The purpose of this study is to find out an effective method to prepare natural hydroxyapatite (HA) from biological source, i.e., pig bones, pig teeth, and extracted human teeth. For the preparation of natural HA a calcining method with different temperatures was used, in combination with the thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Three analysis methods, i.e., Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) have been used to investigate the characteristics of the prepared materials. The spectrum of the prepared material, obtained by means of FTIR and XRD, are consistent with the standard FTIR spectrum and JCPDS index of XRD of hydroxyapitite. It confirms that the material prepared is hydroxyapitite indeed. The natural HA obtained by calcining at 850°C shows a desired quality.

A novel biocompatible Fe2+-chitosan (CTS)/citric acid modified carbon nanotube (CA-CNTs) composite (Fe2+-CTS/CA-CNTs) has been successfully synthesized by covalent bonding and crosslinking chemistry, followed by the reduction. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectrum, X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. The results show that the CTS has been successfully grafted to the CA-CNTs carrier and Fe2+ ions are absorbed on the CTS by coordination bond mode. It was found that the Fe2+-CTS/CA-CNTs composite shows good magnetic properties with a low ratio of remanence to saturation magnetization and is in a superparamagnetic state at room temperature. It is believed that the Fe2+-CTS/CA-CNTs composite will be potential for application in MRI.

The present study is aimed to observe the difference in the Physico-Chemical characteristics of the marketed and formulated bhasma samples through X-Ray Diffraction analysis (XRD), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Zeta potential, Thermo-Gravimetric analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray analysis (EDAX), apart from organoleptic methods. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICPMS) analysis was also done to observe the presence of trace and heavy metals so that the safety of all these samples could be ensured. XRD shows variation in oxide nature of zinc as well crystallite size in all bhasma samples. DLS and SEM results show difference in particle size of marketed bhasma samples as compared to formulated Yashada bhasma. EDAX and ICPMS also confirm the alteration in elemental composition of all these bhasma samples. Thus, it can be concluded that these ayurvedic medicines should be prepared strictly using the formulation methods as mentioned in the Ayurvedic texts. This will help the prepared products to adopt the inherent quality of the ancient system of medicine, which shall be useful and devoid of any side effects for human consumption.

Wollastonite is a natural silicate mineral that can be used as an agricultural soil amendment. Once in the soil, this mineral undergoes weathering and carbonation reactions, and, under certain soil and field crop conditions, our previous work has shown that this practice leads to accumulation of inorganic carbon (calcium carbonate). Mineral carbonation is the carbon sequestration approach with the greatest potential for sequestration capacity and permanency. Agricultural lands offer vast areas onto which such minerals can be applied, while benefiting crops. This work illustrates a technique to separate wollastonite-containing soils into different fractions. These fractions are characterized separately to determine organic and inorganic content, as well as to determine the chemical and mineral composition. The aim is to detect the fate of wollastonite in agricultural soils, and the fate of weathering/carbonation products in the soil. The soils used in the study were collected from soybean and potato farmlands in Southern Ontario, and from an experimental pilot plot. Soil fractionation was done using sieving, and soil fractions were analyzed by a calcimeter, X-ray diffraction, and loss-on-ignition. Acid digested samples were measured by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. Carbonates and wollastonite were enriched by fractionation.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were functionalized and were then used as supports of Fe1.5PMo12O40 (FePMo) Keggin heteropolyanions catalysts. The characterization of the resulting catalysts was investigated by inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) light spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). FTIR and XRD results confirmed that FePMo was bounded on CNTs successfully and the Keggin structure was preserved. Characterization by TEM showed that solids with high FePMo content exhibited aggregation of FePMo in large particles. The as-prepared catalysts were tested in the synthesis of propylene carbonate (PC) from CO2 and propylene oxide (PO) in a solvent-free reaction and under mild conditions. Effects of various parameters, such as reaction temperature, reaction time, FePMo content on the support, and catalyst loading on the reaction, were investigated. It has been found that CNTs supported FePMo achieved 57.7% PO conversion and 99.0% PC selectivity, whereas unsupported FePMo led only to 8.5% conversion and 48.6% selectivity. The remarkable enhancement of the catalytic activity over the supported catalyst can be attributed mainly to the better dispersion and reactivity of the FePMo catalyst in the supported material.

In order to minimize the incorrect disposal of dust generated in the basic oxygen furnace (BOF) converter and to generate a new application for this solid residue, a simple characterization route was proposed. The powder residue is used to produce self-reducing pellets and can be used in the blast furnace process. The chemical analysis of the dust was carried out using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), and some elements as Fe, Si, P, Al and Ca were detected in high amount, as the iron which achieved about 65% concentration. Moreover, the X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the iron was found in the phases, mainly, as magnetite (Fe3O4) and hematite (Fe2O3) while quartz (SiO2) and calcite (CaCO3) were the major impurities. The spectrometry dispersive energy (SDE) analysis confirmed the presence of such elements and the images obtained by SEM allowed visualizing the morphology of the particles. The average of particle size distribution of the dust was 0.053 mm which is suitable for self-agglomerates pellets.

The main objective of this study is to characterize the in vitro osteo inductive behavior of pearl nano crystallites. The results obtained from X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, and inductively coupled plasma mass (ICP-MS) analysis demonstrate that the pearls can induce the formation of a hydroxyl apatite (HA) layer on their surface in simulated body fluid (SBF), even after only short soaking periods. Further, MC3T3-E1 cells can easily attach and spread on the pearl powders after 1 h of cultivation.

<p>Emerald is a high-value gemstone and a variety of the Beryl group that contains traces of Chromium and Vanadium which give them their characteristic green color.  Colombian emerald deposits have been found within two main narrow belts both of them located in the Eastern Cordillera, one of the three main ranges that constitute the Colombian Andes along with the Central and Western Cordilleras.</p><p>Several authors (Kozlowski et al. 1998; Ottaway et al. 1994; Giuliani et al. 1993b) have established that the interaction between hydrothermal fluids and the emerald hosted black shales, leading into an intense albitization and carbonation of the host rocks with the depletion of many major and trace elements, resulting into the emerald mineralization along with the deposition of calcite, dolomite, pyrite, albite, quartz and rarely parasite (Giuliani et al.1995). However, the fluid-rock interaction has not been clearly explained and stablished for both productive and non-productive areas in order to provide a more useful guide for further emerald exploration.   </p><p>Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-AMS) along with X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) data were obtained from unaltered and altered host rocks including siliceous black shales, carbonated black shales, limestones, and dolomitic limestones. The results were analyzed to establish the geochemical relationships between different lithologies and the occurrence or absence of emerald mineralization for the different emerald belts.</p><p>The concentration of major, trace and REE elements and particularly the of  Cr, V and Be in the host rocks and the distribution over the studied areas will provide a better understanding of whether those contents are sufficient not only for the formation of emeralds besides of the different minerals in paragenesis. The results of the ongoing results are expected to be used as a possible exploration tool in favor to identify the areas with low potential for emerald mineralization.</p>

Barium–lanthanum britholite solid solutions, Ba10-xLax(PO4)6-x(SiO4)xF2, with 0 ≤ x ≤ 6 were prepared by solid state reaction in the temperature range of 1200–1400 °C. The powders were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), F-selective electrode, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). In addition, the present study used thermal analysis to follow the apatite formation reaction during the heat treatment. For x ≤ 3, there is formation of a single apatite phase, whereas above this value, the La2SiO5, La2Si2O7, BaSi2O5, and Ba2La2O5 secondary phases were observed. The variation of the lattice parameters of the apatite phase as a function of x confirmed that the solid solution is discontinuous to either side of x = 3.

The europium(III)-benzoic acid(HL)-1,10-phenanthroline(phen) complex was synthesized in the ethanol-H2O system by a precipitation method. The morphology of the minicrystal complex with diameters of ca. 1.0 µm is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Elemental analysis and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) are used to determine the chemical composition of the complex. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) are used to examine the structure of the complex. The results show that the complex is a new kind of crystalline complex and the composition of the complex is speculated to be EuL3(phen). The thermogravimetric curve (TGA) analysis indicates that the complex is stable below 232 °C in air. The photoluminescence analyses (PLA) exhibit that the complex emits the characteristic red fluorescence of Eu (III) ions at 613nm under ultraviolet light excitation.
