Ag–W two-phase system was prepared by electrodeposition using anhydrous 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [EMIm]Cl ionic-liquid (IL) solution with AlCl3 in different ratios. The deposition took place outside the glove box with a continuous Ar stream over the electrolyte at 120 °C and a pulsed-like current regime. Resultant layers show areas of Ag and W with an overall W content with a mass fraction of w W   = 50% (mole fraction x W   = 36.9%). The phase composition of Ag–W layers was observed by X-ray diffraction, and the chemical composition was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy.

AbstractIn the synthesis of copper chalcopyrite solar absorbers the chalcogen source is always supplied in excess due to its low reactivity. This paper describes preliminary work aimed at addressing this issue through plasma processing. An inductively coupled plasma (ICP) was use to activate both sulfur and selenium vapors. First, the thermodynamic arguments for using activated chalcogens are presented. Next, this paper describes the experimental ICP setup and its characterization using optical emission spectroscopy (OES). Stable discharges have been achieved with both sulfur and selenium vapors using argon as a carrier gas. The potential of this approach was demonstrated by converting indium films into In2Se3 and InSx. The indium samples were inserted into chalcogen-containing ICP plasmas. Through X-ray diffraction it was observed that chalcogen conversion was achieved in a matter of minutes at room temperature by plasma processing.

The effect of the powder quantity on the effectiveness of the mechanical alloying process using different ductile powder systems was studied. X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry-scanning electron microscopy were the techniques employed to characterize the mechanically alloyed powders. Results showed that a same volume of powders, which represented different powder mass quantities for each system and composition, was used to mechanically alloy in an effective way in horizontal ball mills.

The biomass ofVaucheria sessilisforms algal mats in many freshwaters. There is a need to find the method of algal biomass utilization.Vaucheria sessilisis a rich source of micro- and macronutrients and can be used as a soil amendment. In the paper, the elemental composition of enriched, via bioaccumulation process, macroalga was investigated. For this purpose, two independent techniques were used: scanning electron microscopy with an energy dispersive X-ray analytical system (SEMEDX) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The biomass was exposed to two microelemental solutions, with Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions. After two weeks of the experiment, macroalga accumulated 98.5 mg of Zn(II) ions in 1 g of dry biomass and 68.9 mg g−1of Cu(II) ions. Micrographs performed by SEM proved that bioaccumulation occurred. Metal ions were bound on the surface and in the interior of cells. Mappings of all cations showed that in the case of the surface of biomass (biosorption), the elements constituted aggregations and in the case of the cross section (bioaccumulation) they were evenly distributed. The algal biomass with permanently bound microelements can find an application in many branches of the industry (feed, natural fertilizers, etc.).

In this investigation the structure of «green» silica maid with rice husk has been studied by methods of physicochemical analysis. By method of X-ray diffraction it has been found that the samples of «green» silica powders are completely amorphous, and the observed amorphous halo consists of two components. By method of scanning electron microscopy it has been revealed that nano-particles of «green» SiO2 can form agglomerates and microstructures with dimensions from 0,1 to 500 microns, containing numerous pores, which presence has been confirmed by sorption measurements. By method of mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma has been found the presence of aluminum, titanium and nickel mechanical impurities in the «green» SiO2 powders. By method of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy significant amount of fluorine atoms in «green» silica (up to 5% (at.)) has been revealed, which could be introduced in SiO2 in the process of its preparation. In such a case, it was found that fluorine interacts with «green» silica by means of two mechanisms, leading to appearance of two phases within fluorinated powders of «green» SiO2.

Abstract This work focuses on the hydrothermal synthesis of Na-P1 zeolite by using a kaolinite rock coming from Romana (Sassari, Italy). The kaolin is calcined at a temperature of 650 °C and then mixed with calculated quantities of NaOH. The synthesis runs are carried out at ambient pressure and at variable temperatures of 65 ° and 100 °C. For the first time compared to the past, the Na-P1 zeolite is synthesized without the use of additives and through a protocol that reduces both temperatures and synthesis times. The synthesis products are analysed by X-ray diffraction, high temperature X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. The cell parameters are calculated using the Rietveld method. Density and specific surface area are also calculated. The absence of amorphous phases and impurities in synthetic powders is verified through quantitative phase analysis using the combined Rietveld and reference intensity ratio methods.The results make the experimental protocol very promising for an industrial transfer.

A series of metal-loaded (Ru, Pt, Co) alumina catalysts were evaluated for the catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane using tertbutylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant and acetonitrile or acetic acid as solvent. These materials were prepared by the impregnation method and then characterized by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), H2 chemisorption, Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). All the prepared materials acted as efficient catalysts. Among them, Ru/Al2O3 was found to have the best catalytic activity with enhanced cyclohexane conversion of 36 %, selectivity to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone of 96 % (57.6 mmol), and cyclohexane turnover frequency (TOF) of 288 h-1.

The incorporation of magnesium (Mg) in tricalcium phosphate (TCP) was prepared through a precipitation method followed by calcination at 850 °C in air. Calcium hydroxide, (Ca(OH)2), phosphoric acid, (H3PO4), and magnesium chloride (MgCl2.6H2O) with a Ca/P ratio of 1.5, were mixed as the precursor materials. The concentration of added Mg was varied with respect to calcium (Ca) precursor molarity as such Mg/(Ca +Mg) molar ratio was 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15, while the (Ca+Mg)/P ratio was maintained at 1.50 throughout the experiment. The influence of Mg-doped TCP on phase composition, chemical structure, and a functional group at different weight percentages were accomplished through X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. Based in the results of this research, the presence of magnesium led to the formation of Mg-doped calcium-deficient apatite (MgCDA) at 80°C and Mg-doped β-TCP at 850°C; the incorporation of Mg into the TCP phase causing an expansion of the lattice and increase in the lattice parameter. This result could be considered rather unusual.
