The spherical precursors - [Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]Ox and Li [Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 were synthesized by an ultrasonic atomization method via two routes. The [Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]Ox and Li [Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 powders were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental results show that the initial concentration of the raw solution would affect the size of precursor [Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]Ox particles. The Li [Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 particles which were prepared from the mixture of LiNO3 and [Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]Ox were much larger than the precursor particles and those prepared from the LiNO3-[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]Ox may maintain the size of the precursor particles.

Higher environmental standards have made the removal of toxic metals such as hexavalent chromium from wastewater; an important problem for environmental protection. Iron oxide is a particularly interesting adsorbent to be considered for this application. In this study, a new method combining adsorption and magnetic separation was developed to remove Cr ( VI ) from wastewater. The nanocrystalline magnetite as adsorbent was produced via thermo- mechanical reduction of hematite. Various parameters which affect the adsorption of Cr ( VI ) such as time, pH, temperature and initial concentration were investigated using thermo-gravimeters (TG), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic adsorption spectroscopy (AAS) techniques. The maximum adsorption was occurred at pH 2. The adsorption data were fitted well to Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption of Cr ( VI ) increased significantly with increasing of temperature and time.

The influence of Silica fume/Nanosilica on the Performance of phosphoaluminate cement was studied in the paper. The microstructure and morphology was determined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results show that the phosphoaluminate cement with 4% of added Silica fume/Nanosilica(1:1) by weight of cement has an optimum splitting strength, in which the increase of splitting strength are about 15.1%,11.8% and 24.6% at 3days,7days and 28 days. The reason for causing the above results are the hydration rate and the amount of the hydrates of PALC with 4% Silica fume/Nanosilica have been increased significantly at different hydration time because of the role played by Silica fume and Nanosilica together.

In this paper, a facile method was presented to fabricate CuS porous microspheres, which were formed by the intergrowth of CuS polycrystalline nanoslices. The obtained sample has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electronic diffraction (SAED), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). On the basis of the experimental results, we proposed a self-assemble mechanism to elucidate the formation of CuS nanoslice structure.

We present a study of the effect of graphene–PANI nanocomposites on the sensitivity of the urea and glucose multisensory. We used an electroctrochemical multisensor based on two electrodes located in a reservoir with two separate channels. The urease and glu-cose oxidase (GOD) were employed for detecting the urea and glucose, respectively. We characterized the graphene and graphene-PANI samples with X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations. We further performed the Cyclic voltammetry and Amperometry tests. The collected experimental results revealed that the intensity of the peak significantly increases with the concentration of the urea and glucose.

Abstract In this work, mesostructured ZSM-5 zeolite was prepared using chitin as a new template to produce mesoporosity. Different amounts of chitin were used for the synthesis of ZSM-5 in order to verify its influence on the formation of mesopores. All samples were prepared by conventional hydrothermal process. For comparison purposes, ZSM-5 zeolite has also been synthesized without a presence of chitin. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and N2 adsorption techniques. Experimental results showed that the mesopores volume of the obtained samples increased with increasing amount of chitin in the reaction mixture. Therefore, chitin showed to be a promising template for obtaining the ZSM-5 with mesoporous property.

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.

Gallstones contain precipitated cholesterol, calcium salts, and proteins. Calcium (Ca) bilirubinate, palmitate, phosphate, and carbonate occurring in gallstones have variable morphologies but characteristic windowless energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectra. Previous studies of gallstone microstructure and composition using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDX have been limited to dehydrated samples. In this state, Ca bilirubinates appear as either glassy masses, which predominate in black pigment stones, or as clusters, which are found mostly in cholesterol gallstones. The three polymorphs of Ca carbonate, calcite, vaterite, and aragonite, have been identified in gallstones by x-ray diffraction, however; the morphologies of these crystals vary in the literature. The purpose of this experiment was to study fresh gallstones by environmental SEM (ESEM) to determine if dehydration affects gallstone Ca salt morphology.Gallstones and bile were obtained fresh at cholecystectomy from 6 patients. To prevent dehydration, stones were stored in bile at 37°C. All samples were studied within 4 days of procurement.

Aim and Objective: Formation of the gallbladder stones is a common disease and a major health problem. The present study aimed to identify the structures of the most common types of gallbladder stones using X-ray spectroscopic techniques, which provide information about the process of stone formation. Material and Method: Phase and elemental compositions of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones removed from gallbladders of patients were studied using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy combined with scanning electron microscopy analysis and X-ray diffraction. Results: The crystal structures of gallstones which coincide with standard patterns were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Plate-like cholesterol crystals with laminar shaped and thin layered structures were clearly observed for gallstone of pure cholesterol by scanning electron microscopy; it also revealed different morphologies from mixed cholesterol stones. Elemental analysis of pure cholesterol and mixed gallstones using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the different formation processes of the different types of gallstones. Conclusion: The method of fast and reliable X-ray spectroscopic techniques has numerous advantages over the traditional chemical analysis and other analytical techniques. The results also revealed that the X-ray spectroscopy technique is a promising technique that can aid in understanding the pathogenesis of gallstone disease.

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.
