Lignite samples, Huolinhe(HLH) and Xiaolongtan(XLT) lignites were used for experiments. Mild pyrolysis experiments were carried out by final temperature 150~450°C. Physical and chemical properties have been investigated using thermogravimetric, FTIR analysis, nitrogen adsorption and oxygen-functional group analysis. Besides, the changes of the surface properties during upgrading were characterized in detail. The results show that specific surface area and moisture-holding capacity have the trend of first decreases and then increases in the upgrading temperature range. Furthermore, the decomposition of the oxygen-bearing functional groups on the coal surface which reduced the moisture-holding capacity. Oxygen absorption experiments indicate that thermal upgrading could decrease the tendency of lignite to spontaneous combustion.

Natural zeolite of Shivirtui deposit (Russia) was modified with nanofibers of aluminum oxyhydroxide AlOOH. Aluminum oxyhydroxide nanofibers were produced at the heating and oxidation of aluminum powder with water. The properties of modified zeolite were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electronic microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, thermal analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It was found that water content in the modified sample of zeolite was about 15 %. Based on the study of the physical and chemical properties, shivirtui zeolite modified with nanofibers of aluminum oxyhydroxide can be proposed for use as a flame-retardant additive to polymers.

Abstract The printability properties of the paper can be increased by some processes applied to the surface. The use of non-recyclable materials derived from petroleum is decreasing day by day, and the demand for recyclable materials obtained from renewable sources is increasing. These materials include cellulose derivatives, starch types and polyvinyl alcohol. The materials ratios, sizes, physical and chemical properties of these materials used in the processes applied to the paper and the content of the paper will affect the strength of the paper as well as change the surface properties and significantly affect the printability.In this study, fluting and core board papers coated with different amounts of cellulose nanofiber/ cellulose nanofiber-oxidized (CNF/CNF-OX) were produced. Surface properties, contact angle, surface energy, color and gloss of the produced papers were measured by optical microscope, goniometer, spectrophotometer and glossmeter. The papers were printed with the IGT C1 offset printability tester. The color and gloss properties of the printed papers were measured. As a result, in terms of printability, it was determined that CNF/CNF-OX coated papers have smoother surfaces and give better results in terms of both gloss properties and printability.

AbstractAmmonium dioxothiotungstate was synthesized using different tungsten sources and characterized in detail by powder X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption, and temperature-programmed sulfidation. It was found that tungsten oxide nanobelts are superior to ammonium metatungstate as tungsten source for the synthesis of ammonium dioxothiotungstate due to a time-consuming aging step being excluded from the synthesis route. Moreover, detailed characteristic data reveal that, when tungsten oxide nanobelts are used, the physical and chemical properties of the resulting ammonium dioxothiotungstate including particles size, specific surface area, and sulfidation pattern were improved. Also, the hydrodesulfurization measurements showed higher catalytic activity and balanced selectivity of the resulting ammonium dioxothiotungstate.

Crystal engineering has been defined as "the understanding of intermolecular interactions in the context of crystal packing and the utilisation of such understanding in the design of new solids with desired physical and chemical properties".[1] Halogen bonding is a significant type of intermolecular interaction involving a halogen atom with neutral or anionic components which has recently been exploited for the formation of multicomponent crystalline materials. Sulfur can exist in a variety of different oxidation states, giving rise to a wide variety of different functional groups that are potentially available for halogen bonding. We have recently reported our investigations with sulfoxide,[2] sulfone[2] and sulfinamide functional groups.[3] Herein we extend this work to include the thioamide functional group and compare it with its more extensively studied amide analogue. Investigation into the propensity for primary aromatic thioamides to form halogen interactions through the thiocarbonyl (C=S) functional group. A range of substituent aromatic primary thioamides containing different electronic substituents on the aromatic ring were synthesized and investigated for cocrystallisation. These cocrystals are held together by a combination of weak hydrogen bonding (N–H···S=C) and strong halogen interactions (C–X···S=C).

This paper systematically studied the pore structure, crystal phase, surface acidity and the chemical environment of aluminum of boron-doped γ-alumina, by impregnating boron in the period of boehmite. The nitrogen adsorption, XRD, FTIR etc. technique was used to determine the pore texture, crystallography, acid/base properties and aluminum coordination. the XRD spectrum of boria-alumina have no significant change due to the addition of boron. The specific surface area and pore volume diameter of B-Al2O3 increase significantly. The NMR spectra of B-Al2O3 shows that boron changed the chemical environment of aluminum, which caused differences in the physical and chemical properties of the surface.

Synthesis and characterization of hydrophilic polyelectrolyte was performed in this work and used as draw solute for forward osmosis (FO) process. The effect of different ratios of acrylic acid (AA) and benzoyl peroxide (B) on the properties of polyelectrolyte was studied in this work. The physical and chemical properties of draw solution (DS) such as pH, conductivity, osmolality, viscosity, molecular weights and functional group were investigated. Results showed that the solution osmolality increased with increasing AA/B ratio. Self-synthesized polyelectrolytes with different molecular weights (MWs) were further correlated with its solution osmolality. The self-synthesized polyelectrolytes of PAA-K and PAA-Na showed an increasing of hydrophilic functional groups such as –OH or COOH. PAA-Na with lower MW and high osmotic pressure in the aqueous solution is found to exhibit a lower reverse solute flux during FO process. Meanwhile for the polyelectrolyte with higher MW, higher viscosity and lower diffusion coefficient were reported.

The ash of Huadian oil shale is made to remove H2S in this experiment. XRD and nitrogen adsorption experiments are used to analyze the physical and chemical properties of the ash, the results show that the ash of oil shale has many metal and nonmetal oxides, and also has much microporous and mesoporous, all above is helpful to remove H2S. The sample is modified by different ways to see the change of adsorption capacity. the sample which is modified by alkali and sprinkler is the best adsorbent, but the sample which is modified by microwave does not increase the removal ability obviously.

In connection with the spectrophotometric study of population-type characteristics of various kinds of stars, a statistical analysis of kinematical and distribution parameters of the same stars is performed at the Toruń Observatory. This has a twofold purpose: first, to provide a practical guide in selecting stars for observing programmes, second, to contribute to the understanding of relations existing between the physical and chemical properties of stars and their kinematics and distribution in the Galaxy.

Biomimetics involves investigation of structure, function, and methods of synthesis of biological composite materials. The goal is to apply this information to the design and synthesis of materials for engineering applications.Properties of engineering materials are structure sensitive through the whole spectrum of dimensions from nanometer to macro scale. The goal in designing and processing of technological materials, therefore, is to control microstructural evolution at each of these dimensions so as to achieve predictable physical and chemical properties. Control at each successive level of dimension, however, is a major challenge as is the retention of integrity between successive levels. Engineering materials are rarely fabricated to achieve more than a few of the desired properties and the synthesis techniques usually involve high temperature or low pressure conditions that are energy inefficient and environmentally damaging.In contrast to human-made materials, organisms synthesize composites whose intricate structures are more controlled at each scale and hierarchical order.
