The characteristics of process mineralogy of the some lead-zinc mine were studied with scanning electron microscope, optics microscopes,and x-ray diffraction. The species of lead minerals and zinc minerals and the chemical composition of the minerals were analyzed. The liberations at different grinding finenesses and the particle sizes of the minerals had been also determined. The phase shape of lead and zinc in the ore was also analyzed. The behaviors of various minerals and mineralogical factors affecting the flotation had been explained clearly. The investigation results were favorable to reasonable selection of flotation parameters and would provide theoretical guidance to lead-zinc separation.

The low temperature pressureless sintering of a nanosized Si3N4 powder with doped sintering additives was investigated. The microstructural evolution during sintering at different temperatures was analyzed using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The effect of using nanosized Si3N4 powder as a catalyst to accelerate the α→β–Si3N4 transformation of a commercial Si3N4 powder with larger particle sizes was also investigated. Finally, two stage sintering was used to study the feasibility of controlling the microstructure and the mechanical properties of the nanosized silicon nitride.

Using intermittent bubbling carbonation method to prepare nanoCaCO3, the effect of crystal orientation agents on the morphology of nanoCaCO3 was studied. The nanoCaCO3 was characterized by means of field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Laser particle analyzer. The results showed that the different shapes nanoCaCO3 was synthesized by adding different crystal orientation agents to control the shape of the product. The as-prepared CaCO3 were pure calcite crystal and the average particle sizes were within the range of 25.7 to 60.9 nm.

Al-substituted α-Ni(OH)2 was synthesized by a chemical co-precipitation. The as-prepared α-Ni(OH)2 particles were characterized by the means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The obtained α-Ni(OH)2 particles were well crystallized, spherical shape with the particle sizes of 20-35 nm. The electrochemical performance of β-Ni(OH)2 electrode with addition of nanosized α-Ni(OH)2 was investigated by galvanostatic charge-discharge tests. The nanosized α-Ni(OH)2 as additive in the commercial microsized spherical β-Ni(OH)2 electrode improved the discharge capability. As compared to commercial β-Ni(OH)2 electrode, the electrode with nanosized α-Ni(OH)2 exhibited excellent better charge-discharge cycling stability. It may be a promising positive active material for alkaline secondary batteries.

14C dating of shells from terrestrial and freshwater mollusks is prone to distortion by post-depositional diagenesis as well as incorporation of material depleted in 14C while the mollusk was alive. Three types of diagenetic change can result: etching, the development of surface crusts, and replacement of aragonite by calcite. Inspection under the light microscope, x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscope make it possible to assess the relative importance of the changes. When they are confined to the surface, mechanical cleaning combined with judicious leaching can reduce them to <1% of the total sample. The corresponding errors, which can now be specified, are often no greater than those associated with the statistics of counting.

The structural studies of potassium hexatitanates prepared under both hydrothermal and solid state conditions were carried out. Fourier Transform Infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) results revealed that potassium hexatitanate structure consisted of TiO6 octahedral units irrespective of the preparative conditions and particle size. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that the only potassium hexatitanate phase was detectable and the structure is of the Wadsley-type consisting of chains of Ti-O octahedral sharing edges with tunnels in which the potassium ions are located. From scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results, the different preparative conditions resulted in different particle sizes and morphologies of the potassium hexatitanate formed.

The balance calculation of zinc and lead of No.1 BF of Baotou Iron and Steel Group Co. was performed in this research. The particle sizes of BF dusts were measured by LS230 laser particle size analyzer. The micrology of sinter and dusts were investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Hitachi S-3000) coupled with an energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). The results show that the general burdens of zinc and lead in No. 1 mainly came from sinter and pellet. The burdens of zinc and lead in No.1 BF were 645.45g/t and 370.33 g/t respectively, which were too much to need take some measures. Among the gas ash, the particle size of baghouse dust was minimal, but the contents of lead and zinc were highest. So the BF baghouse dust isn’t appropriate to recover as the sintering materials. The speciation of lead is PbO, PbCl3 and metallic Pb, but zinc never presents as metal in BF dusts.

Y2O3:Tb3+ nanoballs were synthesized via the urea homogeneous precipitation method (UPM). The resulting Y2O3:Tb3+ phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectra, and general photoluminescence spectra. The particle sizes estimated using X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microcopy were about 50–200 nm. The emission intensity of the Y2O3:Tb3+ was low when the doping concentrations of Tb3+ were higher. The optimum concentration of Tb3+ for synthesis of Y2O3:Tb3+ nanocrystals is 1%.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.

Calcium is an important element in the growth and development of plants and one form of calcium is calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate has been found in leaf seed, stem material plant tissue culture, fungi and lichen using one or more of the following methods—polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction.Two methods are presented here for qualitatively estimating calcium oxalate in dried or fixed tobacco (Nicotiana) leaf from different stalk positions using PLM. SEM, coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS), and powder x-ray diffraction were used to verify that the crystals observed in the dried leaf with PLM were calcium oxalate.
