Abstract The concentration of different maceral groups and minerals in coal influence the quality as each of them behaves differently during heat treatment. The purpose of this study is to know how the maceral groups and minerals are behaving at different temperature conditions. Therefore, various maceral groups and minerals were concentrated by using heavy liquids of different specific gravities (1.3, 1.7 and 1.9). The generated density fractions were treated with heat at 400, 600, 800 and 1000°C. All the density fractions at various temperature conditions along with feed sample were investigated by Optical Microscopy, X-ray Diffractometry (XRD), Electron-probe Micro Analysis (EPMA) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The results from these analyses suggest that fusinite and sclerotinite are the most stable macerals, whereas quartz is the most stable mineral during pyrolysis. Telocollinite found to be oxidized very prominently at 400 °C . Siderite and pyrite thermally altered to form hematite above 400°C and 800 °C respectively. Kaolinite converted to metakaolin followed by mullite with increasing temperature.

Substituted polyaniline poly(o-anisidine) and copoly{aniline-(o-anisidine)} were synthesized by the oxidative chemical polymerization method. Sulfuric acid was used as the dopant during the polymerization process. Synthesized polymers were subjected to the spectroscopic, X-ray and thermal analysis. Formation of different oxidation states of the polymer were confirmed by the spectroscopic (UV-VIS and FTIR) analysis. Polymers reveal polycrystalline nature and orthorhombic crystal structure. Three step decomposition patterns similar to that of polyaniline are observed in the thermogram. The conductivity is found to be higher in copoly{aniline-(o-anisidine)} than poly(o-anisidine). Increase in conductivity with increasing temperature was observed in both of the polymers.

For the calculation of X-ray intensities emitted by elements present in multi-layer systems it is vital to have an accurate knowledge of the x-ray ionization vs. mass-depth (ϕ(ρz)) curves as a function of accelerating voltage and atomic number of films and substrate. Once this knowledge is available the way is open to the analysis of thin films in which both the thicknesses as well as the compositions can usually be determined simultaneously.Our bulk matrix correction “PROZA” with its proven excellent performance for a wide variety of applications (e.g., ultra-light element analysis, extremes in accelerating voltage) has been used as the basis for the development of the software package discussed here. The PROZA program is based on our own modifications of the surface-centred Gaussian ϕ(ρz) model, originally introduced by Packwood and Brown. For its extension towards thin film applications it is required to know how the 4 Gaussian parameters α, β, γ and ϕ(o) for each element in each of the films are affected by the film thickness and the presence of other layers and the substrate.

Lyocell fabrics are widely applied in textiles, however, its high flammability increases the risk of fire. Therefore, to resolve the issue, a novel biomass-based flame retardant with phosphorus and nitrogen elements was designed and synthesized by the reaction of arginine with phosphoric acid and urea. It was then grafted onto the lyocell fabric by a dip-dry-cure technique to prepare durable flame-retardant lyocell fabric (FR-lyocell). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis demonstrated that the flame retardant was successfully introduced into the lyocell sample. Thermogravimetric (TG) and Raman analyses confirmed that the modified lyocell fabric featured excellent thermal stability and significantly increased char residue. Vertical combustion results indicated that FR-lyocell before and after washing formed a complete and dense char layer. Thermogravimetric Fourier-transform infrared (TG-FTIR) analysis suggested that incombustible substances (such as H2O and CO2) were produced and played a significant fire retarding role in the gas phase. The cone calorimeter test corroborated that the peak of heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release (THR) declined by 89.4% and 56.4%, respectively. These results indicated that the flame retardancy of the lyocell fabric was observably ameliorated.

ABSTRACTA PbTiO3(001) film grown on MgO(001) by pulsed laser deposition is examined as an example to demonstrate the applications of the domain stability map for epitaxial perovskite films which shows regions of stable domains and fractions of domains in a polydomain structure. X-ray diffraction studies indicate that the film has a …c/a/c/a… domain structure in a temperature range of °C to 400°C with the fraction of c-domains decreasing with increasing temperature. These experimental results are in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions based on the stability map.

AbstractGaN, AIN and AIGaN layers were grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy. 6H-SiC wafers were used as substrates. Properties of AIN/GaN and AIGaN/GaN structures were investigated. AIGaN growth rate was about 1 μm/min. The thickness of the AIGaN layers ranged from 0.5 to 5 μm. The AIN concentration in AIGaN layers was varied from 9 to 67 mol. %. Samples were characterised by electron beam micro analysis, Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and cathodoluminescence.Electrical measurements performed on AIGaN/GaN/SiC samples indicated that undoped AIGaN layers are conducting at least up to 50 mol. % of AIN.

Electron probe x-ray micro-analysis was used to study the elemental concentration changes that occur during pilocarpine-stimulated saliva secretion. Quantitative x-ray micro-analysis of elemental concentrations in intracellular compartments of rat parotid glands stimulated in vivo with pilocarpine showed that Na concentration was significantly increased, while K concentration was significantly reduced. The magnitude of these changes was consistent with values obtained in other tissues with the x-ray micro-analysis method, and in the same tissue with other experimental methods. Comparisons with results from studies utilizing dispersed acini suggest that acinar dispersion procedures may affect intracellular elemental concentrations. Total electrolyte concentrations in cytoplasm and secretory granules were estimated to increase on a dry-weight basis following pilocarpine stimulation. The former change is consistent with the notion of a trans-cellular route of salivary fluid flow, while the latter change may be important in the exocytosis of secretory granules.

Chemical quantitative analysis of effective anticorrosion component and micro-analysis of hydration products of fly ash and slag on the influence of the nitrites corrosion inhibition was studied by the free nitrite ion concentration and X-ray diffraction pattern. The free nitrite ion concentration was used to describe the corrosion inhibition effect of nitrites. And the X-ray diffraction patterns were used to analyze the adsorption properties. The research results show that fly ash and slag were beneficial for improving the corrosion inhibition effect of nitrites. Cement-based materials with slag at low content presented high free nitrite ion concentration, but the addition of low content of fly ash harmed the corrosion inhibition effect of nitrites. The specimens incorporated with both fly ash and slag can reach the highest free nitrite ion concentration when the compounding proportion was 1:1. It was concluded that the extent of mineral admixtures of the corrosion inhibition effect of nitrites was affected by its type and content.
