The chicken eggshell is a bioceramic composite which constitutes a solid waste material whose final disposal is complex and expensive. Brazil generates significant amounts of eggshell residue. This work aimed to characterize the eggshells of white, red and backyard hens and indicate their technological potential as raw material for ceramic products manufacturing. The eggshells were crushed, ground, sifted in a ABNT number 80 sieve and subsequently analyzed by X-rays fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermal analyses (DTA and TGA). Through XRF it was observed that the main constituent of eggshell is calcium oxide (CaO), with different percentages between the eggshell types. XRD analysis indicated that the chicken eggshells used in this work are mainly composed of CaCO3. DTA and TGA demonstrated that the thermal decomposition of the chicken eggshells occurs in three events: water removal; decomposition of organic matter; and decomposition of CaCO3 in CaO and CO2. By reviewing the literature, it was verified that chicken eggshells have important applications since they can be used in biomedicine, civil construction, food industries and as soil nutrients. As a result, it is possible to conclude that the chicken eggshell is rich in CaCO3 and can be easily calcined to obtain CaO.

The purpose of this study is to characterize Lampung iron sand and to conduct preliminary experiments on the TiO2 synthesis which can be used for the manufacturing of functional food packaging. The iron sand from South Lampung Regency, Lampung Province that will be utilized as raw material. The experiment was initiated by sieving the iron sand on 80, 100, 150, 200 and 325 mesh sieves. Analysis using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) to determine the element content and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) to observe the mineralization of the iron sand was conducted. The experiment was carried out through the stages of leaching, precipitation, and calcination. Roasting was applied firstly by putting the iron sand into the muffle furnace for 5 hours at a temperature of 700°C. Followed by leaching using HCl for 48 hours and heated at 105°C with a stirring speed of 300 rpm. The leaching solution was filtered with filtrate and solid residue as products. The solid residue was then leached using 10% H2O2 solution. The leached filtrate was heated at 105°C for 40 minutes resulting TiO2 precipitates (powder). Further, the powder was calcined and characterized. Characterization of raw material using XRF shows the major elements of Fe, Ti, Mg, Si, Al and Ca. The highest Ti content is found in mesh 200 with 9.6%, while iron content is about 80.7%. While from the XRD analysis, it shows five mineral types namely magnetite (Fe3O4), Rhodonite (Mn, Fe, Mg, Ca) SiO3, Quart (SiO2), Ilmenite (FeOTiO2) and Rutile (TiO2). The preliminary experiment showed that the Ti content in the synthesized TiO2 powder is 21.2%. The purity of TiO2 is low due to the presence of Fe metal which is dissolved during leaching, so that prior to precipitation purification is needed to remove impurities such as iron and other metals.

Hydroxyapatite is a common material applied in orthophedia and dentistry. The application of this material is currently expanded to biotechnology field, such as to be used as support materials for enzymes immobilization. Hydroxyapatite can be synthesized by utilizing chicken eggshell waste in household and food industries. This work is aiming to provide a simple and easy method to synthesize hydroxyapatite from chicken eggshell. The synthesis of hydroxyapatite was firstly carried out by reacting chicken eggshell powder (calcium precursor) with (NH4)2HPO4via modified precipitation at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure. The mixture was then stirred variably for 1, 2, 3, and 24 hours. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis suggests that hydroxyapatite powder derived from this procedure formed a single-phase crystal and it was completely formed after the reaction has run for 1 hour. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image showed that the synthesized hydroxyapatite forms a rice-like pattern. The size of hydroxyapatite crystal measured at (002) plane was about 45 nm. Our result showed that simple modified precipitation at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure in one hour reaction has successfully synthesized hydroxyapatite from chicken eggshell.

Nanocrystalline Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-? powders were prepared by a cost-effective solvent-deficient method using metal nitrates and ammonium bicarbonate as precursors. X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface determination (BET), thermal analyses (TG-DTA-DSC), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to examine the effects of the calcination temperature on the Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-? (BSCF) formation. XRD analysis showed that a cubic Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-? was obtained after heating for 1 h at 1000?C. BSCF nanocrystals with a diameter of about 25 nm were obtained. On the other hand, the sample mass was stabilized at 915?C as recorded by thermogravimetric analysis (TG), indicating a formation of the complex BSCF oxide already at this temperature. The phase transformations during the synthesis of BSCF oxide are defined and confirmed with the note on the instability of the cubic phase. Using the four-point DC measurements between ?73?C and 127?C, the band gap of 0.84 eV was determined. The solvent-deficient method used in this study to synthesize Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-? showed distinct advantages in comparison with other synthesis techniques considering simplicity, rapid synthesis, and quality of the produced nanocrystals.

Abstract Linking the accumulation of microstructural damage prior to crack initiation to the lifing of aero-engines components would help to better predict the time that a component spends in this crack initiation stage. We present the results and analysis of in-situ high-resolution X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments of a Ti-6Al-4V specimen that experienced tensile loading using medium energy synchrotron X-rays (≤ 21 keV) carried out at the Australian Synchrotron. The XRD analysis characterised XRD line-broadening due to the build-up of dislocations and the formation of crystallites in α- and β-Ti-6Al-4V specimens. Using Bayesian XRD analysis methods, the density, spatial arrangement of dislocations, and crystallite size information for α- and β-phases of the Ti-6Al-4V was extracted from the XRD line-profiles, as a function of applied load. The XRD analysis was then compared and validated with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of the specimen before and after the loading. Comparison of the TEM and XRD analysis reveals broad agreement in terms of the microstructural damage of Ti-6Al-4V specimens.

Recently, the use of lignocellulosic fibres to reinforcing composite has received an increased attention. However, lack of good interfacial adhesion makes important the treatment of raw materials. In this study, the raw material Luffa fibres were treated by ionic liquids/water mixture and this treatment proved to be useful by elimination of gummy and waxy substances. The effect of the treatments on the structure of fibres was showed using SEM and XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) analysis. The SEM results revealed that the treatment resulted in a removal of lignin, pectin and hemicellulose substances, and change the characteristics of the surface topography. The XRD analysis shows the increase of crystallinity index.
