Based on the background that large amount of iron ore tailings are stockpiled in China, the utilization of iron ore tailings to prepare sintering brick was studied. The main objective of this paper was to investigate the influence of sintering temperature on sintering bricks from iron ore tailings, in the presence of clay, coal refuses and bentonite. Sintering bricks were prepared at different temperature with 40 wt% iron ore tailings. Drying was investigated as well as the loss on ignition, bulk density and compressive strength of the specimens. Their mechanical and microstructure properties were also investigated by radioactivity, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that compressive strengths of the specimens produced were higher than that required by the standards MU20 of GB5101-2003, up to 128.0Mpa at 1100°C corresponding to its higher bulk density completely.

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.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of sintering temperature on the synthesis of SiC produced from rice husk ash (RHA) and 2B graphite pencils. The SiC was synthesized by using solid state reaction method sintered at temperatures of 750°C, 1000°C and 1200°C for 26 hours, 11.5 hours and 11.5 hours, respectively. The quantity and crystallinity level of SiC phase were measured by means of Rigaku MiniFlexII X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The microstructure of SiC was examined by using Tescan Vega3SB Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The XRD results showed that the concentration (wt%) of SiC phase increases with the increasing of sintering temperature. SEM results showed that the crystallinity level of SiC crystal is improving as the sintering temperature increases

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.

Layered ternary compounds Ti3SiC2combines attractive properties of both ceramics and metals, and has been suggested for potential engineering applications. Near-fully dense Ti3SiC2bulks were sintered from commercial Ti3SiC2powders by hot press at 1350°C-1600°C for 60-120min under Ar atmosphere in this paper. The phase compositions and morphology of the as-prepared samples were evaluated by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). And the mechanical properties were measured by Three-Point bending method. It was found that the Ti3SiC2had only a little of decomposition at sintering temperature above 1350°C. And effects of sintering temperature and holding time on the morphology of the bulk Ti3SiC2are not obvious. Relative density of 98% and flexural strength of 480MPa were obtained for the Ti3SiC2samples sintered at 30MPa and 1400°C for 90min.

View of the importance that has the development in the field of advanced technology transmission in human life, smart materials draws the attention of many researchers. In this contribution, we are interested in synthesizing a new smart material of the ceramic type based on Pb, Zr, Ti (PZT) doped La in the site A, and Sb, Zn in site B from a solid solution of pure oxides. The synthesized samples are thermally treated at 800°C. The techniques of x-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy) are used to characterize the microstructure (the crystallographic phase), and the densities of the obtained samples were determined from their weights and volumes. The effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure properties was studied.

The effects of sintering temperatures on phase behavior of products from rutile and quartz by aluminothermic reduction nitridation (ARN) were investigated in this study. The crystalline phase and morphology of the samples were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. As the temperature was 1200 oC, the phases were corundum, TiN, Si and a small amount of cristobalite. Mullite were initially observed when it reached 1300 oC. A small amount of Si3Al3O3N5 was detected when the temperature rose to 1400 oC. More corundum, TiN and Si3Al3O3N5 were obtained at 1500 oC. The quantities of TiN and corundum increased slightly at 1550 oC while Si3Al3O3N5 reduced. In addition, the microstructure of well-developed β-Sialon crystals was long columnar and the TiN particles distributed in the composites.

The porous TiO2 pellets were prepared based on pigment grade titaina, P25 titania powder and titanium(IV) butoxide. The characterization was done with X-Ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and BET measurements. The result shows that TiO2 pellets by using titanium(IV) butoxide with some addictive have the best surface porosity, with specific surface area of 196.9m2/g. For pigment grade titania and P25 titania powder, it is still effective to enhance the surface area after reassembling. The surface area increased from 11.6 to 29.2 m2/g for pigment grade titania and from 50 to 84.4 m2/g for P25 titania powder. Furthermore, it has been investigated on how to optimize and get the highest surface area by controlling the sintering temperature, reaction temperature, pH of solution, and the amount of alcohol and addictive of surfactant during preparation. The experimental photocatalytic degradation of acetone and toluene was performed using titania pellets made from P25 titania powder.

ABSTRACTIn this study, multilayered PbTixZr1-xO3 (PZT) samples (produced at sintering temperatures in the range of 1175 °C to 1325 °C) were electrically fatigued by long-term exposure (∼106 cycles) to electric fields, and the parameters of initial and remnant polarization were estimated. Changes in the crystallographic microstructure as a function of sintering temperature Ts were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to gain insight on fatigue mechanisms and their prevention. Results showed that domain wall movement was facilitated in samples processed at TS less than 1250 °C, and that such samples were more resistant to electrical fatigue.
