Nickel powder was dry-milled using a high-energy disc-oscillating mill. The average particle size increases and the specific surface area diminishes with milling time. Crystallite size decreases and microstrains increase, under the same conditions, as shown by X-ray analysis. At 120 min milling time, the crystallite size has a value of 17 nm, i.e., a nanostructured powder, with a perturbed lattice, is obtained. The above results have been compared with published data about the effects of milling on a ceramic powder. There is, in both cases, a general agreement concerning the changes produced in crystallite size. Nevertheless, opposite results are reached regarding particle size and specific surface area.

Compacting after pressing and sintering of briquettes made from an aluminum powder with an average particle size from 50 to 150 microns, the specific surface area Ssp=0.26 m2/g and a nickel powder with an average particle size from 25 to 100 microns, the specific surface area Ssp= 0.03 m2/g has been investigated. Pressing load varied from 15 to 25 MPa for the aluminum powder and from 20 to 45 MPa for the nickel powder. Sintering of aluminum powder briquettes was carried out at temperatures (0.5-0.83) of melting temperature, (0.3-0.46) of melting temperature from the nickel powder. It is shown that the application of high pressure, low temperatures and short time makes it possible to receive pseudo-ligatures from an aluminum powder with porosity about 32% and a nickel powder with porosity about 30%.

The aim of this paper is to establish a regulatory change of zinc powders key physicochemical properties with varying electroextraction conditions. It was studied influence zinc concentration, alkali concentration and current density. Quantitative dependencies of zinc powders particle size and specific surface area from mentioned electroextraction parameters are shown. At increasing of zinc concentration, decreasing of NaOH concentration and decreasing of current density of powders particle size growth, correspondingly specific surface area is declined. It is indicated, that electrolytic zinc powders bulk density varies from 0.61 g/cm3 to 0.75 g/cm3 with a decrease of average particle size from 121 μm to 68 μm. In comparison, spherical powders bulk density used in various industries is currently 2.45-2.6 g/cm3. In all experiments, metal zinc content varied in the range of 91.1-92.5%, the rest - ZnO. To a greater extent, this indicator depends on powder washing quality from alkali and storage conditions.

Mn-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles were prepared by using the microwave solvothermal synthesis (MSS) technique. The nanoparticles were produced from a solution of zinc acetate dihydrate and manganese(II) acetate tetrahydrate using ethylene glycol as solvent. The content of Mn2+ in Zn1− x Mn x O ranged from 1 to 25 mol %. The following properties of the nanostructures were investigated: skeleton density, specific surface area (SSA), phase purity (XRD), lattice parameters, dopant content, average particle size, crystallite size distribution, morphology. The average particle size of Zn1− x Mn x O was determined using Scherrer’s formula, the Nanopowder XRD Processor Demo web application and by converting the specific surface area results. X-ray diffraction of synthesized samples shows a single-phase wurtzite crystal structure of ZnO without any indication of additional phases. Spherical Zn1− x Mn x O particles were obtained with monocrystalline structure and average particle sizes from 17 to 30 nm depending on the content of dopant. SEM images showed an impact of the dopant concentration on the morphology of the nanoparticles.

Rice husk ash (RHA) contains high amount of amorphous silica that is ubiquitous in the pozzolanic reaction of SCM in concrete. However, usage of conventional RHA is currently unfavourable in concrete industry due to its properties inconsistency. In this regard, improvement on the RHA properties by introduction of thermochemical pre-treatment prior to burning procedure is seen as an excellent way to reach the goal. In this paper, raw rice husk was pre-treated using 0.1N hydrochloric acid (HCl) and heated at 80oC. It was then mechanically activated by high energy planetary ball mill for 15 minutes at speed of 300rpmand ball-to-powder ratio (BPR) of 15:1. The chemical composition, mineralogical properties, particle size analysis, specific surface area as well as microstructure properties of ultrafine treated rice husk ash (UFTRHA) were determined accordingly. As for amorphous silica content of the optimum sample was recorded as 98.60% incinerated at 600oC with four hours of pre-treatment soaking duration. In terms of particle size and specific surface, it was also observed that, burning temperature of 600oC, pre-treated at four hours were recorded to produce finest size of UFTRHA where d(0.1), d(0.5) and d(0.9) were obtained as 1.416?m, 4.364 ?m and 14.043 ?m respectively. Largest specific surface area value was obtained at 219.58 m2/g with the similar pre-treatment conditions. Meanwhile, the strength activity of UFTRHA from the optimum pre-treatment process was measured by testing the compressive strength of mortars. The highest compression value obtained was 50.17MPa with 3% UFTRHA replacement at 28 days.

Nano scaled mullite (3Al2O3·2SiO2) powders had been fabricated by an organic-inorganic solution technique using a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as an organic carrier. PVA polymer contributed to a soft and porous powder microstructure, and ball milling with the porous powder was effective in making nano-sized mullite powders. In addition, the degree of polymerization of PVA affected the crystallization behavior. The fully crystallized and ball-milled mullite powders had an average particle size of 120 nm with a specific surface area of 67.0 m2/g. In this paper, the simple solution technique and milling process for the fabrication of nano scaled mullite powders are introduced. And the effects of PVA on the crystallization behavior and powder specific surface area are also studied. The characteristics of the synthesized powders are examined by using XRD, TEM, particle size analyzer and nitrogen gas adsorption.

The effect of microwave activation on the properties of oxidation roasting for molybdenite was investigated under the protection of inert gas, and the specific surface area, the oxidation properties, lattice constant, microstructure, and shape of molybdenite were analyzed and characterized by a laser particle size analyzer, thermogravimetry (TG), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that microwave activation could effectively reduce the residual amount of sulfur in the molybdenum calcine and decrease the average particle size of molybdenite while increasing the specific surface area of molybdenite. On increasing the microwave activation power, the crystal cell volume and grain size of MoS2 reduced, and the microstrain increased slightly. At the same time, the surface shape of molybdenite became looser, but the layered structure is not changed. In addition, the oxidation property changed significantly; microwave activation promoted the oxidation reaction of molybdenite above 538 °C, and the rate of weight loss increased from 6.177% to 7.718% at 620 °C.
