XRD and XRF analysis on the ancient bricks were conducted to identify whether the raw materials to produce the bricks originate from the site. Candi Kampung Baru is recorded as one of the temple that used bricks as the main construction material. This site is suggested to be built between the 8th to 10th centuries AD based on the size of the bricks and imported ceramics associated with the structure. The position of this candi that is facing to the north is a major indication that the candi in Kampung Baru Site is one of the many Buddhist candis that have been found in Bujang Valley. This study used X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis techniques to identify the composition of the major and trace elements and minerals found in the bricks. The results of the analysis on the ancient brick of Candi Kampung Baru revealed that the mineral content contained in the brick samples consists of quartz, muscovite, microcline and sanidine. Minerals found suggest that open burning technique was used during the brick making process with the local raw clay sources were used to produce the bricks. The results therefore implied that the participation of the local communities in Old Kedah Kingdom contributed to the prosperity of this region.

Characterization of dolomite samples from Bone Bolango, Gorontalo Province have been performed with the objective to find out their mineralogical and chemical compositions. Observation and mineral analyses were carried out by means of microscopy and X-ray diffraction methods respectively; whereas chemical composition was determined by using X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Result of XRD analysis shows that samples contain dolomite [CaMg(CO3)2], calcite [CaCO3] and [SiO2]. The proportion of dolomite is about 60.4% in average and its presence is as replacement of calcite in bioclast components and matrices in the rock. Dolomite crystals are characterized by mosaic texture with euhedral – subhedral in shapes. Spacially, dolomite content increase from west to the east of study area. The XRF analysis reveals that dolomite samples contain MgO ranging between 8.07 and 20.78% while CaO ranges between 30.04 and 56.13%. The SiO2 concentration ranges from 3.50 – 7.55%; whereas Al2O3 ranges from 1.07 – 1.84%. The average MgO content of dolomite about 12.89% can be categorized as calcium dolomite. Dolomite within the study area can be used directly in agriculture sector, but it less suitable as raw materials in glass, ceramic and refractory industries because the average content of MgO is less than 17%. However, it can be increased of their MgO with the application of selective mining or beneficiation process.

Dolomite has a large amounts of MgO and is an important raw materials for steel, iron and refractory industries. In this paper thermal behavior of Zefreh dolomite at various temperatures was studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT - IR) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The DTA curve shows two endothermic peaks at 772 and 834?C. The first peak is associated with the formation of magnesia (MgO), calcite(CaCO3) and CO2. The second peak represents the decomposition of calcite with formation of CaO and further CO2 release. At 772?C quantitative XRD analysis in atmospheric condition shows small amounts of CaO (less than 2%) which form simultaneously or later than calcite. TGA curve shows total weight loss for decomposition of dolomite is 46.2%. By increasing heating time of samples in furnace, dolomite decomposes in lower temperatures. X-ray diffraction analysis of heat treated samples up to 750?C indicates that dolomite structure changes into calcite. The increases in quartz content accelerated the mechanochemical deformation and amorphization of dolomite phase. At high temperature ( more than 1000?C) Ca3Mg(SiO4)2 and CaSiO4 were formed. XRD and FTIR confirm dolomite decomposition reactions.

Lithium titanate nanorods have been synthesized via the hydrothermal process using lithium acetate, titanium butoxide and ethylenediamine as raw materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis shows that lithium titanate nanorods are composed of orthorhombic Li 2 Ti 3 O 7 phase. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows that the diameter and the length of lithium titanate nanorods are about 40–150 nm and 1 μm, respectively. UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum indicates that the bandgap of the lithium titanate nanorods is 3.63 eV. Ethylenediamine plays an essential role in the formation of lithium titanate nanorods. Ethylenediamine-assisted nucleation and crystalline growth process have been proposed to explain the formation and growth of lithium titanate nanorods. Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye over the lithium titanate nanorods has been investigated under UV-Vis light irradiation. MB solution with the initial concentration of 2.5 mgL-1 can be degraded totally using 10 mg lithium titanate nanorods in 10 mL MB solution.

Background: The deposits of iron tailing will pose a great risk of environmental pollution and serious landscape impact which will affect the quality of life of humans. Therefore, it is urgent to utilize iron tailing to produce valuable products. Methods: The tailing ceramsites were analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The roles of the tailing content, sintering temperature and duration time in the performance of the tailing ceramsites were analysed and the optimal sintering parameters were determined. Results: The bulk density, apparent density and cylinder compressive strength of the tailing ceramsites increase considerably with the increase of the sintering temperature and duration time. The cylinder compressive strength of the tailing ceramsites increases with increasing the tailing content. The optimal sintering parameter is 1100°C for 40 min. The cylinder compressive strength of the tailing ceramsites obtained at 1100°C for 40 min reaches 10.1 MPa. XRD analysis shows that the tailing ceramsites mainly consist of CaSiO3, Al2SiO5, MgSiO3, Ca7Si2P2O16, CaAl2Si2O8, Ca2Fe2O5 and SiO2 phases when the sintering temperature and duration time were increased to 1100°C and 40 min, respectively. Conclusion: The tailing ceramsites were obtained from iron tailing, sludge and fly ash as the raw materials at 1100°C for 40 min. The obtained ceramsites exhibited high mechanical performance.

Belite-calcium sulfoaluminate (BCSA) cements are special binders obtained from non-Portland clinkers; they have become increasingly more important due to their environmental impact during the manufacturing process compared to Portland cements, such as lower energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The aim of this paper was to assess the possible use of titanogypsum (T) and water potabilization sludge (W) to reduce the amount of natural raw materials (natural gypsum and clay, respectively) used in the production of BCSA cements. Three BCSA clinker generating raw mixes, containing T and/or W, and a reference mix based only on natural materials (limestone, clay, bauxite and natural gypsum) were heated in an electric furnace at temperatures ranging from 1200 to 1350 °C. Quantitative X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the burnt products showed high conversion of reactants towards the main hydraulically active BCSA clinkers components (C2S and C4A3$), particularly at temperatures of 1300 and 1350 °C. Isothermal calorimetric measurements, differential thermal–thermogravimetric and XRD analyses as well as porosimetric measurements showed that all BCSA cements, from mixing the clinkers (at optimum temperatures) with commercial anhydrite, exhibited similar hydration behavior.
