In order to characterizeclays of the Zinder region, 20 samples were taken from the quarries of Magaria, Mirriah, Guidimouni and Kolleram and four composite samples were made and representative of the quarries. These samples were subjected to chemical and mineralogical analyzes. Chemical analysis shows that the materials from these four quarries are aluminosilicates, but in varying proportions. The samplesfrom the Magaria and Kolleramquarries, contain proportions of carbonwhichinducethem a blackishcolor and alkaline and alkaline-earthelements (CaO, K2O, MgO. The samplesfromMirriah and Guidimouni,are veryrich in ironoxide (Fe2O3) whichinduces a reddishcolor. The main mineralogical phases detected by X-ray diffraction in the rawsamples and fine fractions from the four quarrieswere kaolinite, a mica structure close to illite and quartz.Thesequarriesthenconstitutekaolinicdeposits, primary and secondary. Those of Magaria and Kolleram are secondary and less favorable to formulations of ceramicproducts and those of Mirriah and Guidimouni are primary and very favorable to formulations of ceramicproductssuch as potteryfromMirriah.

In this paper the synthesis and the study of some complex compounds of Fe(III) with ligands derived from: 2-(4-chloro-phenylsulfanyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-3,5-diiodo-phenyl)-ethanone (HL1), 1-(3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxy-phenyl)-2-phenylsulfanyl-ethanone(HL2), and 2-(4-chloro-phenylsulfanyl)-1-(3,5-dibromo-2-hydroxy-phenyl)-ethanone (HL3) is presented. The characterization of these complexes is based on method as: the elemental chemical analysis, IR and ESR spectroscopy, M�ssbauer, the thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction. Study of the IR and chemical analysis has evidenced that the precipitates form are a complexes and the combination ratio of M:L is 1:2. The central atoms of Fe(III) presented paramagnetic properties and a octaedric hybridization. Starting from this precipitation reactions, a method for the gravimetric determination of Fe(III) with this organic ligands has been possible. Based on the experimental data on literature indications, the structural formulae of the complex compounds are assigned.

Bentonite Clays

The State of Paraíba, Brazil, retains about 88.5% of all Brazilian bentonite, and much of this production comes from deposits in the District of Boa Vista, PB. Nevertheless, the deposits are almost depleted. Recently, new deposits were found, which will increases the reserves of the State, in the regions of Cubati and Pedra Lavrada, PB. The objective of this work is to characterize and develop purified clays, through sieving and hydrocycloning techniques, from those recently discovered bentonites for several applications. The characterization of the sample was done through granulometric analysis by laser diffraction, X-ray diffraction, chemical analysis by X-ray fluorescence, and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis. The results show that the samples are typical of bentonite clays, and that the purification solely by hydrocyclone presents the best results.

Application Fields

Ornamental rocks are among the most promising business areas of the mineral sector, raising the necessity for, besides beauty, investments in quality, safety and characterization in the various application fields of these rocks. So, this work aims at the microstructural characterization of the class of these rocks: the Cariri Rocks, also known the limestone, which are calcareous rocks mainly formed by calcium and magnesium carbonate, possibly presenting variations due to their origins. For characterization, we studied four samples, being two from Chapada do Apodi and two from Chapada do Araripe, characterized physically and micro-structurally through chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, optical micrography and porosimetry tests. The results prove that the limestones are calcitic and dolomitic, and present porosity varying from 5 to 15%, with pores concentration between 100nm and 10μm, besides the high microstructural heterogeneity.

AbstractA composite of CaTi0.9Fe0.1O3 and electrolyte material, i.e. magnesium doped La0.98Mg0.02NbO4 was prepared and studied. The phase content and the sample microstructure was examined by an X-ray diffraction method and scanning electron microscopy. EDS measurements were done both for composite samples and the diffusion couple. The electrical properties were studied by four terminal DC method. The high-temperature interaction between the two components of the composite has been observed. It has been suggested that lanthanum diffused into the perovskite phase and substituted for calcium whereas calcium and niobium formed the Ca2Nb2O7 pyrochlore phase. At 1500°C very large crystallites of the pyrochlore were observed. Regardless of strong interaction between the composite components, its total conductivity was weakly dependent on the sintering temperature.

This work has for objective to characterize the clay from Vale do Mulembá-ES. The Vale do Mulembá is located in Joana D´Arc, Vitória in Espírito Santo State, Brazil. That clay is used in the production of the traditional clay pans of the State, what contributes to the economy of the area. The clay from Vale do Mulembá presents characteristics and behavior different from the other clays used for the production of clay pans. The characterization studies were carried out through chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, particle size distribution, plasticity and thermal analyses (DTA, TGA). The results showed that the clay is typical kaolinitic, present relatively to the amount high of Al2O3 and high plasticity.

Graphite oxide (GO) is generated by treating graphite with strong oxidizers. GO retains the structure of graphite, but does so with a larger and irregular basal plane spacing. The oxidation of graphite results in the formation of epoxide groups, as well as C–OH and COOH groups. It is the presence of some of these moieties that allows GO to be dispersed in water, allowing for its use in waterborne formulations. Although GO does not possess the electrical properties of single-sheet graphene, it can be swelled in water, which allows for intercalation of hydrophilic polymer between GO sheets, resulting in a composite that can be coated to produce a continuous film. After coating it may be possible to chemically convert GO to a reduced graphite oxide (r-GO) with improved electrical conductivity. X-ray diffraction (XRD) is ideally suited to evaluate GO–polymer composite samples for evidence of intercalation or exfoliation of GO. Examples of GO–polymer analysis by XRD are presented, along with results that demonstrate the effect of relative humidity (RH) on neat GO. Knowing the ambient RH during XRD data collection was found to be important to correctly assess the extent of polymer intercalation within the GO lattice.

AbstractGallosilicate NAT-framework zeolites have been synthesized from Na2O:TMA2O:Ga2O3:SiO2:H2O gels and characterized by chemical analysis and powder X-ray diffraction. The structure of a hydrated material (Orthorhombic, Fdd2, a = 18.423(4) Å, b = 18.826(3) Å, c = 6.652(1) Å) was determined using powder neutron diffraction. The framework Si:T ratio, Si-Ga segregation and non-framework cation and water configurations are similar to those in the analogous aluminosilicates. The geometrical effects of framework gallium substitution are consistent with those observed for other zeolite framework topologies.

Fenton System

AbstractAlternative Fenton and Fenton-like systems based on natural Fe oxides are described. The collected materials were modified through controlled reduction with H2 and were characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, saturation magnetization measurements, and Mössbauer spectroscopy at 298 and 110 K. The catalytic activities of these original and modified materials were tested by studying the decomposition of H2O2 and the discolouration of methylene blue. Iron oxides present in the samples were mainly hematite and subordinate goethite which, after controlled reduction, were converted to metallic iron and magnetite. The mixture of Fe0 and magnetite in one of these materials was significantly more efficient at H2O2 decomposition and the discolouration of methylene blue than the original Fe3+ oxides. These results suggest that Fe2+ is essential to produce an active Fenton system.
