In this study the structural and chemical properties of barnacle shell based bioceramic materials (i.e. hydroxyapatite, whitlockite, monetite and other phases) were produced by using mechano-chemical (hot-plate) conversion method. Cleaned barnacle shells were ball milled down to <75µm in diameter. Differential thermal and gravimetric analyses (DTA/TGA) were performed to determine the exact CaCO3 content. Sample batches of 2g were prepared from the fine powders produced. For each batch, the required volume of an aqueous H3PO4 solution was calculated in order to set the stoichiometric molar ratio of Ca/P equal to 1.5 for ß-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP) or to 1.667 for hydroxyapatite (HA). The temperature was set to 80°C for 15 minutes to complete the process. After the titration of the equivalent amount of H3PO4 into the prepared solution, agitation was carried out on a hot-plate (i.e. mechano-chemical processing) for 8 hours. The sediments formed were dried and the resulting TCP and HA powders were calcined at 400°C and 800°C respectively. For complete characterization of the bioceramics produced, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were carried out. The current study proposes a simple, economic and time efficient method for nano-bioceramic production.

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.

The aim of this work is to study some physical and chemical properties of an organic semiconductor (OSc)/ x%titanium dioxide (TiO2) heterosystem (with 0 ≤ x ≤ 20%) (OScs/ x%TiO2). The OSc is obtained from pure curcumin and paracetamol as starting molecules. The synthesis methodology of the mixtures of OScs/ x%TiO2 heterosystem involves a microwave-assisted multicomponent reaction using curcumin, paracetamol, and TiO2 as a heterogeneous solution. All mixtures were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The results obtained show a new nanocomposite with interesting pharmaceutical, optical, electronic, and structural properties, which can be used in the fields of energy production, water purification, and air purification, as a biomaterial and for electronic applications.

Fe3O4/Mg-Al-NO3-hydrotalcite composite compounds have been synthesized by hydrothermal process followed by calcination to learn the differences in physical and chemical properties of each compound. Hydrothermal was performed at a temperature of 120 °C for 5 h and calcinations was at 450 °C for 3 hours. Characterization of the composite compounds was conducted using the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), the X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The characterization results showed that crystallinity, surface area and magnetic properties of hydrothermally treated Mg/Al hydrotalcite-magnetite were higher than those unhydrothermal and calcination products.

In this paper, pure and impure nanopowders of Li(Li0.021Mn0.54Ni0.125Co0.125)O2 were prepared with different percentages (x=0.02%, 0.05%, 0.075%, 0.10%) of Zn impurity by sol-gel method, and the effect of different percentages were investigated on the structural, physical and chemical properties of the samples. These properties of samples characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-scattering microscopy (FESEM), X-ray energy spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the results of characterization were investigation. All the reflection peaks indicate that the samples have standard α-NaFeO2 layered structure with the space group R3m, except for the super lattice ordering between 22°-25°.The FESEM images have shown that these nanoparticles have Hexagonal structures for doped and undoped nanopowders. The particle size of nanopowders in the range of 30-80 nm the chemical analysis of EDS has proven the presence of Zn in the samples. TG /DTA measurements showed weight loss in pure and impure of nanopowders. In infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), the connection bonds and chemical elements used in these nanopowders have been investigated.

Bone tissue engineering has emerged as a multidisciplinary field in recent times with an aim to expedite the process of regeneration of damaged or diseased tissues. This study is an attempt to fabricate and characterize Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) and Chitosan incorporated Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) based bone cement. In total two experimental PMMA based bone cements were fabricated that were differentiated by presence and absence of Chitosan. In both groups (10 and 30 wt.%) TCP were incorporated into Methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer. PMMA was used as a control. The physical, mechanical and thermal properties of the composites were assessed. Morphological changes of PMMA after the introduction of TCP and Chitosan were observed by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD). Major peak shifts in Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra demonstrated the strong bonding of PMMA with incorporated materials. PMMA incorporated with 10% TCP showed the maximum wettability in absence of Chitosan. Hardness of the tested specimens decreased with increasing content of TCP which in turns enhanced ductility. It was also observed that neither of the samples showed significant degradation. The incorporation of additives enhance the physical and chemical properties of PMMA as bone cement.

ABSTRACTThe physical and chemical properties of fly ash produced at Ottumwa Generating Station have been monitored since April, 1985. The fly ash is produced from burning a low sulfur, sub-bituminous coal obtained from the Powder River Basin near Gillette, Wyoming. One-hundred and sixty samples of fly ash were obtained during the two year period. All of the samples were subjected to physical testing as specified by ASTM C 311. About one-hundred of the samples were also subjected to a series of tests designed to monitor the self-cementing properties of the fly ash. Many of the fly ash samples were subjected to x-ray diffraction and fluorescence analysis to define the mineralogical and chemical composition of the bulk fly ash as a function of sampling date. Hydration products in selected hardened fly ash pastes, were studied by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The studies indicated that power plant operating conditions influenced the compressive strength of the fly ash paste specimens. Mineralogical and morphological studies of the fly ash pastes indicated that stratlingite formation occurred in the highstrength specimens, while ettringite was the major hydration product evident in the low-strength specimens.

ABSTRACT Formation of the feldspathoid sodalite (Na6Al6Si6O24·2NaCl) by reaction of nepheline (NaAlSiO4) with NaCl-bearing brines was investigated at 3 and 6 kbar and at a constant temperature of 750 °C to determine the brine concentration at which sodalite forms with variation in pressure. The reaction boundary was located by reaction-reversal experiments in the system NaAlSiO4–NaCl–H2O at a brine concentration of 0.16 ± 0.08 XNaCl [= molar ratio NaCl/(NaCl + H2O)] at 3 kbar and at a brine concentration of 0.35 ± 0.03 XNaCl at 6 kbar. Characterization of the sodalite using both X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy after treatment in these brines indicated no obvious evidence of water or hydroxyl incorporation into the cage structure of sodalite. The data from this study were combined with earlier results by Wellman (1970) and Sharp et al. (1989) at lower (1–1.5 kbar) and higher (7–8 kbar) pressures, respectively, on sodalite formation from nepheline and NaCl which models as a concave-down curve in XNaCl – P space. In general, sodalite buffers the concentration of neutral aqueous NaCl° in the brine to relatively low values at P &lt; 4 kbar, but NaCl° increases rapidly at higher pressures. Thermochemical modeling of these data was done to determine the activity of the aqueous NaCl° relative to a 1 molal (m) standard state, demonstrating very low activities (&lt;0.2 m, or 1.2 wt.%) of NaCl° at 3 kbar and lower, but rising to relatively high activities (&gt;20 m, or 54 wt.%) of NaCl° at 6 kbar or higher. The results from this study place constraints on the concentration of NaCl° in brines coexisting with nepheline and sodalite and, because of the relative insensitivity of this reaction to temperature, can provide a convenient geobarometer for those localities where the fluid compositions that formed nepheline and sodalite can be determined independently.

AbstractZirconium compounds has been widely attention over the last decades due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. Zirconium nitride nanopowders were synthesized via a simple direct carbothermic nitridation process of internal gel derived zirconia in the presence of nano-sized carbon black. The effects of reaction temperature, dwell time and molar ratio of carbon black to Zr (C/Zr) on the phase composition, grain size and crystal parameters of products were studied. Based upon the analysis of crystallite phase evolution and microstructure characterization, it was found that zirconium oxynitride is intermediate product and then O atoms in oxynitride were extracted by oxygen getter, carbon black. Anion sites were directly replaced by N atoms to form rock-salt type nitride in carbothermic nitridation process.
