ABSTRACTThe morphological properties of cubic, faceted MgO microcrystals have been exploited in the formation of textured coatings. Coatings exhibiting a <100> “fiber” texture were formed by centrifugal sedimentation of colloidal suspensions onto a flat substrate. A decrease in the degree of preferred orientation in the coatings with increasing areal coverage of the particles was quantified for several particle-size distributions by using x-ray diffraction. Novel methods for the deposition of particles exhibiting an in-plane preferred orientation in addition to fiber texture have been investigated.

Tin Oxide (SnO2) is a metal oxide which has many applications in industry. In this study, SnO2 powders were synthesized by a self-propagating combustion (SPC) method. The product was annealed at 800 °C for 12 and 24 h before characterizing with X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) for phase studies. X-Ray Diffraction results showed that both samples are pure of tetragonal structure with space group P42/mnm. The sample annealed at a longer period, that is, 24 h, shows a higher degree of crystallinity compared to the 12 h annealed sample. It also shows a smaller full width at half maximum (FWHM), indicating larger crystallite size for the 24 h annealed sample. The particle size analysis reveals that there are two groups of particle size distributions for both samples. SEM results give values that are different from the particle sizer results due to the different nature of the measurement methods.

Calcium Carbonate Polymorphs

AbstractIt is shown that the integrated intensities of diffraction lines from calcite and aragonite powders prepared by precipitation vary markedly, due to variations in sample packing efficiency arising from different degrees of polydispersity in the particle size distributions. Since prolonged grinding to equalize initially divergent distributions changes the polymorph composition, the packing effect imposes the principal limitation on the precision of the x-ray method for certain types of calcium carbonate preparations.

Abstract. After the Fukushima nuclear accident, atmospheric 134Cs and 137Cs measurements were taken in Fukushima city for eight years, from March 2011 to March 2019. The surface air concentrations and deposition of radio-Cs were high in winter and low in summer; these trends are the opposite of those observed in a contaminated forest area. The half-lives of 137Cs in the concentrations and deposition before 2015 (275 d and 1.11 y) were significantly shorter than those after 2015 (756 d and 4.69 y). The dissolved fractions of precipitation were larger than the particulate fractions before 2015, but the particulate fractions were larger after 2016. The half-lives of 137Cs in the concentrations and deposition were shorter before 2015, probably because the dissolved radio-Cs was discharged from the local terrestrial ecosystems more rapidly than the particulate radio-Cs. X-ray fluorescence analysis suggested that biotite may have played a key role in the environmental behavior of particulate forms of radio-Cs after 2014. However, the causal relationship between the seasonal variations in particle size distributions and the possible sources of particles is not yet fully understood. The current study also proposes a method of evaluating the consistency of a numerical model for radio-Cs resuspension and suggests that improvements to the model are necessary.

AbstractThe St. Louis aerosol was sampled during the period 16-22 August 1973 simultaneously at two locations using cascade impactors for sequential 12-hour samples. The six particle size fractions of each sampling were individually analyzed using PIXE for elements from S to Br and beyond and for heavy elements including Pb which permitted time variations of concentrations and particle size distributions to be followed and related to meteorological changes during the sampling period. In addition, the data were compared with average levels of the elements in coastal north Florida and maritime Bermuda as well as at a third St. Louis site. From this it appeared that some of the concentrations in St. Louis were at natural levels whereas others appeared to be higher and linked to air pollution sources. These relationships and others in this study may lead to criteria for distinguishing between pollutants and natural background in urban aerosols.

In this work, Cu50Zr43Al7metallic glass powders were produced by gas atomization method. The structure and crystallization characteristics of the as-prepared powders with different particle size distributions were studied in detail. The amorphous state of the alloy powders was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), in which amorphous phase formed. The scanning election microscopy (SEM) result showed that the selected metallic glass powder performed excellent owned good spherical morphology, which was also observed on an optical microscope (OM). At the same time, the particle size distributions ranging from 20 μm to 200 μm of as-prepared metallic glass powders were determined by laser diffraction. Moreover, the crystallization behavior of the Cu50Zr43Al7metallic glass powders was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

ABSTRACTFluidized bed combustion (FBC) residues from four Iowa power plants were characterized to provide background with respect to chemical, physical, mineralogical and microstructural parameters that might affect their utilization potential. Methodologies used include: bulk chemical analysis; grain size analysis; specific gravity determination; mineralogical analysis by x-ray diffraction; scanning electron microscopy; and thermal analysis.Chemical analysis of the major components showed the separation of the constituents during combustion. The bottom ash is derived from the calcined and partly sulfated limestone, thus the concentration of calcium and sulfur compounds is greater. The fly ash however is derived mostly from the coal and therefore exhibits higher concentrations of coal ash components such as silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3), and ferric oxide (Fe2O3). The alkalis appear to be more concentrated in the fly ash.The measured particle size distributions of the bulk samples varied greatly, from extremely coarse (mean particle size ˜2000 μm) to fine (mean particle size ˜25 μm). The size distributions also varied in breadth. Specific gravities values recorded ranged from about 2.65 to about 3.05.X-ray diffraction analyses showed that most of the FBC by-products contain, as easily detectable crystalline components, only quartz, anhydrite and lime, and as is to be expected due to the low combustion temperatures, do not show broad peaks characteristic of glass in conventional fly ashes. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the FBC by-products to be extremely intricate mixtures of particles of complex and variable composition and internal structure.FBC by-products are shown to be extremely complex mixtures of particles of variable composition and internal structure. However, despite their local variation, useful results can be obtained by overall chemical and physico-chemical analyses of their composition. The exploitable properties of FBC residue include the somewhat cementitious nature and the granularity. However, their heterogeneous nature, lack of pozzolanic properties, and elevated sulfate content may limit their uses, especially in construction.
