The present paper focuses on the experimental investigation of the aluminothermic reduction of magnesia under vacuum condition with the fixed magnesia to aluminum molar ratio of 11:6. The influences of reaction temperature and time on the reduction ratio of magnesia were studied. The chemical composition, phase constitution and morphology of the condensed magnesium and the briquettes after thermal reduction were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy dispersive spectrometry. The reduction ratio of magnesia increases with the increase in the reaction temperature and time. The briquettes after thermal reduction at 1050°C-1150°C are mainly composed of the spinel, unreacted magnesia and aluminum. The briquette after 1 hrs thermal reduction at 1200°C contains corundum, magnesium aluminium oxide, trace amount of spinel, unreacted MgO and aluminium.

AbstractWith exquisite design and unique style, the painted sculptures of Tutang Buddha and two attendants Buddha in Jingyin Temple are precious cultural heritages of China. The sculpture of Tutang Buddha, which was carved from a mound and painted by ancient craftsmen, was rarely found in ancient China. However, due to natural and human factors, the sculptures were severely damaged. Obviously, they require urgent and appropriate protection and restoration. In this study, samples taken from the sculptures were analysed through multiple analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM–EDS), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM) and granulometry. The analysis results enable us to infer the techniques used by the craftsmen in making the sculptures and provide a reliable evidence for the conservation and future protection of these and similar sculptures.

AbstractSmall domestic cooking furnaces are widely used in China. These cooking furnaces release SO2 gas and dust into the atmosphere and cause serious air pollution. Experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of vermiculite, limestone or CaCO3, and combustion temperature and time on desulphurization and dust removal during briquette combustion in small domestic cooking furnaces. Additives used in the coal are vermiculite, CaCO3 and bentonite. Vermiculite is used for its expansion property to improve the contact between CaCO3 and SO2 and to convey O2 into the interior of briquette; CaCO3 is used as a chemical reactant to react with SO2 to form CaSO4; and bentonite is used to develop briquette strength. Expansion of vermiculite develops loose interior structures, such as pores or cracks, inside the briquette, and thus brings enough oxygen for combustion and sulphation reaction. Effective combustion of the original carbon reduces amounts of dust in the fly ash. X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis show that S exists in the ash only as anhydrite CaSO4, a product of SO2 reacting with CaCO3 and O2. The formation of CaSO4 effectively reduces or eliminates SO2 emission from coal combustion. The major factors controlling S retention are vermiculite, CaCO3 and combustion temperature. The S retention ratio increases with increasing vermiculite amount at 950°C. The S retention ratio also increases with increasing Ca/S molar ratio, and the best Ca/S ratio is 2-3 for most combustion. With 12 g of the original coal, 1 to 2 g of vermiculite, a molar Ca/S ratio of 2.55 by adding CaCO3, and some bentonite, a S retention ratio >65% can be readily achieved. The highest S retention ratio of 97.9% is achieved at 950°C with addition of 2 g of vermiculite, a Ca/S ratio of 2.55 and bentonite.

Lanthanum-doped lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) powders were synthesized using thehydrothermal method. The influence of pH, reaction temperature and time, lanthanum concentration on the formation and characteristics of PLZT were investigated. Obtained powders were investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques and a dielectric analyzer. The results showed that           Pb1-xLax(Zr0.65Ti0.35)O3 with x= 0.0 – 0.1 were well formed under conditions: pH≥13, reaction time of 12hrs, reaction temperature of 180oC. Dielectric constant of PLZT is higher than PZT. The grain size of the PLZT is found to be 1–3.5 µm.

Abstract. In this study, the CaCO3 powder has been successfully synthesized by mixing CaCl2 from natural limestone and Na2CO3 in the same molar ratio. The mixing process of solutions was carried out by employing the molar contents of 0.125, 0.25, 0.375 and 0.5M at varying temperatures of 30, 40, 60 and 80ᴼC. The produced CaCO3 microparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The highest content of aragonite phase with morphology rod-like of the samples is around 29 wt%, resulting from the process using solution of 0.125 M at 80 ᴼC. While at 30 ᴼC and 40 ᴼC produced 100 wt% calcite phase.

In this study, free Ti/Si/Al/C powder mixtures with molar ratio of 3:0.4:0.8:1.8 were heated in Argon with various schedules, in order to reveal the possibility for the synthesis of Ti3Si0.4Al0.8C1.8 solid solution powder. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used for the evaluation of phase identities of the powder after different treatments. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the morphology of the Ti3Si0.4Al0.8C1.8 solid solution. XRD results showed that predominantly single phase samples of Ti3Si0.4Al0.8C1.8 was prepared after heating at 1400oC for 5 min in Argon and the lattice parameters of Ti3Si0.4Al0.8C1.8 lay between those of Ti3SiC2 and Ti3AlC2.

In this study, the effect of rotational speed on the microstructure and weldability of AISI1030 steel and AISI304 stainless steel welded by friction welding method were investigated experimentally. The weld joints were manufactured with rotational speed (1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, and 2000 rev/min.), friction pressure (40 MPa), forging pressure (60 MPa), forging time (4 s), and friction time (6 s). After the FW process, the microstructures of the weld interfaces were analyzed by optic microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, elemental mapping, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Moreover, the weld strength was analyzed by tensile test, and the fracture behavior was investigated with scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that increased rotational speed had a significant effect on the microstructure and weldability.

The effect of Ti and Sb elements addition on the microstructures and corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanized Zn-11Al-3Mg alloy was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Electrochemical workstation, respectively. Results showed that the grain size of the alloy was obviously refined with the addition of Ti and Sb elements, due to Al3Ti phase as the nucleation substrate resulted in the transformation of Al-rich phase from dendrite to petal-like. In addition, the pitting corrosion resistance of the alloy has been significantly enhanced.

Calcium phosphates with different Ca/P molar ratio can be obtained depending the precipitation conditions such as pH and temperature. In this work the effect of the pH’s variation during the H3PO4 addition in the synthesis of hydroxyapatite-HA, (Ca/P molar ratio 1.67) by neutralization method, was studied. The H3PO4 addition’s rate was 1.0, 1.5, 8.0 mL.min-1 and in other experiment the H3PO4 was added at a time. After the addition was completed the pH ranged from 7-12. The suspensions were kept during 24 hours for ripening. The precipitate was separated from the suspension by vacuum filtration, washed with distilled water and dried at 70°C/24h. Afterwards the materials were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) with heating rate of 10°C/min in air. The calcination of the powders was accomplished at 800°C/3h with heating rate of 10°C.min-1. The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectrometry (FTIR), specific surface area (BET), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the ratio of addition of the acid can influence both the morphology and the formation of the phases (HA and TCP) in the obtained powders.
