An original preparation of ZnO is described where the powder is obtained by precipitaton from zinc nitrate in aqueous solution followed by a calcination. Scanning electron microscopy reveals a close relation between the initial density and the morphology of the powder, the latter being also strongly dependent on the calcining conditions. The investigation of the densification process shows the extreme sensitivity of the final density to sintering conditions. A physical model based on the competitive influences of shrinkage and evaporation successfully describes the observed phenomena.

Electrolytically deposited palladium on polypyrrole film, which is electropolymerized using potentiostatic method, covered foam nickel electrode as a support was used as cathode for the electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination of 2, 4-dichlorophenol in aqueous solution. It is well known that the morphologies of polypyrrole films have dramatic influences on the dispersion of metals and the performance of the composite electrode. The influence of applied potential, temperature and polymerization time on the morphology of the films was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The fundamental electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination (ECH) results indicated that the electrocatalytic activity of Pd loaded polypyrrole foam nickel electrode is excellent for dechlorination of 2,4-dichlorophenol. The present study shows a promising choice of this kind of composite electrode for ECH.

Al2O3 ceramics samples were prepared by changing the ingredient and sintering conditions. The resistance experiment of the Al2O3 ceramics to hydrochloride corrosion and thermal shock were carried out, and then identified by means of scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectral analysis. The results indicated the optimal Al2O3 and sintering condition for the dechlorinating reactor.

Solid waste red mud was modified by HCl leaching. The structure property and composition of modified red mud were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). Under UV irradiation, methyl orange (MO) aqueous solution was photodegraded by modified red mud. The obtained results showed that the specific surface area of modified red mud was 317.14 m2/g, which was about 40 times higher than that of the normal red mud. After UV irradiation for 50 min, the removal percentage of MO reached 94.2%. The study provided a novel way for the application of red mud to the photocatalytic degradation of organic wastes.

Hydroxyapatite scaffolds have been being produced by a wide range of processes. The optimun material to be used as bone graft has to be partially resorbable, with resorption rates similar to new bone formation ones. The samples must have porosity compatible with tissue ingrowth. Hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate ceramics are good choices for designing such materials. In the present study, polymeric sponges were coated with hydroxyapatite and sintered. The method consists of coating polyurethane sponges substrates in an aqueous solution rich in phosphate (PO4)3-and calcium (Ca)2+ions. The solution is composed by 0.5M Ca(OH)2, 0.3M H3PO4and 1M CH3CHCO2HOH (lactic acid) at pH of 3.7. The sponges were immersed in a beaker with the solution and heated up to 80°C to precipitate monetite on the sponge. Continuous and adherent coatings were formed on the surface of sponges interconections. These coatings were characterised by X-ray diffractometry and the only identified phase was monetite. The substrates were converted to hydroxyapatite in an alkali solution.The total conversion from monetite to hydroxyapatite was confirmed by XRD analyses. The struts were heat treated in order to eliminate the organic sponge and sinter the scaffolds. After sintering, hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate were identified on the struts. Optical microscopy revealed the morphology of the struts, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed the precipitates morphology. The method showed to be efficient in the production of porous scaffolds.

Monodispersed ZrO2 (includes 8mol % Y2O3) precursor nanoparticles, which were well dispersed in aqueous solution, were successfully synthesized. The as-synthesized ZrO2 precursor nanoparticles were homogenously coated on the surface of polystyrene particles. Multilayer coating process was successfully implemented by using polyacrylic acid (PAA) to modify the surface charges of the coated particles, which was characterized by zeta-potential, particles size distribution and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

A two-stepped coating-sintering process to prepare the qualified Ni–Ti transition applied in metal-ceramic bonding proved to be effective to improve the wetting abilities. The method was introduced in detail and compared with 2 control groups. To analyze the benefits, the morphology and composition were captured by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The comparisons of different coating depths and different sintering conditions were also recorded and analyzed. The influence of the EDS detecting depth was a concern in the discussions. Finally, the contact angle tests and surface energies were also estimated to verify the reliability of the transition layer. The results indicated that the coating-sintering process combined with protective sintering was preferred and necessary to increase the activeness.

The synthesized oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles by sol-gel method were characterized using UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-rays diffraction(XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Using X-rays diffraction analysis different parameter were calculated such as crystallite size, d-spacing, dislocation density, number of unit cell, cell volume, morphological index, micro strain and instrumental broadening. The average particle size was 28.396 nm. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that SnO2 nanopartcles are uniformly distributed. Optical properties such as band gap (energy gap = 3.6 eV) was calculated from UV-Visible spectroscopy. The characterized particles were used as photocatalyst for the degradation of Eosin dye in aqueous solution under UV light. The effect of different parameters i.e irradiation time, initial dye concentration, pH of the medium and catalyst weight on percent degradation was also studied. Mmaximum dye degradation was found at 220 minutes time interval that was 92 % using 10 ppm solution. At pH 5 the degradation of dye was found to be 94%. The catalyst dose of 0.06 g was found to be the optimum weight for the best photo catalytic degradation of Eosin Y.
