Cordierite–mullite composite crucibles were prepared via high-temperature solid-state process by using burn talc, datong soil, knar clay, bentonite, quartz, feldspar and alumina as raw materials, waste porcelain powder as skeletal material. The main influencing factors such as the raw materials radio and calcination temperature were discussed. The microstructure of the sintered sample was analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the optimal prescription was sample II (13.34 wt% of burn talc, 10.496wt% datong soil, 40.65% knar clay, 15.00wt% waste porcelain powder,10.34wt% bentonite, 2.17wt% feldspar, 1.61wt% quartz, and 6.394wt% of alumina). The optimal sintered temperature was 1380°C and the holding time was 3 hours.

This article examines the influence of fly ash on corrosion resistance of refractory forsterite-spinel ceramics by molten iron as a corrosive medium. Fly ash in comparison with alumina were used as raw materials and sources of aluminium oxide for synthesis of forsterite-spinel refractory ceramics. Raw materials were milled, mixed in different ratios into two sets of mixtures and sintered at 1550°C for 2 hours. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and thermal dilatometric analysis. Crucibles were then made from the fired ceramic mixtures and fired together with iron at its melting point of 1535°C for 5 hours. The corrosion resistance was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy on the transition zones between iron and ceramics. Mixtures with increased amount of spinel had higher corrosion resistance and mixtures with fly ash were comparable to mixtures with alumina in terms of corrosion resistance and refractory properties.

CaF2 nano-power was prepared by direct precipitation methods with Ca(NO3)2 and KF as raw materials. The influences of presintering temperature and sintering temperature on the particle size and distribution of CaF2 nano-power were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). This study provided an experimental method for preparation of CaF2 nano-power. The results show that the best presintering temperature of CaF2 nano-power is 500°C and the best sintering temperature of CaF2 ceramic is 900°C.

The main objective of this paper was to investigate the addition of iron tailing sintering brick production, in the presence of clay, coal refuses and bentonite. Mixtures containing raw materials of sintering brick and iron tailings were prepared at different proportions (up to 55 wt %), fired at 980°C. Freeze/thaw durability, drying and firing shrinkages were investigated as well as the loss on ignition, bulk density and compressive strength of the fired samples. Their mechanical and microstructure properties were also investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA/TG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that compressive strengths of the brick samples are higher than that required by the standards MU15 of GB5101-2003, up to 21.79Mpa with 40% iron tailings corresponding to its higher bulk density completely. Moreover, the results showed that it has such advantages as no lime blowing, uniform color, good freeze/thaw resistance and slight universal frost.

A one-step carbon thermal method was used to prepare LiFePO4/C particles by using normal Fe2O3, LiH2PO4and sucrose as raw materials. The effect of H2content in the sintering atmosphere of N2on the morphology and the electrochemical performance were investigated. LiFePO4/C materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and the elemental analyzer. The results show that the precursor sintering under the atmosphere of 8%H2+N2exhibits the highest electrochemical capacity (162.3 mAh/g at 0.1C) .

Abstract During the excavations carried out since 2017 in the House of the Mithraeum (Casa del Mitreo) in Mérida a collection of paintings was recovered from Room 11, which had been abandoned in the late 3rd c. CE after a fire. The remains included fragments of molded stucco cornices, with braided esparto grass ropes on the reverse that were used to attach them to the ceiling. This article presents the descriptive and technical study of the finds and their compositional analysis using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Data resulting from these analyses allow us to understand the fragments’ composition and technical execution, and even the possible circulation of workshops and raw materials.

The crystal zinc borate (Zn3B6O12·3.5H2O) nano-strips and nano-flakes were successfully prepared by a wet method using boric acid (H3BO3) and Zn(NO3)2·H2O as raw materials in situ aqueous solution, and triethanolamine as the modifying agent. The nano/microstructures and morphologies of the as-obtained samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It had been found that the as-prepared materials displayed nanostrips with average length from 100 to 200nm and the thicknesses about 30nm as well as nanoflakes with diameter about 4μm and thickness about several nanometers morphology.

Archaeological excavations at the Sungai Batu Archeological Complex have unearthed potsherds with monument structures. The discovery of the potsherds enables scientific studies of X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis to be conducted and resolve related issues such as where the raw materials were obtained by the manufacturers. To solve the issue, potsherds were taken from around the ancient river, and scientific analyses was conducted for comparison purposes. Before the clay sample was subjected to the scientific analyses, the samples were cleaned and measured (for weight, thickness and width). Color sampling was also performed. Based on results of the analyses, it clearly shows that the potsherds was produced using raw materials from the ancient river in the Sungai Batu Complex itself and baked at a temperature between 550°C and 650°C.

This paper reports, the studies on chemical transformations at thermal treatment of a mixture of SrCO3 and Co3O4 corresponding to stoichiometric ratio of SrCoO3 compound. The mixture of raw materials was prepared by mechanical activation. Thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used for these studies. It was found that SrCoO3 forms at 930oC but is not stable and turn immediately into Sr2Co2O5 by eliminating of oxygen. This compound, Sr2Co2O5, is unstable and by increasing of the temperature decomposes in Sr3Co2O6 and cobalt oxide. At temperatures above the 1250oC, the samples melt and Sr3Co2O6 crystallizes from vitreous phase by cooling.

LaPO4nanorods have been selectively synthesized via a hydrothermal route, using La (NO3)3·6H2O and NaH2PO4as raw materials, without using any catalyst or template. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), IR spectra (IR) and photo-luminescence (PL) spectra were used to characterize the as-prepared samples. The morphological changes of the products due to the different mole ratios of La (NO3)3·6H2O and NaH2PO4were studied. The effect of the thermal treatment on the structure of the LaPO4nanorods was also investigated. In addition, the emission intensity of LaPO4nanorods with different Eu doped concentration was compared and discussed.
