The goal of our studies is to find alloy compositions capable of high H capacity and reversible low temperature hydrogenation. In the present research work, specimens with nominal compositions Zr0.9Ti0.1Cr1.2V0.8 and Zr0.9Ti0.1Cr0.8V0.8Ni0.4 have been prepared by arc–melting under argon atmosphere. The microstructural properties of the samples were analyzed by XRD and SEM, while the corresponding microchemistry was determined by EDAX measurements. A two phase system was regularly obtained, with the main component being the hexagonal (C14) Laves phase. The presence of small amounts of Ni has been found to increase the alloy activity on hydrogen. Hydrogen activation was performed for both samples and charging-discharging properties were investigated in the temperature range between 20 oC and 100 oC by using a Sievert-type apparatus.

The article deals with the investigation results of nitrogen-containing compounds solubility in non-polar and polar solvents, as well as low-temperature properties of formed solutions and their anticorrosive properties as corrosion inhibitors in the hydrocarbon-water two-phase system.

This paper analysis one of the basic properties of liquid slag which is viscosity. The slag in the mold fills there is between the wall and the ingot mold, where it occurs in the form of a thin layer of solidified and molten slag. The main function is to lubricate the walls of the crystallizer and control of the heat transport from the solidifying steel. The research work carried out by concentric cylinder viscosity for five samples of slag for use in industrial environments. The study was conducted for the temperature range 1200-1550°C. Then the experimental results were compared with model calculations. The differences between the experimental results and the model calculations are related to the construction of the slag and the assumptions. Measurements under laboratory conditions on the two-phase system: a liquid solution of the dispersed phase ion steel - carbon, whereas the calculation model are the liquid-phase, and therefore the viscosity calculated values are lower than the values measured.

Analysis of the tails of the small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) intensities relevant to samples formed by porous silica and carbon dioxide at pressures ranging from 0 to 20 MPa and at temperatures of 308 and 353 K confirms that the CO2fluid must be treated as a two-phase system. The first of these phases is formed by the fluid closer to the silica wall than a suitable distance δ and the second by the fluid external to this shell. The sample scattering-length densities and shell thicknesses are determined by the Porod invariants and the oscillations observed in the Porod plots of the SANS intensities. The resulting matter densities of the shell regions (thickness 15–35 Å) are approximately equal, while those of the outer regions increase with pressure and become equal to the bulk CO2at the higher pressures only in the low-temperature case.

Hydrogen storage in reversible metal hydrides is attractive because it can be stored at relatively low pressures with a high volumetric density. In the present research work have been investigated compounds with nominal compositions Zr0.8Ti0.2Cr1.2V0.4Ni0.4 and Zr0.8Ti0.2Cr0.8V0.8Ni0.4 that have been prepared by arc-melting under argon atmosphere. Structural characteristics have been studied by using X-ray powder diffraction while the patterns have been analyzed by using the Rietveld analysis. A main hexagonal Laves phase MgZn2 (C14) and a secondary MgCu2 (C15)-type of, have been found in the powdered compounds. The bulk samples have composite microstructures but the V-rich is characterized by a dendritic microstructure. The high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) have been used for the morphology and quantitative analysis, respectively. Hydrogenations and dehydrogenations have been obtained after crucial activation procedure. The alloys were found to be more active under hydrogen after activation while the desorbed amount of hydrogen has been measured by using a Sievert-type apparatus.

Grains of pigeonite, a calcium-poor silicate mineral of the pyroxene group, from the Whin Sill dolerite have been ion-thinned and examined by TEM. The pigeonite is strongly zoned chemically from the composition Wo8En64FS28 in the core to Wo13En34FS53 at the rim. Two phase transformations have occurred during the cooling of this pigeonite:- exsolution of augite, a more calcic pyroxene, and inversion of the pigeonite from the high- temperature C face-centred form to the low-temperature primitive form, with the formation of antiphase boundaries (APB's). Different sequences of these exsolution and inversion reactions, together with different nucleation mechanisms of the augite, have created three distinct microstructures depending on the position in the grain.In the core of the grains small platelets of augite about 0.02μm thick have farmed parallel to the (001) plane (Fig. 1). These are thought to have exsolved by homogeneous nucleation. Subsequently the inversion of the pigeonite has led to the creation of APB's.

Interpretation of fine-scale microstructures containing high volume fractions of second phase is complex. In particular, microstructures developed through decomposition within low temperature miscibility gaps may be extremely fine. This paper compares the morphological interpretations of such complex microstructures by the high-resolution techniques of TEM and atom probe field-ion microscopy (APFIM).The Fe-25 at% Be alloy selected for this study was aged within the low temperature miscibility gap to form a <100> aligned two-phase microstructure. This triaxially modulated microstructure is composed of an Fe-rich ferrite phase and a B2-ordered Be-enriched phase. The microstructural characterization through conventional bright-field TEM is inadequate because of the many contributions to image contrast. The ordering reaction which accompanies spinodal decomposition in this alloy permits simplification of the image by the use of the centered dark field technique to image just one phase. A CDF image formed with a B2 superlattice reflection is shown in fig. 1. In this CDF micrograph, the the B2-ordered Be-enriched phase appears as bright regions in the darkly-imaging ferrite. By examining the specimen in a [001] orientation, the <100> nature of the modulations is evident.

Steady-state models are presented to describe the wastewater treatment process in two activated sludge systems. One of these makes use of a single complete-mix reactor; the other one involves two complete-mix reactors arranged in series. The in-series system is equivalent to what is known as the “two-phase” activated sludge, a concept which is now being launched throughout Poland in conjunction with the PROMLECZ technology under implementation. Analysis of the mathematical models has revealed the following: (1) treatment efficiency, excess sludge production, energy consumption, and the degree of sludge stabilization are identical in the two systems; (2) there exists a technological equivalence of “two-phase” sludge with “single-phase” sludge; (3) the “two-phase” system has no technological advantage over the “single-phase” system.
