The modality, physical and chemical characteristics, mineralogy and distribution of particle size of coal ash were studied by modern analytic technology SEM, spectral analysis, X - ray Diffraction (XRD) and laser granularity analyzer. The test results show that the mineralogy of coal ashes is dominated mainly by mullite, quartz and hematite.The coal ash of Yang Zonghai power plant has lower content of calcium oxide and is low calcium ash.At the same time, the losing amount is low to burn.The particle diameter is small and mainly concentrates on the range of 1-40 m.

Due to the large quantity of fly ash produced during the combustion of coal, it has become necessary to give greater applicability to this residue of low commercial value. The residue contains inorganic oxides which can act on the crystalline structure of zeolites, namely silicon and aluminum oxide. The coal ash was submitted to physical and chemical treatments with the aim of potentiating the silicon and aluminum extraction from the residue. The pure ash and the treated ashes were characterized by: X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). By means of the carried out characterizations it was observed that the treatments were effective for the extraction of aluminosilicates from the matrix. The treatments did not affect the morphology, the crystalline phases and neither the chemical composition of the ashes. Seeing this, the coal ash and its treatments showed to be a precursor for the synthesis of zeolites.

The crystal structure of La2Mg17-xSnx solid solution was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction for the first time. This phase crystallizes in hexagonal symmetry with space group P63/mmc (a = 10.3911(3), c = 10.2702(3) Å, V = 960.36(6) Å3, R1 = 0.0180, wR2 = 0.0443 for the composition La3.65Mg30Sn1.10) and is related to the structure of CeMg10.3 and Th2Ni17-types which are derivative from the CaCu5-type. A series of isotypical solid solutions La2Mg17-xMx (M = Ni, Sn, Sb, x ~0.8) was synthesized and studied by X-ray powder diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and fluorescent X-ray spectroscopy. All solid solutions crystallize with the structure related to the Th2Ni17-type. The electrochemical hydrogenation confirmed the similar electrochemical behavior of all studied alloys. The amount of deintercalated hydrogen depends on the physical and chemical characteristics of doping elements and increases in the sequence Sn < Mg < Sb < Ni. The most geometrically advantageous sites are octahedral voids 6h of the initial structure, thus a coordination polyhedron for H-atom is an octahedron [HLa2(Mg,M)4].

During the electrochemical realkalisation treatment for carbonated concrete, the bond strength between rebar and concrete was changed duo to the physical and chemical action. The pull-out test was used to study the effect of current density on the bond strength between rebar and concrete. The realkalisated products of the concrete were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Test results show that after electrochemical realkalisation treatment (ERT), the bond strength of reinforced concrete increases; The current density has the significant effect on the bond strength; The amount of sodium silicate of the concrete is changed after ERT, Due to the increment of the sodium silicate that can increase the bond strength between the concrete and the rebar, it makes for the increase of the bond strength.

Introduction: In Mexico, there is a lack of information on morphological, physical and chemical characteristics of acorns of Quercus, which makes it difficult to make decisions on the use that can be made to the fruits. Objectives: To identify the morphological, physical and chemical characteristics of Quercus rugosaNée, Q. sideroxyla Humb. & Bonpl. and Q. deserticola Trel. acorns. Materials and methods: From each species, 10 trees were selected and 30 acorns per tree were collected. Mature acorns were characterized morphologically (polar and equatorial diameter, shell weight and total weight) and in physicochemical characterization (moisture, dry matter, ash, crude fiber and protein, ethereal extract and tannins) green and mature acorns were used. Differences among species and among maturity stages were determined with an analysis of variance (P ≤ 0.05) and subsequent Tukey’s test. Results and discussion: Morphology varied among species and among trees of the same species (P < 0.05); Q. deserticola had the largest acorn size (15.69 mm) and weight (1.94 g), and Q. sideroxylaproduced the smallest acorns. Maturity stage and species significantly (P < 0.05) influenced chemical composition; mature acorns had higher content of ethereal extract (8.88 %) and protein (8.40 %). Pearson’s correlation indicated that acorn weight was strongly associated with crown diameter and diameter at breast height. Conclusion: Significant differences were found in morphology and chemical composition of acorns of each species, although they inhabit sites with similar characteristics.

Silver halide grains (AgX, X=Cl,Br,I) are commonly recognized as important entities in photographic applications. Depending on the preparation specifications one can grow cubic, octahedral, tabular a.o. morphologies, each with its own physical and chemical characteristics. In the present study crystallographic defects introduced by the mixing of 5-20% iodide in a growing AgBr tabular grain are investigated. X-ray diffractometry reveals the existence of a homogeneous Ag(Br1-xIx) region, expected to be formed around the AgBr kernel. In fig. 1 a two-beam BF image, taken at T≈100 K to diminish radiation damage, of a triangular tabular grain is presented, clearly showing defect contrast fringes along four of the six directions; the remaining two sides show similar contrast under relevant diffraction conditions. The width of the central defect free region corresponds with the pure AgBr kernel grown before the mixing with I. The thickness of a given grain lies between 0.15 and 0.3 μm: as indicated in fig. 2 triangular (resp. hexagonal) grains exhibit an uneven (resp. even) number of twin interfaces (i.e., between + and - twin variants) parallel with the (111) surfaces. The thickness of the grains and the existence of the twin variants was confirmed from CTEM images of perpendicular cuts.
