AbstractDecomposition of the Y2BaCuO5 in C02 was studied using simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The time derivative to the thermo-gravimetric analysis data (DTG) was used to calculate the activation energy. The activation energy of decomposition by CO2 into barium carbonate, copper oxide and yttrium oxide was found to be <

One of the main problems encountered in civil engineering is the management of large amounts of excavated soil, especially when the mechanical properties of this soil are not suitable for its reuse as a construction material. However, the excavated soil could represent a resource if appropriately improved. A suitable solution is the addition of cement and foam to produce lightweight cemented soils (LWCS). In this paper, an insight into the influence of foam on chemo-mineralogical and microstructural features of soil-cement-water system is presented. Time dependent mineralogical and microstructural changes have been monitored by means of X-Ray Diffraction, Thermo-gravimetric analysis and Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry. The present study shows that addition of foam does not alter the chemo-physical evolution of the soil-cement-water system. Large voids are present in the samples as footprint of air bubbles upon mixing, thus increasing porosity. Macroscopic behaviour of treated samples has been investigated by direct shear and oedometric tests. Chemo-physical evolution induced by cement addition is the major responsible for mechanical improvement showed by treated samples. Porosity of samples induced by foam addition plays a key role in the mechanical response of LWCS, inducing a transition of stress-strain behaviour from brittle and dilative to ductile and contractive as a function of increasing foam content.

This study seeks to find the influence of replacing a portion of the asphalt–rubber binder with the bio-based material “guayule resin.” This replacement could be beneficial in terms of sustainability, economics, and environmental concerns related to the asphalt industry. Nine asphalt–rubber–guayule binders were investigated to find their rheological properties. Consecutively, the study proceeded with five selected binders being compared to the original asphalt (PG64-22). Investigations underwent whole matrices (crumb rubber modifier (CRM) residue included) and liquid phases (CRM residue extracted). Additionally, these properties were partially sought for their corresponding asphalt–rubber binders to compare and judge the contribution of the guayule resin. Likewise, a thermo-gravimetric analysis was done for the guayule resin to recognize its moisture and composition complexity. Such an analysis was also done for the as-received CRM and some extracted CRMs to determine the release and residue of rubber components. Outcomes showed that the guayule resin has the potential to compensate the performance required against the original asphalt at elevated temperatures while greatly decreasing the asphalt cement proportion. For instance, a blend of 62.5% asphalt, 12.5% CRM, and 25% guayule resin provided better performance than that of the original asphalt.

In this study, a novel magnetic polyacrylamide (PAM) coagulant based on the core of magnetite (Fe3O4), with oleic acid serving as modifier and acrylamide as monomer, was synthesized to remove suspended solids in kaolin-suspended water. The composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermo gravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrated that 82.8% of turbidity removal rate was obtained in 5 min of static settling in simulated kaolin-suspended water. This proved to be superior to that of PAM and poly aluminum chloride. Also confirmed in this study was the fact that zeta potential was significantly correlated with turbidity removal.

Abstract This research performed the gasification kinetics of three Shenhua coal under CO2 atmosphere using isothermal thermogravimetry. Results showed that isothermal gasification curves for three different coal samples revealed different gasification behaviour. Among the eleven kinetic models, A2 was the most suitable one to describe the gasification kinetics of three coal samples, because it can reproduce the experimental data very well with reasonable correlation coefficients. The activation energy for sample A, B and C were 95.9, 79.1, and 69.4 kJ mol-1, respectively. The activation energy decreased with the increase of the particle size. The compensation relationship was observed between activation energy and frequency factor, and the mathematical expression was lnA=0.1041 E+0.54028 with the correlation coefficients of 0.999.

The present study aims to investigate the physicochemical properties of the methyl cellulose. The information of this investigate has been used to reference in preparing biodegradable film. It was observed that the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy show the hydrogen bond’s formation and the Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) show the chemical and level of the composition element, which Copper (Cu) has the highest accumulate. Another that, the XRD spectra which investigated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) show the methyl cellulose had lowered crystalline. Another that, the Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) was used to investigate the effect of heating and influence of thermal.

The polymer matrix of poly (metyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has been introduced with the titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanopowder to study the effects of the TiO2size on the properties of the nanocomposites. The particle size is playing an important role in determining the properties of the nanocomposite. The decrease the filler size has increase the thermal decomposition of the nanocomposites due to the higher amount of the filler between the polymer chains. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry (EDS) also were discussed in this paper.

Single crystals of tris (Thiourea) magnesium sulphate (MTS) were grown from aqueous solution by low temperature solution growth technique. The grown crystals have been characterized by X-ray diffraction to confirm the formation of the crystalline phases. The presence of functional groups was identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The optical transmission spectrum showed that a lower cut-off wavelength of MTS crystal is below 300 nm and it has a wide transparency window, which is suitable for second harmonic generation of laser in the blue region. The thermal stabilities were studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). Nonlinear optical characteristics of MTS were studied using Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (λ=1064 nm ). The micro-hardness studies reveal the mechanical properties of the grown crystals.
