In this study, we have performed the preparation of reswellable amorphous porous celluloses through regeneration from hydrogels. The cellulose hydrogels were first prepared from solutions with an ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIMCl), in different concentrations. Lyophilization of the hydrogels efficiently produced the regenerated celluloses. The powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopic measurements of the products suggest an amorphous structure and porous morphology, respectively. Furthermore, the pore sizes of the regenerated celluloses, or in turn, the network sizes of cellulose chains in the hydrogels, were dependent on the concentrations of the initially prepared solutions with BMIMCl, which also affected the tensile mechanical properties. It was suggested that the dissolution states of the cellulose chains in the solutions were different, in accordance with the concentrations, which representatively dominated the pore and network sizes of the above materials. When the porous celluloses were immersed in water, reswelling was observed to regenerate the hydrogels.

Lead electrodeposition processes from the basic (nitrate) and complex (acetate) electrolytes were mutually compared by the scanning electron microscopic and the X-ray diffraction analysis of the produced powder particles. The shape of dendritic particles strongly depended on the type of electrolyte. The dendrites composed of stalk and weakly developed primary branches (the primary type) were predominantly formed from the basic electrolyte. The ramified dendrites composed of stalk and of both primary and secondary branches (the secondary type) were mainly formed from the complex electrolyte. In the both type of powder particles Pb crystallites were predominantly oriented in the (111) plane. Formation of powder particles of the different shape with the strong (111) preferred orientation was discussed and explained by the consideration of the general characteristics of the growth of a crystal in the electrocrystallization processes.

In order to study the phase of Fe and Ti in a beach placer , different methods such as the X-ray diffraction analysis, chemical analysis, scanning electron microscopic , electron probe microanalysis are used to study the characteristics of the beach placer . The research results show the major metallic mineral in the beach placer is titanic magnetite, EDS and energy spectrum map features of which indicate that the vast majority of titanic magnetite contain a certain amount of Ti , the two elements of Fe and Ti take on closely symbiosis and distribute more evenly in titanic magnetite. The Ti exists in the Magnetite lattice in form of isomorphism. The theoretical highest grade of Fe and Ti in the separated Magnetic concentrate are 66.02per cent and 4.86 per cent respectively. In addition, the beach placer contains a small quantity of Ilmenite which is hysterogenic and exists in the form of fine solid solution separation structure in the titanic magnetite

The present research focus is to design a new catalyst by doping polyoxometalate (POM) in conducting polymers. Polypyrrole (PPy)-doped Keggin type POM [PMO12O40]3− with various molar concentrations were synthesized using the coprecipitation method. The doped samples were synthesized and characterized using spectral techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectra, which show the presence of extended functional groups, and scanning electron microscopic morphology exhibits a square-shaped structure. X-Ray diffraction results reveal crystallite size of around 40 nm. The conductivity of PPy is 3.3 × 10−6 S cm−1, whereas polyacid-doped polypyrrole has resulted in increased conductivity of 7.12 × 10−5 S cm−1. The antimicrobial activity of PPy revealed a better antibacterial activity due to the presence of the NH group and aromatic ring in the structure.

     A mineralogical study using X-ray diffraction supported by scanning electron microscopic examination on the Paleocene- Eocene Kolosh and Gercus formations from northern Iraq is conducted to show the distribution of clay minerals and their paleoenvironmental implications. Smectite palygorskite, kaolinite, illite, and chlorite are commonly present in varying proportions within the Kolosh and Gercus formations. Association of smectite and chlorite in the claystone of the Paleocene Kolosh Formation refers to marine environment of this formation, whereas development of palygorskite fibers from smectite precursor may relate to post-depositional diagenesis. In addition, the abundance of illite and kaolinite in the Eocene Gercus Formation suggests a greater influence of terrigenous input in humid conditions, affecting the distribution of these clay minerals. The study shows vertical change in clay minerals distribution when illite and kaolinite dominate in the Eocene Gercus Formation, in comparison to chlorite and smectite abundance in the Paleocene Kolosh Formation which may relate to global warming in the Eocene.

Multifunctional Ag2S-Ag heterogeneous porous nanorods were synthesised by the irradiation of microwave in 210s .The nanorods were characterized by scanning electron microscopic (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photocatalytic activity for degradation of crystal violet and the lowest detectable limit of crystal violet are tested. Results show that the degradation rate of crystal violet can reach almost 100% within 50 min, the detection limit of crystal violet as low as 1×10-6 M. They indicate that the Ag2S-Ag heterogeneous porous nanorods would be a promising material for environmental protection.
