A glass system was prepared according to the formula 60mol%B2O3 – x mol %barite – (40-x) mol %Li2O, where x=0, 5, 7.5, 10, 15 and 20 mol%. The amorphous nature of the prepared glasses was confirmed through X-ray diffraction. The prepared glasses were also characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and the differential thermal analysis (DTA). The density is found to increase and this is because of the higher molecular of the added barite. The molar volume also increases with increasing barite content that indicates the structural changes occurred in borate network that were also confirmed using FTIR. Increasing the concentration of barite shifts the UV cutoff edge toward higher wavelengths from about 300 nm at 0 mol% barite to about 400 nm at 15 mol% of barite. Glass transition temperature (Tg) is found to increase with the increasing barite content. When analyzed by photoluminescence, the samples exhibit luminescence emission centered at around 400, 415, 480, 430, 485, 520, 545, and 570 nm when excited at 300 nm wavelength. The emission peaks at 420 nm, and 440 nm were assigned to F center emission. Between 440 nm and 520 nm it is rather the effect of the presence of the impurities.

Seven mixed hydroxides of magnesium and aluminium were prepared, and phase and structural changes accompanying their dehydration were investigated by differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The differential thermal analysis curves possess 2 peaks corresponding to those of parent hydroxides together with a new peak, and the thermogravimetric analysis curves show slight inflections. X-ray diffraction patterns of the mixed hydroxides possess the characteristic lines of the parent hydroxides together with three to five new intense lines which might indicate the formation of a double hydroxide. When the mixed hydroxides are progressively heated they give rise to products possessing patterns which first become diffuse and ultimately pass mainly into the spinel pattern.Adsorption isotherms of cyclohexane and benzene were measured on the mixed hydroxides and their dehydration products. Specific surface areas calculated by the application of the Brunauer, Emmett, Teller (B.E.T.) equation are in general in good agreement for the two adsorbates. The surface area increases with rise of dehydration temperature to a maximum at 500–600 °C and then decreases with further rise in temperature. This behavior is common to crystalline oxide systems and may be ascribed to the intermingling of decomposition, re-crystallization, and sintering processes. Variations in the molecular ratio of the mixed oxides (as much as 20-fold), and in the method of preparation, do not much alter the surface area.

Nanostructured Fe25Al57.5Ni17.5intermetallics was prepared directly by mechanical alloying (MA) in a high-energy planetary ball-mill. The phase transformations and structural changes occurring in the studied material during mechanical alloying were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Thermal behavior of the milled powders was examined by differential thermal analysis (DTA). Disordered Al(Fe,Ni) solid solution was formed at the early stage. After 50 h of milling, Al(Fe,Ni) solid solution transformed into Al3Ni2,AlFe3,AlFe0.23Ni0.77 phase. The power annealed at temperature 500 results in forming of intermetallics AlFe3 and FeNi3 after 5h milling. The nanocrystalline intermetallic compound was obtained after 500h milling.

Sebuah penelitian tentang sistem dispersi padat dari asiklovir dengan poloxamer 188 telah dilakukan formulasi dengan pencampuran secara fisika dengan rasio 1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 5 dan dispersi padat 1 : 1, 1 : 3, 1 : 5 dan penggilingan 1:1 sebagai pembanding. Dispersi padat dibuat menggunakan metode pencairan (fusi), yang digabung dengan poloxamer 188 pada hotplate kemudian asiklovir dimasukkan ke dalam hasil poloxamer 188 lalu di kocok hingga membentuk masa homogen. Semua formula yang terbentuk termasuk asiklovir poloxamer 188 murni dianalisis karakterisasinya dengan Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), dan Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), kemudian pengambilan dilakukan  (penentuan kadar) mengunakan spektrofotometer UV pada panjang gelombang 257,08 nm dan uji laju disolusi dengan aquadest bebas CO2 menggunakan metode dayung. Hasil pengambilan  (penentuan kadar) menunjukkan bahwa semua formula memenuhi persyaratan farmakope Amerika edisi 30 dan farmakope Indonesia edisi 4 yaitu 95-110%. Sedangkan hasil uji laju disolusi untuk campuran fisik 1: 1, dan dispersi padat 1: 1, dan penggilingan 1: 1 menunjukkan peningkatan yang nyata dibandingkan asiklovir murni. Hal ini juga dapat dilihat dari hasil perhitungan statistik  menggunakan analisis varian satu arah  SPSS 17.

Natural stones (limestones, granites, and marble) from mines located in northeastern Brazil were investigated to discover their potential for use in civil construction. The natural stones were characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, and optical microscopy. The physical-mechanical properties (apparent density, porosity, water absorption, compressive and flexural strength, impact, and abrasion) and chemical resistance properties were also evaluated. The results of the physical-mechanical analysis indicated that the natural stones investigated have the potential to be used in different environments (interior, exterior), taking into account factors such as people’s circulation and exposure to chemical agents.

ABSTRACTNineteen roman ceramic sherds found near Salobreña (Granada, Spain), in the western coast of the Mediterranean Sea, as well as different ceramic clays from the surroundingsare studied. Both clays and ceramic sherds are characterizad by X-ray diffraction and spectrometry, differential thermal analysis, and scanning electron and optical microscopies. A good number of the ceramic pieces, among which some “Terrae Sigillatae”, have a composition similar to that of the local clays and, thus, have been probably manufactured at Salobreña. Only a few of them have a foreign origin. For most of them, the firing temperature was about 800-850 °C, although some have been produced at 900-1000 °C, and some others at 1000-1100 °C. It is concluded that Salobreña appearsto have been an important settlement just in the third century of the Christian era.

Abstract The influence of the refractory coating which is a mixture of silica flour and kaolin on the surface roughness of the plate castings produced using evaporative patterns had been considered in this work. The kaolin was used as a binder and ratio method was employed to form basis for the factorial design of experiment which led to nine runs of experiments. Methyl alcohol at 99% concentration was used as the carrier for the transfer of the coating to the surface of the patterns. Pouring temperature was observed as a process parameter alongside the mix ratios of the coating. Attempts were made to characterize the refractory coating by using two methods; differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction. Attempt was also made to characterize the casting material. Gating system design was done for the plate casting to determine the correct proportions of the gating parameters in order to construct the gating system properly to avoid turbulence during pouring of liquid metal. A digital profilometer was used to take the measurements of the surface roughness. It was observed that the mix ratio 90% silica flour-10% kaolin produced the lowest value of the surface roughness of the plate castings and had the lowest material loss in the DTA test. The pouring temperature of 650°C produced best casting.

The State of Paraíba, Brazil, retains about 88.5% of all Brazilian bentonite, and much of this production comes from deposits in the District of Boa Vista, PB. Nevertheless, the deposits are almost depleted. Recently, new deposits were found, which will increases the reserves of the State, in the regions of Cubati and Pedra Lavrada, PB. The objective of this work is to characterize and develop purified clays, through sieving and hydrocycloning techniques, from those recently discovered bentonites for several applications. The characterization of the sample was done through granulometric analysis by laser diffraction, X-ray diffraction, chemical analysis by X-ray fluorescence, and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis. The results show that the samples are typical of bentonite clays, and that the purification solely by hydrocyclone presents the best results.
