Microstructure of terminal area of Al65Cu32.9Co2.1ingots (numbers indicate at.%), obtained via directional solidification was studied. Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction were applied. Point microanalysis by Scanning Electron Microscope was used for examination of chemical compositions of alloy phases. It was found that tetragonal θ phase of Al2Cu stoichiometric formula was the dominate phase (matrix). Additionally the alloy contained orthogonal set of nanofibres of Al7Cu2Co T phase with the average diameter of 50-500 nm and oval areas of hexagonal Al3(Cu,Co)2H-phase, surrounded by monoclinic AlCu η1phase rim. Inside some areas of H-phase cores of decagonal quasicrystalline D phase were observed.

The TiO2-activated carbon fiber (ACF) was successfully prepared by electrospinning and thermal treatment. The nanofiber was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Brunner-Emmett-Teller method (BET). The results showed that the average diameter of ACF was in the range 200-500 nm, and the preoxidation temperature and carbonation temperature were 250°C and 500°C, and the anatase TiO2 appeared in fiber after carbonation, and TiO2-ACF specific surface area was 1146.7 m2/g. The TiO2-ACF was used for adsorption of low concentration SO2. The results showed that the adsorption rate increased with an increase in SO2 concentration, furthermore the adsorption rate increased with prolonged adsorption time, the high adsorption rate was 67.6% after 40 min. While temperature was below 60°C, the adsorption rate decreased as the temperature increased, however when temperature was above 60°C, there was a slight increase of adsorption rate as the temperature increased.

The flower-like α-Fe2O3superstructures were fabricated by a novel hydrothermal route and sequential annealing at 600 °C for 1 h using FeCl3×6H2O as the starting precursor. The structures and morphologies of the synthesized flower-like superstructures have been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is revealed that the flower-like α-Fe2O3nanostructures consist of nanorods with the average diameter of about 70 nm and an average length of about 200nm growing from the centers. The critical role of urea in the hydrothermal synthesis of the flower-like nanostructures is discussed.

The composite hydrogels based on N,N?-dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) were prepared by amino radical polymerization and confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra (FTIR) and elemental analysis. Then adsorption behavior and mechanism of Cr(VI) ions on the obtained materials were investigated with scanning electron microscope, Zeta potential and thermal gravity analysis, etc. The adsorption process was found to follow the pseudo-second order kinetics and Langmuir model, and the maximum adsorption capacity of Cr(VI) ions reached 122.8 mg g-1. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and pH analysis revealed that the Cr(VI) ions were adsorbed into the gels through electrostatic interaction mechanism, and SO42- in the solution had a great effect on the adsorption process. In addition, high pH and ionic strength could reduce the uptakes of adsorbate, which could be used for desorption of Cr(VI) ions from the gels.

The adsorption performance of mercury ion onto activated carbon prepared from rice husk with NaOH was carried out at initial concentration of 100 mg/L. The activated carbon obtained at 800 °C possessed the outstanding specific surface area of 2786 m2/g. And the results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of Hg2+ was recorded as 342.0 mg/g due to abundant micropores of 1.076 nm. In addition, the adsorption data were well explained by the Langmuir model with the monolayer adsorption capacity of 555.6 mg/g.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.
