Quick lime or calcium oxide has attracted significant attention as a sustainable material to be used as fillers and catalysts in a broad range of industries. The quick lime derived from calcination of eggshell waste in a laboratory-scale rotary furnace is reported in this study. The eggshell waste was prepared by washing several times, drying in the sun, grinding and sieving through a 250 micrometers sieve size. Calcination of the sieved eggshells waste was conducted in a single zone rotary tube furnace at 800 °C with 5 degree slope and at 1 rpm. Both physical and chemical properties of the calcium oxide derived from the calcination of eggshell waste were systematically investigated by various scientific instruments. The results from powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD) and X-Ray Fluorescence: (XRF) showed that most of the calcium carbonate in the eggshell waste was thermally transformed to nano-calcium oxide with mean crystallite size of 47.5 nm and with a purity of 97.8%. The results from this study indicated the optimum conditions and the possibility for mass production of nano-calcium oxide via rotary furnace and have shown that the obtained nano-calcium oxide is comparable to the commercial chemical.

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.

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.

ResumoNeste estudo foram avaliadas as interações entre três representantes minerais constituintes das rochas ornamentais graníticas (quartzo, microclina e muscovita) e três protetivos comerciais com propriedades hidrorrepelentes. Os minerais foram caracterizados química e mineralogicamente por análises de fluorescência e difração de Raios-X (FRX e DRX, respectivamente), enquanto os protetivos foram caracterizados por meio de espectroscopia de infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FTIR). Para avaliação da eficácia dos protetivos, foram realizados estudos de mobilidade eletroforética a partir da avaliação do potencial zeta dos minerais em função do pH, antes e após tratamento com cada produto. Os resultados indicaram melhor desempenho do protetivo a base de siloxano, reduzindo a eletronegatividade da superfície de todos os minerais, principalmente na faixa levemente ácida de pH entre 3 e 6, onde ocorrem os principais intemperismos capazes de alterar as propriedades físico-químicas de rochas expostas em centros urbanos. Foram visualizadas reduções médias de até 15mV para quartzo, 5 mV para muscovita e 20 mV para microclina. Análises prévias das rochas de um monumento e dos protetivos inicialmente elegidos para proteção são importantes para a correta conservação e restauro dos bens pétreos que resguardam seus valores artísticos e culturais.

Interactions between the main minerals that compose the granitic dimension stones (quartz, microcline and muscovite) and three commercial hydrophobic protective coatings were investigated in this study. The minerals were characterized chemically and mineralogically through fluorescence X-ray analysis (XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) respectively, while the protective coatings were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The interactions between minerals and protective coatings were evaluated by zeta potential measurements of the minerals as a function of pH before and after surface treatment with each product. The results showed that only one protective coating was able to reduce the electronegativity in all mineral samples, especially in mildly acidic pH range, where several outdoor weathering effects occur, modifying the physical and chemical properties of stone-built monuments in urban environment. Previous analysis of the stones that constitute the monument as well as preselected products for its treatment are considered important to guide the proper conservation and restoration of stone-built cultural heritages that enshrine their artistic and historical values. Keywords: conservation & restoration, zeta potential, mineral

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.

Abstract To study the affinity of 3A aluminosilicate adsorbents to prevent oligomerization of olefin molecules and forming green oil, physical and chemical properties of 3A molecular sieves are measured by using characterization techniques such as temperature-programmed desorption (TPD), nitrogen (N2) and water adsorptions, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), crushing strength, and carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption. Moreover, coke formation affinities of the understudy adsorbents are evaluated in a bench-scale system using 1-butene and 1,3-butadiene at temperatures of 220 and 260 °C, and outcomes are validated against the actual data gathered from an industrial scale olefin dehydration plant. Results confirm that the type of binder and the amount of ion exchange affect the performance of a 3A molecular sieve nominated for dehydrating olefinic streams. The binder with the least amount of acidity is preferred, and at least 35% of Na ions of the 4A zeolite should be exchanged with K ions to make it applicable for synthesizing an appropriate 3A molecular sieve. Furthermore, to control the oligomerization and inhibit green oil formation, the CO2 adsorption and acidity of Trisiv shape molecular sieves with the sizes of 1/4 inch should be less than 0.5 wt % and 1.7 mmol NH3/g, respectively. For extrudate shape with the sizes of 1/16 inch CO2 adsorption and acidity should be less than 0.2 wt % and 2.2 mmol NH3/g, respectively.

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.
