In this work, photocatalysts TiO2-HT prepared by hydrothermal method and TiO2-P25 Degussa were characterized by Energy Dispersive X-Ray analysis (EDX), X-ray powder diffraction analysis (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy, BET surface area measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and tested in degradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants in bio-treated seafood wastewater (COD > 80 mg/L). After 9 hours of photodegradation under UV-A irradiation, COD removal efficiency reached 85.6 % and 48.9 % on TiO2-P25 and TiO2 catalysts, respectively. COD values of seafood wastewater treated by photocatalysis met the standard discharge requirement - QCVN 11:2008 – level A (COD £ 50 mg/L).

Fumed Silica was modified with hexamethyldisiazane (HMDZ, modifier) and dimethyldiethoxysilane (DMDEOS, co-modifier) by grafting method. The structure of organo-functionnalized nanoparticles was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Functional nanosilica-filled polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) composites membrane were prepared. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations of composites revealed good dispersion of the silica nanoparticles and the pervaporation performance of the filled PDMS membranes is better than that of the unfilled PDMS membranes.

AbstractCoSO4ċH2O nanoparticles and barite (BaSO4) microcubes have been prepared by hydrothermal decomposition of new precursors [Co(tsc)2]Cl2 and [Ba(tsc)2]Cl2 (tsc =  thiosemicarbazide), respectively. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. As a comparison between two methods, thermal decomposition of novel precursors in high temperature boiling organic solvents were examined.

ABSTRACTThe formation of CoSi2 on Ge.17Si.83 layers by Co/Ge.17Si.83 thermal reaction nas been studied with a variety of analytical techniques. Co films deposited on strained Ge.17Si.83 layers were annealed at 600°C for 0–240 min. Following 240 rain annealing, the reacted surface layer was composed of CoSi, CoSi2 and GexSi1-x precipitates (the latter probably rich in Ge) as identified with transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and/or Raman spectroscopy. Lateral phase non-uniformity was evident with both transmission and scanning electron microscopy. For samples annealed with and without an evaporated Co film, enhanced relaxation of the underlying Ge.17Si.83 layer was apparent in the former.

The cellulose used in this study was prepared from bleached soda bagasse obtained from the Pars paper factory. To prepare nanocellulose, the sample was subjected to alkaline pretreatment and then acid hydrolysis using 54% sulfuric acid at several temperatures (35, 50, 60, and 65 °C) and different times (30, 60, 90, and 120 min). Then, they were prepared using a centrifuge, dialysis bag, ultrasound, and freezer, respectively. The produced nanocellulose was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). According to the results, temperatures of 50 and 90 °C were selected for the preparation of nanocellulose. The crystallization index of the hydrolyzed pulp and produced nanocellulose was 53 and 61%, respectively. The produced nanocellulose had a fibrillar shape.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.

The present article reports the results of studies related to the synthesis of nanocrystalline ceria powder by combustion process using salt combustion aid. Cerium nitrate as oxidant and urea as fuel were used as reagents, Sodium Chloride was compared as combustion aid. The phase analysis and particle size were compared. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that employment of starting fuel with combustion aid resulted in synthesizing nanocrystalline ceria powder with fine agglomerates. By using combustion aid, the energetics of the combustion reaction and particle characteristics have been changed.

Abstract Interior plaster from the Abbot's Palace of the Abbey of Villers-la-Ville, Brabant Wallon province, Belgium has been investigated. It is done by using chemical analysis, x-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive electron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. It is found that the rendering was made with lime rich mortar and animal hairs. The sand used was very fine and the hairs were very short. The solid constituents and the hairs were uniformly dispersed, which could have been obtained by the addition of some other natural polymer, containing protein.

In this work, CaCO3 nanoparticles have been synthesized via heat-treatment of a new precursor. Effect of calcinations temperature on particle size has been investigated. The products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). nanoCaCO3 was modified using chloroform as solvent and fatty acid as modifier atroom temperature. The advantage of this modification is that it can be proceed at room temperature and it can reduce energy consumption.
