Fly ash, bottom and bentonite have potential to be used as geopolymer precursors, because they contain high silica alumina. Until now there has been no research that combines these three materials materials. This aims incorporate an aluminosilicate source in the fly ash based geopolymer. Geopolymer concrete was made by mixing alkaline activator, aggregate (gravel), superplasticizer, water. The ...

Mesoporous silica pillared clay (SPC) incorporated with tungstophosphoric acid (HPW) has been synthesized via in situ introducing P and W source in the acidic suspension of the clay interlayer template during the formation of the silica pillared clay. The samples were characterized by XRD, XRF, FT-IR, TG-DTA, N(2) adsorption-desorption, and SEM techniques. The results showed that the HPW formed...

Calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate (CHPD, CaHPO4· 2H2O) or brushite is found quite frequently in urinary calculi (stones). Crystallization of brushite has been carried out in sodium metasilicate (SMS) gel with and without adding ‘Sr’ as additive. In pure system, dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA, CaHPO4) or monetite and hydroxyapatite (HA, Ca5(PO4)3(OH)) grew along with brushite. The presen...

In the present investigation, the oxidizing roasting process of chromite with sodium carbonate to prepare potassium dichromate crystals was studied in the microwave field with air, by heating the chromite and sodium carbonate. The chromite and sodium carbonate heated separately at 1000 ◦C in the microwave oven (frequency: 2.45 GHz; power 1.5 kW) in order to study the microwave absorption proper...

A poorly understood aspect of bone biomineralization concerns the mechanisms whereby ions are sequestered from the environment, concentrated, and deposited in the extracellular matrix. In this study, we follow mineral deposition in the caudal fin of the zebrafish larva in vivo. Using fluorescence and cryo-SEM-microscopy, in combination with Raman and XRF spectroscopy, we detect the presence of ...

The aim of this study was to obtain nanocrystalline mixed metal-oxide-ZrO₂ catalysts via a sonochemically-induced preparation method. The effect of a stabiliser's addition on the catalyst parameters was investigated by several characterisation methods including X-ray Diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispers...

Am-Fe-N films have been made by dc magnetron sputtering and heating in-situ in nitrogen atmosphere. It is observed that the anisotropy changes from perpendicular to in-plane by nitrogenation. The Curie temperature is about 380 K. Aspects of structure, hysterisis loops, initial magnetization curves and temperature dependence of coercivity are discussed. SQUID magnetometer was used to measure the...

The waste shell was utilized as a bioresource of calcium oxide (CaO) in catalyzing a transesterification to produce biodiesel (methyl ester). The economic and environmen-friendly catalysts were prepared by a calcination method at 700-1,000°C for 4 h. The heterogeneous catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the B...

The influence of silicon doping on calcium phosphate cement were explored in this work. α-TCP and Si-α-TCP were prepared by solid state reaction employing “Mg-free” CaHPO 4 , CaCO 3 and CaSiO 3 as precursors. It was possible to obtain TCP powders with low contents of β phase as contaminant. Cement liquid phase was an aqueous solution containing 2.5 wt. (%) of Na 2 HPO 4 and 1.5 wt. (%) of citri...

The qualitative and quantitative analysis of coal generated fly ash had been done by using various characterization techniques viz. XRD, SEM, XRF, TEM, XPS. composition gets changed time to as the type parent changes. In this paper SEM XRD have reviewed it demonstrates that there are many factors like temperature during combustion, being used, solidifying processes etc. on which different phase...
