Sericite has the intermediate nature of the muscovite and illite, which has been used as the additive of the cosmetics, the ceramic industry, welding rods, and other various pigments and the paint. In this study, the characteristics of sericite were examined using XRD(X-ray diffractometer), XRF(X-ray fluorescence spectrometer), TG-DTA(Thermal Analyzer), SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and PSA(Particle Size Analyzer). The raw ore is composed of 60.90wt% SiO2, 7.88wt% K2O, 0.36wt% TiO2, 24.80wt% Al2O3, 1.64wt% Fe2O3, 2.39wt% CaO, and 0.83wt% MgO. After sericite was purified, the content of SiO2 decreased from 60.9wt% to 51.4wt%, and in the crystal phase the intensity of quartz decreased significantly. For the high grade purification of sericite, the removal of iron and separation of quartz for the raw ore (sericite), the hydrocyclone were used with the magnetic separator. The content of iron was reduced from 1.64wt% to 0.91wt%.

In present work, ceria microspheres were synthesized by template hydrothermal method. Crystalline form of the as-synthesized ceria microspheres was defined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Dispersibility of ceria microspheres was comprehensively characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and laser particle size analyzer. Furthermore, the ultraviolet light absorption performances of ceria microspheres with several different sizes were compared by ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that ceria microspheres presented excellent UV absorbent property and the size influence was remarkable.

In this paper, a series of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) experiments for magnesia alumina (Mg-Al) spinel were carried out with different abrasives, and the materials removal rate (MRR) and surface quality was evaluated to explore their different effects. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) and laser particle size analyzer were also employed to test the micro-shape and size distribution of abrasives. Then, the mechanism of different effects with different abrasives was analyzed in CMP for Mg-Al spinel. Those experimental results suggest that different subjecting pressure ratios of abrasives to polishing pad with different abrasive are the key factors leading to difference polishing performances in CMP.

The amorphous silica was prepared from the alkali wastewater rich in Na2O•nSiO2 produced in manufacturing process of zirconium oxychloride (ZrOCl2). The composition and microstructure of amorphous silica were studied by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and scanning electron microscope, respectively. The results showed that the amorphous silica was mainly composed of uncrystallized substance, and the silica content was 96.4%. Its whiteness was 97.5% and the particle size was between 100nm and 200nm without agglomeration. The specific surface area of the amorphous silica was 531.9 m2/g, and its pore volume and diameter were 0.945 cm3/g and 4.94 nm, respectively.

Generally white carbon black in a form of silica is used instead of carbon black as reinforcing filler for rubber compounding. In the present research white carbon black was prepared from rice husks in cost effective method with direct incineration of acid leaching rice husk. The physico-chemical properties of rice husk and the product of white carbon black obtained from rice husk were investigated by Thermogravimetry, Particle size analyzer, Scanning electron microscope; Fourier transformed infrared radiation (FTIR), X-ray fluorescence and X-ray difractometry analyses. It was found that the decomposition of organic constituents of rice husk was revealed by Thermo gravimetric and carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulpher (CHNS) analyses. The FTIR spectrum showed presence of Si-O-Si band with a strong peak at 1085 cm-1. The analysis of particle size and scanning electron microscope demonstrated that the produced white carbon black represent different size of 112 ?m to 0.01 ?m with very small nano-particle and amorphous structure. The amorphous structure of product was also confirmed by XRD pattern. The high pure product as 99.9% was confirmed by XRF analysis. These types of product have potential application as filler in rubber compounding.J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 9(2): 1-7 2016

The Thai amulets that created in an image of Lord Buddha meditation were made to explain the Dharma of Buddha and believed to bless every life in this world for good karma. Phra Somdej Wat Rakhang amulet is the top of the five most famous Thai amulets. There are many molds with various compositions. In this work, it was the first time that X-ray fluorescence spectrometry methods; scanning electron microscope cooperated with energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (SEM/EDS) and particle induced X-ray emission spectroscopy (PIXE) were carried out to analyze their compositions. Two samples were collected from different molds. Results revealed C, Ca and Si were main composition. The differences in their compositions have been used to identify and characterize for each molds.
