Rutile titanium dioxide whiskers with diameter around 2μm and length up to 45μm have been successfully synthesized via a facile flux method, using anatase titanium dioxide as raw material and a mixture of ZnSO47H2O and Na2SO4 as flux. The products were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microcopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). It turned out that the calcined temperature and the type of flux addition affected the crystal phase and morphology of the final product greatly. The results showed that rutile titanium dioxide whiskers obtained at 850 °C for 4 hours had the most uniform morphology. The possible growth mechanism was briefly discussed.

Ba2B5O9Cl whiskers with uniform morphology were synthesized by a simple flux method, using BaCl2•2H2O, H3BO3 as the starting materials, and KCl as the flux. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microcopy (SEM), and the optimum conditions for preparing high quality Ba2B5O9Cl whiskers were studied. Results show that a sintering temperature around 700 °C, an Ba/B mole ratio of 1:3 and a raw materials to flux mass ratio of 1:2 lead to uniform orthorhombic Ba2B5O9Cl whiskers with a diameter of 0.4-1.0 µm and a length of 10-25 µm.

Hardwood is wood from angiosperm trees. The characteristic of hardwood include flowers, endosperm within seeds and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. This paper aims to discuss the preparation and characterization of cellulose obtained from hardwood. The hardwood Merbau (Intsia bijuga) was chosen as raw material in this study. Alkaline treatment and delignification methods were used for the preparation of cellulose. Acid hydrolysis was employed to produce cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). The treated and untreated samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The final product, from both trated and untreated samples were then compared.

Numerous methods have been used to produce high purity TiC. There is no previous study has been reported on the formation using single elemental powders of Titanium (Ti) and Carbon (C) with addition Nickel (Ni) by tungsten inert gas (TIG) weld method. In this work, TiC was synthesized via TIG method by arc melting elemental powder mixture of Ti and C at ~5 second (s) and 80 ampere (A). The effect Ni contents on TiC formation was investigated. The mixed raw material was ball milled for 24 hours followed by synthesis via TIG method. The arced samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was revealed, that small amount of Ni additive to the metal powder allows the production of dense and tough TiC.

The Mo powder and Nb powder was used as raw material, the Mo-10Nb alloy target was prepared by different sintering condition (non-pressure sintering and hot pressing sintering). The density, phase composition, microstructure and elemental distribution of Mo-10Nb alloy targets were determined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that prepared by hot pressing Mo-10Nb alloy target density of 9.618 g/cm3, grain size 20 ~ 30μm, Mo and Nb element distribution.

In this paper, KMnO4 was used as raw material, nano-MnO2 with different morphologies such as flowers globular, hollow tubular and rodlike were obtained by the microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis under the acidic condition. The crystal structure and morphology of the resultant MnO2 were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), respectively. The elements and content of samples were tested by Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). The influence of reaction temperature and holding time on crystal forms and morphologies of the MnO2 was analyzed.

Ba8Ga16Ge30 clathrate material has being intensely investigated as a candidate of promising thermoelectric materials. In this work, Ba8Ga16+xSbxGe30-2x (x=0,1) single crystals have been synthesized by the Ga flux method, using high purity elemental Ba, Sb, Ga, and Ge as starting materials. Powder X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the single crystals. Seebeck coefficient of the crystals was measured from 300 to 800 K. The result indicates that the crystals are p-type semiconductor, which is different from the crystals synthesized by the Czochralski method. The Seebeck coefficient almost does not change after doping Sb in the whole temperature measured and it is in the range of 200 to 300μV/K.

The recycling of industrial residues has being intensified all over the world, mainly due to the increase of the impact to the environment, and the growing volume of solid residues that put in risk the public health and degrade the natural resources. So, the aim of this work is to study the potentiality of the residue from kaolin industry, as ceramic raw material to produce porcelanate gres. A composition was formulated, mixed and forming by pressing (from 30 MPa to 50 MPa). After, it was sinterized at temperatures of 1180°C, 1200°C, 1220°C and 1240°C. The samples were submitted to physical and mechanical tests and characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The preliminary results from physical and mechanical properties showed that the residue can be used to produce porcelanate gres according to Brasilian Norms (NBR 13818), at temperatures of 1220°C and 1240°C.

A novel coal dust depressor was prepared by alkalization and etherficayion reactions using wastepaper as raw material. The sample was characterized by means of FTIR spectroscopy (FTIR)、scanning electron microscopy (SEM)、X-ray diffraction (XRF) and viscometer measurements. The coal dust inhibitor was developed to suppress flying dust over coal dump and conveyor. The result shows that flying coal dust was prevented by intrinsic viscosity of coal dust depressor which was sprayed on the surface stock pile can make the surface material bond with each other to form layer of crust, having a role of dust prevention. Application of the coal dust depressor can reduce the losses of coal and protect the environment from being polluted.

In this paper, we reported a facile microwave-assisted green chemical route to prepare pure, uniform, and monodispersed Cu2O octahedron wrapped by the {111} faces by using glucose as a reducing agent. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry(EDX) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were used to characterize the as-synthesized products. It was found that the morphology and structure of Cu2O crystals were greatly affected by the concentration of NaOH. A solid-solution-solid growth mechanism was possibly proposed on the basis of the comparative experimental results.
