Phase Behaviors

Phase behaviors of zircon at different temperatures via carbothermal reduction-nitridation were investigated in this study. By using zircon as raw material, with carbon coke as reducing agent, the influence of reaction temperatures (1450, 1500, 1550 and 1600 °C, respectively) on phase behaviors and microstructure of the products was characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results shows that by carbothermal reduction-nitridation, the main phases in the final products of zircon are m-ZrO2, c-ZrO2, β-SiC, ZrN and β-Si3N4at different temperatures for 4 hours.

Furnace Slag

Blast furnace slag, an industrial by-product, is emerging as a potential raw material to synthesize hydroxyapatite and zeolite. In this study, the effects of temperature on the hydrothermal synthesis of hydroxyapatite-zeolite from blast furnace slag were investigated. Specimens were synthesized at different temperatures (room temperature, 50, 90, 120, or 150 °C). The synthesized specimens were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively via X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), BET/BJH, and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive using X-ray analysis (SEM/EDX). It was found that the hydroxyapatite phase was synthesized at all the reaction temperatures, while faujasite type zeolite appeared in the specimens synthesized at 90 and 120 °C. Moreover, faujasite was replaced by hydroxysodalite in the specimens synthesized at 150 °C. Additionally, the crystals of the hydroxyapatite tended to become larger and total crystallinity increased as the reaction temperature increased.

Aluminum Oxyhydroxide

Natural zeolite of Shivirtui deposit (Russia) was modified with nanofibers of aluminum oxyhydroxide AlOOH. Aluminum oxyhydroxide nanofibers were produced at the heating and oxidation of aluminum powder with water. The properties of modified zeolite were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electronic microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, thermal analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It was found that water content in the modified sample of zeolite was about 15 %. Based on the study of the physical and chemical properties, shivirtui zeolite modified with nanofibers of aluminum oxyhydroxide can be proposed for use as a flame-retardant additive to polymers.

ABSTRACTCompositional and microstructural analysis of mullites in porcelain whitewares obtained by the firing of two blends of identical triaxial composition using a kaolin B consisting of ‘higher-crystallinity’ kaolinite or a finer halloysitic kaolin M of lower crystal order was performed. No significant changes in the average Al2O3 contents (near the stoichiometric composition 3:2) of the mullites were observed. Fast and slow firing at the same temperature using B or M kaolin yielded different mullite contents. The Warren–Averbach method showed increase of the D110 mullite crystallite size and crystallite size distributions with small shifts to greater values with increasing firing temperature for the same type of firing (slow or fast) using the same kaolin, as well as significant differences between fast and slow firing of the same blend at different temperatures for each kaolin. The higher maximum frequency distribution of crystallite size observed at the same firing temperature using blends with M kaolin suggests a clearer crystallite growth of mullite in this blend. The agreement between thickening perpendicular to prism faces and mean crystallite sizes <D110> of mullite were not always observed because the direction perpendicular to 110 planes is not preferred for growth.

Dehydrogenation Mechanism

A detailed analysis of the dehydrogenation mechanism and reversibility of LiBH4 doped by as-derived Al (denoted Al*) from AlH3 was performed by thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), mass spectral analysis (MS), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that the dehydrogenation of LiBH4/Al* is a five-step reaction: (1) LiBH4 + Al → LiH + AlB2 + “Li-Al-B-H” + B2H6 + H2; (2) the decomposition of “Li-Al-B-H” compounds liberating H2; (3) 2LiBH4 + Al → 2LiH + AlB2 + 3H2; (4) LiBH4 → LiH + B + 3/2H2; and (5) LiH + Al → LiAl + 1/2H2. Furthermore, the reversibility of the LiBH4/Al* composite is based on the following reaction: LiH + LiAl + AlB2 + 7/2H2 ↔ 2LiBH4 + 2Al. The extent of the dehydrogenation reaction between LiBH4 and Al* greatly depends on the precipitation and growth of reaction products (LiH, AlB2, and LiAl) on the surface of Al*. A passivation shell formed by these products on the Al* is the kinetic barrier to the dehydrogenation of the LiBH4/Al* composite.

ABSTRACTThe synthesis of mullite from kaolin clay and two precursors of aluminum: α-Al2O3 and Al(NO3)3 was investigated. In order to study the temperature effect, the system kaolin-α-Al2O3 was calcined in air in a range of 1200 to 1500°C, for 2 h. For the system kaolin-Al(NO3)3, the combustion method was employed, using urea as fuel, and calcined in air at 1500°C for 2 h. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy and particle size analysis in order to analyze and compare their morphology and structure. The crystallographic study revealed an incomplete reaction between the kaolin and the α-Al2O3. Nevertheless, in the system kaolin-Al(NO3)3, it was obtained mullite with high purity and trace amounts of cristobalite.

Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanobranches were synthesized using an improved solvothermal technique in mixed ethanol and water solvent. Structural and magnetic properties were systematically investigated. X-ray diffraction results showed that the sample was single-phase spinel structure. The results of scanning electronic microscopy exhibited that the grains were regular like-branch with sizes from 3 to 6 μm in length and in diameter between 50 and 200 nm. The composition determined by energy dispersive spectroscopy was very close to the stoichiometry of Fe3O4. The saturation magnetizations (Ms) at 10 and 300 K of the synthesized Fe3O4nanobranches were much lower than the theoretical values. On one hand, it could be explained by obstructive magnetizing along their non-easy magnetic axes by the shape anisotropy of Fe3O4nanobranches, on the other hand, lesserMscan also be understood by the existence of antisite defects.

Melamine formaldehyde composites have been synthesized with chlorides and micro- and nanoparticles of transition metals (Co, Ni, Cu) entered into polymer during the polycondensation of melamine with formaldehyde. The received composites were studied by the X-ray diffraction and scanning electronic microscopy and applied as catalysts to cathode activation in cyclohexanone electrohydrogenation. For composites of MF+MCl2 it was established higher catalytic activity than for МF+М0.

In order to investigate the ratio of Zn/Y on as-cast Mg-4Zn-xY (x=1, 2, 3 in wt. %), microstructure and mechanical properties are analyzed by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) and tensile testing. The results indicate that with the decrease of the ratio of Zn/Y, microstructures are refined more greatly and the spheroidization and uniformity coefficient are improved obviously, and the morphologies of second phases are changed from diversity to unity, resulting in an improvement of mechanical properties of alloys.
