AbstractThe high number of potential interstitial sites suitable for hydrogen and the favorable hydrogen-metal chemistry make quasicrystalline alloys candidates for hydrogen storage applications. Hydrogen charging was performed electrochemically in a 2:1 glycerin-phosphoric acid electrolyte. The microstructure of quasicrystals in Zr69.5Cu12Ni11Al7.5 was investigated by x-ray diffraction and TEM, the kinetics of transformations by DSC and TDA.Hydrogen was observed to exhibit a significant effect not only on the formation of Zr-based quasicrystalsfrom the glassy precursor material, but also on their stability. Ribbons with an icosahedral microstructure were found to absorb hydrogen up to H/M = 2.0. With increasing hydrogen content an expansion of the quasilattice constant was observed, followed by the formation of approximants and finally amorphization.Only partial desorption of hydrogen can occur prior to the decomposition of the quasicrystalline phase. Desorption at lower temperatures is hindered by the formation of a thin ZrO2 barrier. Pd plating, often used to overcome such a barrier, improves the absorption kinetics as well as the desorption behavior significantly. DSC of uncoated Zr-based quasicrystals reveals that at low hydrogen contents the decomposition ofthe icosahedral quasicrystals is shifted to lower temperatures; at high hydrogen contents the formation of ZrH2-x was revealed. In the Pd-coated ribbons fully desorption is observed even below 300°C, butonly after hydrogenation up to H/M = 0.5; higher hydrogen contents lead to irreversible changes.The micromechanism of transformations during hydrogenation as well as the decomposition during annealing of hydrogenated uncoated as well as Pd coated Zr-based quasicrystals are discussed in some detail.

We report on the preparation and hydrogen desorption/absorption kinetics of nanocrystalline magnesium hydride (MgH2) added commercial TiO2by high-energy ball milling. The phase and composition of the as-milled powders are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that the milled sample contained MgH2phase, small amount of Mg and various phases of TiO2such as tetragonal and orthorhombic structure. The effect of the milling time (10, 20 and 30 h) on the hydrogen desorption property of MgH2has been investigated and found that the milling time of 20 h has excellent dehydrogenation properties, which can release 3.3 wt% H2within 60 min at 300oC, which indicates that the kinetics of hydrogen desorption of MgH2-TiO2composite has been greatly enhanced compared to the pure MgH2. Moreover, hydrogen absorption kinetics of the sample milled 20 h has been studied and the hydrogen content is 0.7, 0.8 and 1.2 wt% H2at 250, 280 and 300oC within 60 min, respectively.

Abstract Cu6Sn5 intermetallic occurs in the form of differently ordered phases η, η′ and η′′. In solder joints, this intermetallic can undergo changes in composition and the state of order without or while interacting with excess Cu and excess Sn in the system, potentially giving rise to detrimental changes in the mechanical properties of the solder. In order to study such processes in fundamental detail and to get more detailed information about the metastable and stable phase equilibria, model alloys consisting of Cu3Sn + Cu6Sn5 as well as Cu6Sn5 + Sn-rich melt were heat treated. Powder x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy supplemented by electron backscatter diffraction were used to investigate the structural and microstructural changes. It was shown that Sn-poor η can increase its Sn content by Cu3Sn precipitation at grain boundaries or by uptake of Sn from the Sn-rich melt. From the kinetics of the former process at 513 K and the grain size of the η phase, we obtained an interdiffusion coefficient in η of (3 ± 1) × 10−16 m2 s−1. Comparison of this value with literature data implies that this value reflects pure volume (inter)diffusion, while Cu6Sn5 growth at low temperature is typically strongly influenced by grain-boundary diffusion. These investigations also confirm that η′′ forming below a composition-dependent transus temperature gradually enriches in Sn content, confirming that Sn-poor η′′ is metastable against decomposition into Cu3Sn and more Sn-rich η or (at lower temperatures) η′.

A type of cross-linking starch microsphere (CSMs) has been synthesized via reversed phase suspension method. Crosslinked starch microsphere has good adsorption performance to metal ions in water. The adsorption kinetics of Co (II) on the CSMs, selectivity of adsorption CSMs towards Co (II),Cu (II),Pb (II),Cd (II) and adsorption effects of media towards Co (II) were investigated. The CSMs and its adsorption product were comparatively characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that The adsorption rate is mainly controlled by liquid film diffusion, and the constant of adsorption rate is 0.0686min-1 at 308K. The crystal structure of the CSMs decreased greatly after the incorporation of Co (II). Co (II) has better adsorption selectivity on CSMs. Ions coexist and other substances in the solution have certain impact on adsorption. Those data are helpful for treatment of the wastewater containing heavy ions.

Abstract Commercial Granulated Active Carbon (GAC) has been modified using 10 Gy dose Gamma irradiation (GAC10 Gy) for increasing its ability of air purification. Both, the raw and treated samples were applied for removing Chlorpyrifos pesticide (CPF) from ambient midair. Physicochemical properties of the two materials were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The phase formation and microstructure were monitored using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), supported with Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX). The Surface area measurement was detected using BET particle size prosometry. Obtained outcomes showed that, the maximum adsorption capacity, given by Langmuir equations, was greatly increased from 172.712 to 272.480 mg/g for GAC and GAC10 Gy, respectively, with high selectivity. The overall removal efficiency of GAC10 Gy was notably comparable to that of the original GAC-sorbent. The present study indicated that, gamma irradiation could be a promising technique for treating GAC and turned it more active in eliminating the pesticides pollutants from surrounding air. The data of equilibrium has been analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich models, that were considerably better suited for the investigated materials than other models. The process kinetics of CPF adsorbed onto both tested carbon versions were found to obey the pseudo first order at all concentrations with an exception at 70 mg/l using GAC, where, the spontaneous exothermic adsorption of Chlorpyrifos is a strong function for the pseudo-first order (PFO) and pseudo second order (PSO) kinetics.

Due to growing demand for metal-free dental restorations, dental ceramics, especially dental zirconia, represent an increasing share of the dental implants market. They may offer mechanical performances of the same range as titanium ones. However, their use is still restricted by a lack of confidence in their durability and, in particular, in their ability to resist hydrothermal ageing. In the present study, the ageing kinetics of commercial zirconia dental implants are characterized by X-ray diffraction after accelerated ageing in an autoclave at different temperatures, enabling their extrapolation to body temperature. Measurements of the fracture loads show no effect of hydrothermal ageing even after ageing treatments simulated a 90-year implantation.

AbstractLeaching titaniferous magnetite concentrate with alkali solution of high concentration under high temperature and high pressure was utilized to improve the grade of iron in iron concentrate and the grade of TiO2 in titanium tailings. The titaniferous magnetite concentrate in use contained 12.67% TiO2 and 54.01% Fe. The thermodynamics of the possible reactions and the kinetics of leaching process were analyzed. It was found that decomposing FeTiO3 with NaOH aqueous solution could be carried out spontaneously and the reaction rate was mainly controlled by internal diffusion. The effects of water usage, alkali concentration, reaction time, and temperature on the leaching procedure were inspected, and the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and energy dispersive spectroscopy, respectively. After NaOH leaching and magnetic separation, the concentrate, with Fe purity of 65.98% and Fe recovery of 82.46%, and the tailings, with TiO2 purity of 32.09% and TiO2 recovery of 80.79%, were obtained, respectively.

AbstractThe interaction of Al and W in the Si/SiO2/W-Ti/Al thin film system is studied quantitatively by glancing angle x-ray diffraction. The formation of Al-W compounds due to annealing is monitored by the variation of the integrated intensity from a few x-ray diffraction peaks of the corresponding compounds. The annealing was conducted at 400°C, 450°C and 500°C from 1 hour to 300 hours. The kinetics of compound formation is determined using x-ray diffraction data and verified by TEM observations. We will also show the correlation of the compound formation to the change of the electrical properties of these films.

AbstractThe aim of the study was the basic incidence on the phenomenon of adsorption that occurs at the hydroxyapatite/malic acid interface, leading to a change in the surface properties of hydroxyapatite, Analytical methods used in the research: X-ray diffraction (XRD) as well as by the, adsorption–desorption of nitrogen (ASAP), potentiometric titration. The specific adsorption of malic acid ions at the hydroxyapatite interface was investigated by means of the radioisotope method. The zeta potential of hydroxyapatite dispersions was determined by electrophoresis with Zetasizer Nano ZS90 by Malvern. The particle sizes of hydroxyapatite samples were analyzed using Masteriszer 2000 Malvern. Studies on the kinetics of malic acid on hydroxyapatite from a solution with an initial concentration of 1 mmol/dm3 have shown that the adsorption process is initially fast, followed by a slow adsorption step. An increase in the pH of the solution causes a decrease in the malic acid adsorption as a result of competition with hydroxyl ions. The presence of adsorbed malic acid was confirmed by the FTIR measurements. The effect of malic acid adsorption on the zeta potential and particle size distribution of hydroxyapatite in the NaCl solution was investigated.

Icosahedral Quasicrystalline

In this investigation the Al64Cu24Fe12 alloy was melted in an induction furnace and solidified under normal casting conditions. The as-cast sample was subject to a heat treatment at 700 oC under argon atmosphere in order to obtain the icosahedral quasicrystalline phase in a monophase region. Subsequently, the icosahedral phase was milled for different times and water added conditions. The pre-alloyed and milled powders were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-Ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The experimental results showed that the icosahedral phase is sensitive to the reaction between water and aluminum of the quasicrystalline alloy to generate hydrogen. As the milling time and the amount of water are increased, the embrittlement reaction of the alloy is accentuated releasing more hydrogen.
