Abstract Acidizing is the most commonly used method to stimulate carbonate reservoirs. To achieve a better assessment of the operation, a flowback analysis is conducted. Flowback analysis can give insights on the reservoir's response to the recipe. This analysis can be used to improve future treatment operations where some recommendations were deduced. The objective of this paper was to show the flowback analysis methodology following carbonate acidizing treatments with a focus on dissolved elements. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), and inductive coupled plasma (ICP) were used to determine the composition of flowback fluids and the filtered precipitate. Combining the data from different techniques onsite and in laboratory assess the development of a methodology for calculating more accurate amounts of dissolved elements, formation water, and volumes of recovered fluids. This analysis showed acid recipes efficiency of nearly 100% based dissolved calcite. Around 65% of injected fluids were lost into a formation. The iron concentration during the flowback was 1400 ppm, however, cumulative amount of iron in flow back samples was below expected value. Based on the formation's rock analysis, the theoretical amount of iron in the recovered flowback fluid was 1000 kg. The measured amount of iron was 500 kg and the rest could be assumed to be precipitated in a reservoir. This study helps in understanding the flowback fluid analysis and its importance by using a step-by-step analysis procedure for flowback fluid samples from the carbonate acidizing operations. The results of this study help in tracking the elements that potentially help in estimating the lost fluids volumes and percentage of success for a carbonate reservoir acid operation.

Gallstones contain precipitated cholesterol, calcium salts, and proteins. Calcium (Ca) bilirubinate, palmitate, phosphate, and carbonate occurring in gallstones have variable morphologies but characteristic windowless energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectra. Previous studies of gallstone microstructure and composition using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDX have been limited to dehydrated samples. In this state, Ca bilirubinates appear as either glassy masses, which predominate in black pigment stones, or as clusters, which are found mostly in cholesterol gallstones. The three polymorphs of Ca carbonate, calcite, vaterite, and aragonite, have been identified in gallstones by x-ray diffraction, however; the morphologies of these crystals vary in the literature. The purpose of this experiment was to study fresh gallstones by environmental SEM (ESEM) to determine if dehydration affects gallstone Ca salt morphology.Gallstones and bile were obtained fresh at cholecystectomy from 6 patients. To prevent dehydration, stones were stored in bile at 37°C. All samples were studied within 4 days of procurement.

Sintering Method

Bismuth silicate micro-crystals with grain array structure were prepared by sintering method under atmosphere pressure. The samples were characterized for structural and surface morphological properties by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). The result shows that stable grain arrays grow by iterative mode. If a stable grain array eliminates, a new stable grain array will generate. In a stable parent array, an offspring array may generate after the corresponding partial elimination of its parent array. If one part of an offspring array stops growing, it will be as a new parent array, and then its offspring grain array will create. The sum of the lengths of an offspring array and the corresponding eliminated part of its parent array is equal to the length of the next eliminated part of its parent array. It means the growth rate of an offspring array is equal to that of the corresponding survived part of its parent array. There is a highly correlation between grain array length and average grain line spacing. It means that larger average grain line spacing corresponds to the stable grain array with lager length. When average grain line spacing increases 1?m, the corresponding array length will increase approximately 7.6?m.

Soft Chemical Route

Nanocrystalline CaTiO3 powders doped with Fe2O3 have been prepared using a soft chemical route. Precipitation of CaTiO3 nanocrystals has been studied by monitoring the exothermic peak in their DSC spectra. The crystal growth temperature of the samples depends on the concentration of iron. Surface morphology, crystal structure, optical and electrical properties of the nanostructures are investigated. X-ray diffraction study shows that the as-prepared powders are amorphous in nature and CaTiO3 phase formation starts at around 500 0C. Rietveld analysis revealed that the particle size of iron substituted CaTiO3 is in nanometer range. Optical bandgap of the nanostructures varies from 4.3 to 3.7 eV for the variation of iron concentration from 0.05 to 0.2 mole %.

The study reported was intended to improve the leaching rate of boron-bearing tailings, using a method of sodium roasting that uses boron-bearing tailings as the raw material and Na 2 CO 3 as the sodium agent. The effects of the roasting temperature and Na 2 CO 3 amount on the leaching rate of boron-bearing tailings are mainly evaluated. The morphology and composition of the samples after sodium roasting are analysed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results show that sodium roasting can significantly improve the leaching rate of boron-bearing tailings. Under the optimal conditions where roasting temperature is 950°C, Na 2 CO 3 amount is five times the theoretical amount and roasting time is 2 h, the leaching rate of boron-bearing tailings is up to 86.78%. Based on the analysis of the characterization results and the mechanism analysis of the sodium roasting process, the main reason for the increase of leaching rate is the reaction between Na 2 O produced by the decomposition of Na 2 CO 3 and the boron in boron-bearing tailings resulting in soluble sodium borate. The results provide a scientific basis for the efficient comprehensive use of boron-bearing tailings.

AbstractThe Proterozoic carbonate stromatolites of the Pahrump Group from the Crystal Spring formation exhibit interesting layering patterns. In continuous vertical formations, there are sections of chevron-shaped stromatolites alternating with sections of simple horizontal layering. This apparent cycle of stromatolite formation and lack of formation repeats several times over a vertical distance of at least 30 m at the locality investigated. Small representative samples from each layer were taken and analysed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), environmental scanning electron microscopy – energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, and were optically analysed in thin section. Optical and spectroscopic analyses of stromatolite and of non-stromatolite samples were undertaken with the objective of determining the differences between them. Elemental analysis of samples from within each of the four stromatolite layers and the four intervening layers shows that the two types of layers are chemically and mineralogically distinct. In the layers that contain stromatolites the Ca/Si ratio is high; in layers without stromatolites the Ca/Si ratio is low. In the high Si layers, both K and Al are positively correlated with the presence and levels of Si. This, together with XRD analysis, suggested a high K-feldspar (microcline) content in the non-stromatolitic layers. This variation between these two types of rocks could be due to changes in biological growth rates in an otherwise uniform environment or variations in detrital influx and the resultant impact on biology. The current analysis does not allow us to choose between these two alternatives. A Mars rover would have adequate resolution to image these structures and instrumentation capable of conducting a similar elemental analysis.

Application Fields

X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) are widely used analytical techniques for materials characterization; the information they provide can be considered complementary, as the former is mostly used to obtain crystallographic information and analyze phase content, whereas the latter is sensitive to elemental composition. Many researchers and technologists working in a variety of application fields already use them together in some sort of a “combined” approach, by separately performing XRD and XRF data collection and analysis on the same sample and then comparing the analytical results obtained to integrate and complement the respective analytical information. In this work, we propose a true combined approach to merge both XRD and XRF data acquisition and analysis. Custom analytical X-ray instrumentation has been developed to perform the simultaneous data acquisition, by using a single X-ray source and dedicated detectors to collect the diffracted and fluorescent X-ray photons from the same sample volume. Additionally, a combined XRD/XRF data analysis methodology has been implemented by extending Rietveld based code to incorporate the full pattern fitting of XRF spectra starting from the phases instead of a simple matrix elemental composition. We report two analytical examples from different application fields to better illustrate the capabilities of the proposed approach.

Abstract In this research, iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by green synthesis and identified by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and vibrational magnetometer. The tea leaves extract was used as a reducing agent to synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles. The systematic study of the process was performed using Design Expert 10 software to determine the relationship between the four process variables, namely iron concentration, extract volume, time, and temperature effect. The square model was significant for the response variables. The iron oxide nanoparticles had super-magnetic properties. Then, iron oxide nanoparticles were used for magnetization of activated carbon (MAC). Finally, the MAC were used for phenol removing by response surface methodology (RSM) method. The results manifested that the generated MAC is quite effective in removing phenol. Various parameters such as pH, extraction time and adsorbent amount were optimized by the RSM method. The absorption of phenol was measured by using a spectrophotometer at a maximum wavelength of 510 nm. It was also indicated that phenol in an aqueous solution was removed up to 98%.

Sol Gel Synthesis

Bioactive powders of the binary SiO2-CaO, ternary SiO2-CaO-P2O5 and quaternary systems SiO2-CaO-P2O5-Na2O/Mg2O were synthesized using a sol-gel route. The gels were converted into bioglasses powders by heat treatments at the temperature of 700°C. The resulting materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM) and in vitro bioactivity in acellular Simulated Body Fluid (SBF). The in vitro tests showed that the samples had good apatite-forming ability. Glasses doped with sodium and magnesium show good results in terms of bioactivity and mechanical properties. The results showed that the quaternary glass SiO2-CaO-P2O5-Na2O containing Na is the most bioactive, only 6 hours after its immersion in SBF; a layer of hydroxycarbonated apatite (HAC) was deposited on the glass and compressive strength of up to 233.08 MPa with a porosity of 11.02%, due to the presence of the Na2Ca2Si3O9 phase. Magnesium also affects bioactivity because it has improved from binary to ternary to quaternary doped with magnesium, bioactive from 12h of contact with the SBF.
