The study results of mica bearing rocks from the Mamskoye and Kuletskoye deposits and the processes, involved in grinding and activating muscovite mica from the rocks using a ball and a planetary mills, a disintegrator and a pneumoimpulsive installation depending on different time intervals and other grinding factors, are presented in this paper. The resultant materials were examined by the methods of X-ray phase analysis, derivatography, microscopy and others, which resulted in drawing the conclusions concerning the applicability of different mechanical treatment methods applied in obtaining ground mica for various uses.

The article presents the study results for alkaline leaching of fine ilmenite concentrate dusts from electric smelting. The physical and chemical properties of the dusts were studied using chemical and instrumental analysis methods. The dust composition was determined, X-ray phase analysis showed that the dust sample substance is in the X-ray amorphous state, iron is present in the trivalent state, and silicon is bound to magnesium. The dust sample study using a scanning electron microscope showed that part of the titanium is bound in a hard-to-disclose anasovite encapsulated in amorphous silicon oxide. The leaching study of electric smelting dust with sodium hydroxide solutions included the study of the effect of sodium hydroxide concentration, process duration, temperature, S: L ratio. The optimal conditions for dust leaching from electric smelting of ilmenite concentrate have been established: temperature 80-90 °C, duration 90-120 min, ratio S: L = 1: 5, the concentration of sodium hydroxide solution 110-115 g/dm3. The silicon extraction degree into the solution under these conditions was 77.7%. The behavior of accompanying components of chromium, zinc, iron, and manganese during dust leaching was also studied. X-ray phase analysis of the cake after leaching shows almost complete amorphization of the leached product, the main phase is a solid solution of Fe2O3·TiO2.

This article shows a study of the effect of mechanical activation of the initial mixture of reagents NiO and Fe2O3 at different speeds of grinding bowl rotation on synthesis of nickel ferrite. Nickel ferrite was produced by the solid-phase synthesis at a temperature of 900 °C for 240 minutes. The obtained ferrite samples were investigated by thermal gravimetric and X-ray phase analysis. The Curie temperature values are obtained, as well as the magnitude of the change of detected instrument weight at the magnetic phase transition (ferromagnetic-paramagnetic) of nickel ferrite using thermal gravimetric curves (TG/DTG) with applied external magnetic field. Increasing of the homogeneity degree of ferrite materials with an increase in the mechanical activation rate is shown based on the data of X-ray phase analysis. The experimental results obtained from thermal, magnetic, and X-ray analyzes were compared.

Starting powder mixtures of ZnO and TiO2, at the molar ratio that is in accordance with the stoichiometry of zinc titanate Zn2TiO4, were mechanically activated using a planetary ball mill in different time intervals from 0 to 90 minutes. X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and non-isothermal dilatometric measurements were performed in order to investigate zinc titanate formation. Processes occurring during mechanical activation led to the formation of a specific structure of obtained powders that promoted and accelerated solid-state reactions and densification during sintering. The main conclusion based on analysis is that mechanical activation enables better compaction of activated powders, i.e. possibility of achieving higher densities of green bodies without binders, but first of all that Zn2TiO4 ceramics can be obtained by mechanical activation after a certain time with appropriate thermal treatment, i.e. heating rate and sintering time, at temperatures lower than those when non-activated mixtures were used.

Investigations of a ZnO-TiO2 binary oxide mixture during mechanical treatment were mainly focused on obtaining orthotitanate Zn2TiO4 with a spinel structure. Due to the specific way of energy transfer during mechanical treatment using a high-energy ball mill, the system passes through low temperature ZnTiO3 metatitanate phase formation. Mechanical activation was performed on an equimolar ratio mixture of ZnO and TiO2. The anatase phase was previously submitted to heat treatment for achieving a starting mixture rich in a rutile phase. Milling conditions were preset for observing the formation of a low temperature ZnTiO3 phase with a perovskite structure. The powder microstructure was characterized using scanning electron microscopy. A nitrogen gas sorption analyzer with the BET method was used to determine the specific surface area and porosity, indicating changes of powder sample properties during mechanical activation. Also, X ray powder diffractometry was applied to obtain the phase composition. Powders were then pressed into pellets and their compressibility was observed through density changes. According to microstructures obtained by scanning electron microscopy analysis, the system underwent a primary and secondary agglomeration process. Specific surface area measurements supported that conclusion. Compressibility investigations established the difference between compressibility of the non-activated mixture and activated powders. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that a perovskite structure forms simultaneously with a spinel phase during the process of mechanical activation.

Development of strategies for removing heavy metals from aquatic environments is in high demand. Cadmium is one of the most dangerous metals in the environment, even under extremely low quantities. In this study, kenaf and magnetic biochar composite were prepared for the adsorption of Cd2+. The synthesized biochar was characterized using (a vibrating-sample magnetometer VSM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The adsorption batch study was carried out to investigate the influence of pH, kinetics, isotherm, and thermodynamics on Cd2+ adsorption. The characterization results demonstrated that the biochar contained iron particles that help in improving the textural properties (i.e., surface area and pore volume), increasing the number of oxygen-containing groups, and forming inner-sphere complexes with oxygen-containing groups. The adsorption study results show that optimum adsorption was achieved under pH 5–6. An increase in initial ion concentration and solution temperature resulted in increased adsorption capacity. Surface modification of biochar using iron oxide for imposing magnetic property allowed for easy separation by external magnet and regeneration. The magnetic biochar composite also showed a higher affinity to Cd2+ than the pristine biochar. The adsorption data fit well with the pseudo-second-order and the Langmuir isotherm, with the maximum adsorption capacity of 47.90 mg/g.

A qualitative phase identification system for crystalline mixtures is presented. The system provides up to five-phase qualitative identification using up to nine-peak filtration, and additive full peak matching based on the powder diffraction file of ICDD. It was implemented using Microsoft Visual C++, and runs under most common Windows systems. Screenshots and examples are included.
