Ion Implanted

Modification of bioceramics by ion implantation of magnesium ( Mg ) is of interest as Mg is the fourth abundant cation in the human body. In this work, magnesium was ion-implanted into a ZrO 2 based bioceramic stabilized with Y 2 O 3 and Al 2 O 3. Both Mg -implanted and unimplanted samples were soaked in a simulated body fluid (SBF) for a period of time. The deposits on the surface of various samples were characterized with scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). We find that the Mg -implanted ZrO 2 shows better bioactivity than the plain bioceramic. These results indicate that Mg -implantation can improve the bioactivity of the ZrO 2 based bioceramic. Mechanisms governing the improvement are discussed in this paper.

An investigation on modification of natural zeolite with ZnO for the degradation of tartrazine. In this study, ZnO as a semiconductor is modified into a natural zeolite as support to form ZnO/zeolite that can increase the efficiency degradation of tartrazine. Further, the formed catalyst was added to tartrazine by determining the variation in ozonolysis time, the amount of addition of the catalyst, and the addition of a catalyst time. The results of degradation were determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometer at 424 nm. The result showed that the percentage of degradation obtained on each catalyst in the degradation. The resulted percent degradation of 20 ml of tartrazine at concentration of 15 mg/L using 20 mg ZnO/zeolite was 56.80%, while using 0.77 mg ZnO was 42.25%, and with the addition of 19.23 mg of Zeolite was 31.18%, all of that condition was proceeded by 40 minutes of ozonolysis. Thus, the result indicates that the ZnO/zeolite catalyst can increase percentages of tartrazine degradation by ozonolysis. It is known that the catalyst ZnO/zeolite is very effective in increasing the degradation of tartrazine. Analysis of tartrazine compounds using fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) after degradation changes in wavenumber indicates that there is a breaking of the bonds of tartrazine compounds. Characterization of ZnO/zeolite catalyst using FTIR, X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), in each spectrum there was no shift, indicating that there is no change in ZnO/zeolite structure

In this paper, microbial transglutaminase (MTG) was applied to process silk fabric for improving its crease resistance under the prerequisite of maintaining other performances. Not only was the effect of MTG on silk fabric investigated through the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FR), but analysis was also undertaken in the microcosmic structure of fibroin through the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Solo MTG treatment as well as compound treatments of MTG followed by hydrogen peroxide, protease and ultrasonic, all showed that MTG can improve the crease resistance of silk fabric. It also enhanced its tensile breaking strength or amended damage in the tensile breaking strength caused by pretreatments.Simultaneously, comparison with other treatments showed that compound treatment of MTG followed by ultrasonic exerted a better coordinated effect and conferred better performances, which made the wrinkle recovery angle (WRA) increase by 17.4% and tensile breaking strength improve by 11.2% respectively. At the same time, other performances were still maintained well.

Mass production of GO has always been an issue. Generally, there are 3 general methods available, namely Brodie’s, Staudenmaier’s and Hummer’s Method. These three methods differ in the type of oxidation agents used. There are plenty of developed methods to produce GO were reported in the literature including the improved Hummer’s method. This method is associated with the use of mixture of sulphuric acid/phosphoric acid (H2SO4/H3PO4) in 9:1 ratio without the presence of sodium nitrate (NaNO3).The amount of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) was set at 9.0g. This method allows high yield and ease of control. In this reaction, one of the important indicators was the colour changes during the addition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into the mixture. However, with the large amount of KMnO4 added, the colour change was hardly observed. Therefore, one possible way to cope with that was to vary the amount of added KMnO4. Subsequently, the produced GO were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Στην παρούσα διατριβή μελετήθηκαν οστά και δόντια αρκούδας του είδους U. ingressus πλειστοκαινικής περιόδου, που εντοπίστηκαν κατά τη διάρκεια παλαιοντολογικών ανασκαφών στο Σπήλαιο Λουτρών Αλμωπίας, για την εξαγωγή συμπερασμάτων σχετικών με τη δίαιτα του εξαφανισμένου αυτού είδους και την ανασύσταση των παλαιοπεριβαλλοντικών συνθηκών. Για να διαπιστωθεί η καταλληλότητα των απολιθωμένων δειγμάτων και η αυθεντικότητα του ισοτοπικού τους σήματος, πραγματοποιήθηκε λεπτομερής διαγενετική μελέτη. Στη συνέχεια αναλύθηκαν ισοτοπικά απολιθωμένα οστά και δόντια, σύγχρονα οστά και δόντια, νερά της περιοχής όπου διαβιώνει σήμερα η καφέ αρκούδα (Ursus arctos) και νερά της περιοχής του Σπηλαίου Λουτρών Αλμωπίας. Στο πλαίσιο της διαγενετικής μελέτης, το σύνολο των απολιθωμένων δειγμάτων εξετάστηκε με τις μεθόδους της περίθλασης ακτίνων-Χ (X-Ray Diffraction – XRD), φασματοσκοπίας υπερύθρου με μετασχηματισμό Fourier (Fourier Transform - InfraRed spectroscopy, FTIR) και ηλεκτρονικής μικροσκοπίας σάρωσης (Scanning Electron Microscope - SEM). Οι ίδιες μέθοδοι εφαρμόστηκαν και σε δείγματα οστών και δοντιών της σύγχρονης καφέ αρκούδας, προκειμένου να χρησιμοποιηθούν πιλοτικά και παράλληλα να αποσαφηνιστεί η ποιότητα ορισμένων εξ αυτών λόγω ελλιπών πληροφοριών. Βάσει των αποτελεσμάτων των μεθόδων, της μεταξύ τους σχέσης, των παραμέτρων που υπολογίστηκαν από αυτές και της σύγκρισής τους με τα αποτελέσματα των ισοτοπικών αναλύσεων, ορισμένα από τα δείγματα της παρούσας μελέτης κρίθηκαν ακατάλληλα, καθώς οι διαγενετικές διεργασίες πιθανά αλλοίωσαν το αρχικό ισοτοπικό τους σήμα. Τα υπόλοιπα δείγματα χρησιμοποιήθηκαν στην ισοτοπική μελέτη ανασύστασης του παλαιοπεριβάλλοντος. Στο πλαίσιο της ισοτοπικής μελέτης (δ13C και δ18Ο), αναλύθηκε το ανόργανο μέρος των οστών και των δοντιών (βιοαπατίτης) σύγχρονων και απολιθωμένων δειγμάτων. Οι ισοτοπικές τιμές του άνθρακα χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για την εξαγωγή πληροφοριών της παλαιοδιατροφής, συγκρίνοντας τα αποτελέσματα με βιβλιογραφικά δεδομένα πλειστοκαινικών αρκτοειδών της Ευρώπης, καθώς και με τη σύγχρονη καφέ αρκούδα που διαβιώνει στον ελλαδικό χώρο. Οι ισοτοπικές τιμές του άνθρακα έδειξαν ότι η U. ingressus ακολουθούσε μια παμφαγική διατροφή, με συμμετοχή πρωτεΐνης χερσαίας ή πιο πιθανά ποτάμιας προέλευσης. Αντιθέτως επιβεβαιώνεται η κυρίαρχη φυτοφαγική δίαιτα της σύγχρονης καφέ αρκούδας, με μικρότερη συμμετοχή πρωτεΐνης σε σχέση με την πλειστοκαινική αρκούδα U. ingressus του Σπηλαίου Λουτρών Αλμωπίας. Βάσει των ισοτοπικών τιμών του οξυγόνου του βιοαπατίτη της σύγχρονης καφέ αρκούδας, των νερών της περιοχής που διαβιώνει και του απολιθωμένου υλικού της U. ingressus, κατασκευάστηκαν εξισώσεις που συνδέουν την ισοτοπική τιμή του οξυγόνου των οστών και των δοντιών με το νερό που κατανάλωσε η U. ingressus. Οι ευθείες που προκύπτουν από τις εξισώσεις περιλαμβάνουν ως μόνο παράγοντα διαμόρφωσης της ισοτοπικής τιμής του νερού του σώματος, το νερό που καταναλώνεται. Η παλαιοκλιματική ανασύσταση υποδεικνύει ψυχρότερες συνθήκες σε σχέση με τις συνθήκες που επικρατούν στην περιοχή τη σύγχρονη εποχή. Το συμπέρασμα αυτό βρίσκεται σε αρμονία με την εκτίμηση της ηλικίας των απολιθωμάτων (42.361 χρόνια πριν από σήμερα).

Wastewater and sludge are potential resource of phosphorus (P) for fertilizer production. One method of recovering phosphorus is via chemical precipitation. In the study, phosphorus was recovered from wastewater and sludge. First, hydrolysis was carried out to release the phosphorus in the sludge by the addition of 1.0M acid (sulfuric acid) or base (sodium hydroxide) solution mixed for three hours at 200 rpm. The hydrolyzed sludge was filtered, and the pH of the solution was adjusted to 9.0. Precipitation for both wastewater and hydrolyzed sludge solution was carried out using magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2•6H2O) and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl). The mixture was stirred for an hour for crystallization. Precipitates were allowed to settle for 24 hours before it was filtered and dried in an oven at 55-58oC for 24 hours. The dried sample was grinded and characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray fluorenscence (XRF), and scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy(SEM-EDX).
