This study aimed to synthesize geopolymer materials using the ash of burned rice husk. The material was prepared from bauxite slurry, rice hull ash was calcined at 600 °C, metakaolin and sodium hydroxide 12 M solution. The material was cured at 60 °C for 6 h and then at ambient temperature for up to 28 days. We used the same mixture of experimental design to synthesize geopolymer. Through techniques spectroscopy energy dispersive X rivers and X-ray diffraction, it appears that the silica and alumina contents of the identified raw material meets the conditions laid down as minimum for precursors with geopolymer activation potential, as evidenced by the molar ratio Si/Al sample. Geopolymer obtained from the XRD patterns showed characteristic peaks of hydrated calcium silicate. It was found that the particles had irregular shapes and sizes, and the presence of voids affecting the strength of the material. The geopolymeric material obtained showed improvements in the bending strength in a curing time of 28 days.

The development of energy storage devices encourages the sustainability of research on basic materials of supercapacitor technology. SrTiO3 is one of metal oxide called as titanate alkali metal ATiO3 (A = Ba, Sr, Ca). This material shows an excellent dielectric constant, thus expected to be potential as raw material of supercapacitor. In this work, boron was used as a dopant on the SrTiO3 system to modify its local structure and enhance the electrical properties. Synthesis SrTi1-xBxO3 was carried out using a solid-state reaction method followed by the sintering process in various molar ratio. The microstructure of SrTi1-xBxO3 compound was identified by X-ray Diffraction with Cu-Kα. XRD pattern identified the presence of SrTi1-xBxO3 phase with a slight change in the lattice parameters. I-V measurement confirmed that the electrical conductivity increased gradually up to 16.04 Ω-1cm-1. For investigating their application for electrode materials, CV was employed and it presents that the specific capacitance and energy density of x = 0.08 were 5.488 Fg-1 and 0.110 Jg-1.

Abstract The aim of this investigation was to characterize three samples of kaolin (DD1, DD2 and DD3) collected from Djebel Debbagh deposit (East of Algeria) to be used in electrical porcelain insulators. Grain-size analysis, X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and thermal analysis (TG-DTA) were performed. Each sample was mixed with feldspar and silica to obtain three porcelain formulations. The obtained results indicated that the three kaolins were composed by kaolinite and halloysite with variable contents of MnO and Fe2O3 as associated impurities. It was found that the DD1 was the appropriate kaolin as raw material for making the high-voltage electrical insulator which had the highest electrical and mechanical properties (dielectric strength, bending strength and bulk density), while DD2 and DD3 were less suitable due to their lower properties caused by the presence of impurities which must be removed.

This paper demonstrated a new approach to the utilization of steel slag and provided a pattern for steel slag ceramic synthesis. Based on previous research on steel slag (converter slag) applied as raw material of ceramic and directed at content of steel slag CaO-MgO-Al2O3(5wt%)-SiO2 system phase diagram was utilized in steel slag ceramic formula designing and augite region was selected. Bending strength of sample could reach 62.26MPa which was higher than national standard. When the content of steel slag was 40wt%, the steel slag ceramic would perform rather high bending strength. Through XRD patterns demonstrated the dominated crystal phases of all ceramic samples were pyroxene group crystals, akermanite existed in some samples also. But bending strengths of ceramics containing akermanite were lower than of samples containing pyroxene purely. Hence, diopside could be considered as the factor of improving ceramic bending strength.

Rosin, an abundant raw material from pine trees, was used as a starting material directly for the synthesis of rosin acid starch. The esterification reaction was catalyzed by lipase (Novozym 435) under mild conditions. Based on single factor experimentation, the optimal esterification conditions were obtained as follows: rosin acid/anhydrous glucose unit in the molar ratio 2 : 1, reaction time 4 h at 45°C, and 15% of lipase dosage. The degree of substitution (DS) reaches 0.098. Product from esterification of cassava starch with rosin acid was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy and iodine coloration analysis. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the morphology and crystallinity of the cassava starch were largely destroyed. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that thermal stability of rosin acid starch decreased compared with native starch.

The La2S3 microcrystalline were prepared by microwave hydrothermal method (M–H). The influences of different S⁄La molar ratio on the phase composition, and morphology of the La2S3 microcrystalline were particularly investigated. The obtained samples were characterized by X–ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet and visible–spectroscopy (UV–vis) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) at room temperature. XRD results show that the decrease of S⁄La molar ratio from 6⁄3 to 6⁄6, the improving in crystallization of the obtained microcrystalline is observed with the decrease in S⁄La molar ratio. The morphology of prepared La2S3 transforms from irregular shapes to quasi-sphere structure. The as-prepared microcrystalline show excellent absorbency of ultraviolet light and are almost transparent to visible light to exhibit stable violet-blue photoluminescence properties under the ultraviolet light excitation at room temperature.

Geopolymer is an emerging “green” cementitious material which has a potential to valorize waste such as rice hull ash (RHA). Geopolymer is a kind of alkali-activated material which forms from the reaction of alumino-silicates in an alkaline solution. This study uses RHA as the raw material for alkaline activator while metakaolin (MK) serves as a geopolymer precursor to synthesize the so-called geopolymer sphere. Then its capacity as a porous matrix was explored upon incorporation of TiO2 nanomaterial using horizontal vapor phase growth (HVPG) technique to enhance its photocatalytic property. Indication suggests that the synthesized MK-geopolymer spheres activated with RHA-based water glass solution (WGS) were comparable to that of commercial WGS. Furthermore, the geopolymer spheres were successfully coated with TiO2 in the form of nanocrystals. Its photocatalytic activity was evaluated in terms of methylene blue degradation. This material’s potential environmental application for water purification and wastewater treatment will be investigated for future works.

The microstructure and Vickers hardness of the AlxCrCuFeNi2(x=0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 in molar ratio) high-entropy alloys with as-cast and heat-treated states were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns suggested that for the Al0.5 alloy annealed at 900,an incomplete phase transformation from FCC to BCC occurred, while for the Al2.0 alloy as heated at 500 and 700, a converse phase transformation from BCC to FCC was obtained. Compared with the as-cast dendrites, after heat treatment, the microstructure of the alloys was obviously coarsened or spheroidized or homogenized, whereas the resultant hardness has almost not decreased even at high heating temperatures, which indicated the probability of ordering for this alloy system and thus effectively compensating the stress and structural relaxations. The Al2.0 alloy reached the maximum hardness value of 610 HV by annealing at 1100, which might be ascribed to the worm-like nanoprecipitations and the enhanced fraction of B2-ordered precipitations. By cold rolling, the Al0.5 alloy is able to reach the yield strength of 1055 MPa and the fracture strength of 1179 MPa, which was a significant improvement in comparison with the as-cast alloy.
