeneities and impurities in the raw meal, influence of kiln conditions such as sintering and cooling rate being directly related to the microstructure can be effectively determined by SEM/EDXA. In addition, several physical characteristics of cement, such as rhcology, grindability and hydraulicity also depend on the clinker microstructure.

A vas- és mangán-oxidok fontos szerepet töltenek be a kémiai elemek talajbeli migrációjában, és amennyiben nem reliktum sajátságok, jellemezőik jól tükrözik a befogadó talaj képződésének körülményeit. Jelen tanulmányban egy Ipoly-menti rétitalaj-szelvényben található vaskiválásokat jellemeztük mikroszkópos szöveti, szelektív kémiai kioldásos, valamint röntgen-pordiffrakciós ásványtani vizsgálatokkal. A 20 és 180 cm-es mélységközben megjelenő különféle vaskiválások a legfelső rétegekben elsősorban vörösbarna bevonatokat és laza aggregátumokat alkotnak. 60 és 90 cm között azonban már a geodaszerű borsók és a konkréciók uralkodnak, továbbá itt jelennek meg az amfibol utáni pszeudomorfózák is. A kiválások mérete és gyakorisága is itt a legnagyobb, jelezve a hidromorf hatás maximumát. A különféle vaskiválások 120 cm alatt zömmel gravitációs mozgással vagy bemosódással vannak jelen. Mind a ditionitos, mind pedig az oxalátos kioldással a legfelső rétegből mobilizálódott a legtöbb vas (1,56% Fed és 1,70% Feo) és ezek mennyisége a mélységgel csökken. Az oxalátos és ditionitos Fe- és Mn-tartalom aránya 1 körül van minden vizsgált mintában. Ez az amorf vasfázisok (és mangánfázisok) uralkodó arányára és a jelentős hidromorf hatásra utal a vaskiválásokban. A szelektív kioldásokkal kinyerhető Fe- és Mn-tartalom nem követi a teljes Fe- és Mn-tartalom változásait. A legfelső vizsgált rétegben a teljes vastartalom kb. 30%-a, míg a mangán 90%-a oldható ki minkét módszerrel, és ez az arány a mélységgel csökken. A nedves szitálással szeparált vaskiválások röntgendiffrakciós vizsgálata szerint kristályos vas- és mangánfázisokra jellemző csúcs nem jelenik meg a felvételeken. A felvételek mintázata vas és amorf anyag jelenlétére utal. A vizsgált vasborsókban megjelenő további ásványok megegyeznek a talajt alkotó fázisokkal. Szembetűnő azonban, hogy a jobban fejlett vaskiválások kevesebb és rendezetlenebb szerkezetű agyagásványt tartalmaznak, mint a laza aggregátumok. A vasborsókkal ellentétben az amfibol utáni pszeudomorfózákban egyértelműen kimutatható a goethit, mint vasfázis. Jellemző azonban, hogy ez a fázis is rendezetlen szerkezetű, amely utalhat arra, hogy ferrihidritből képződött. Vizsgálataink alapján a vasas kiválásokat felépítő fázisok röntgenamorf szerkezetűek, rövid távon rendezett ferrihidrit (valamint vernadit) ásványok lehetnek. A kiválások legfejlettebb formája az izometrikus alakú, koncentrikus szerkezetű konkréció. Ennek képződése együtt jár a benne található agyagásványok degradálódásával (és esetleg a kalcit eltűnésével is) szoros összefüggésben a nedvesedési–kiszáradási ciklusokkal. A vaskiválások anyagát szolgáltató fázis a teljesen átalakult amfibol lehetett, amely a legjobban fejlett kiválásokkal egyazon mélységben jelenik meg. A vasforrás közelsége is hozzájárulhatott a kiválások szöveti-morfológiai fejlettségéhez.

The surfaces of building materials of hydrotechnical constructions undergo the process of algae biofouling. The degree of damage depends on the environmental factors that are affect-ed by the level of anthropogenic load areas. Modeling the biofouling process of concrete with algae under laboratory conditions has allowed determining their impact on the building ma-terial, accompanied by changes in chemical and mineralogical composition of the surface of products. The microscopic examination of sample’s surfaces and evaluation of the effective-ness of various ions leaching from building materials shows the results of "algal attack" relat-ed to the acceleration of biodegradation of materials under the influence of aggressive meta-bolic products, mechanical action neoplasms, creating optimal conditions for the development of subsequent aerobic microbial decomposers. To clarify the nature of chemical processes in the system “algocenosis – concrete” the changes of chemical and phase (mineralogical) com-position of the surface layer of concrete sample were studied. The effect that algae produce on hydraulic engineering constructions is due to the fact that these organisms, belonging to phototrophs and standing at the beginning of the food chain, initiate new microbial growth.

Abstract Surface sediment samples obtained at the offshore and nearshore area of Lake Erie were separated into eight different size fractions ranging from <2 µm to 250 µm. The concentration of major elements (Si, Al, Ca, Mg, K, Na, Fe, Mn and P), metals (Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, V, Co and Pb) and organic matter was determined together with the mineralogical composition and morphology of the particles in each size fraction. The distribution of the metals in the offshore sediment was bimodal with the majority of the metals divided between the 63 to 250 um size fraction which also contained the highest concentration of organic matter (about 20%) and the <4 µm fraction containing up to 60% of clay minerals. However, the metals in the nearshore sediment were associated mainly with the clay minerals.

Abstract Sediment cores were collected in Lake St. Clair in 1985 and in the St. Clair River in 1986 to investigate the horizontal and vertical distribution and association of Hg in the sediments. A layer of recent sediment up to about 35 cm thick was differentiated by the geochemical composition and visual appearance from the underlying glacial-lacustrine deposits. The concentration of Hg in the surficial sediments in Lake St. Clair was lower in 1985 (<0.025 to 1.200 µg/g) than that found in 1974 (<0.20 to 3.00 µg/g). Up to 8.30 µg/g of Hg were found in the sediments collected from the nearshore area at Sarnia, Ontario, in the St. Clair River in 1986. The concentrations of Hg ranged from 5.05 to 16.00 µg/g in different sand-sized fractions (0.063 to 0.350 mm) of the sediment. The concentration of Hg was 17.80 µg/g in the silt-clay size fraction (<0.063 mm). No relationship was found between the concentration of organic matter and Hg, and the concentration of silica and Hg in the St. Clair River sediments. The results indicated a relationship of Hg with particles of different mineralogical composition. Up to 3.72 µg/g Hg was found in the surface sediment in Chenal Ecarte. The greatest concentration of Hg (13.15 µg/g) existed in the 0.350 mm particle size fraction, which consisted mainly of small pieces of decaying wood. A good relationship was found between the concentration of Hg and organic matter in the sediment at this area.
