The kinetics of the reaction between α-Fe2O3 and K2CO3 have been investigated over the temperature range 600 to 800 °C, and the phase composition of the products has been determined. The reaction follows the rate law α = 1 - exp (-kτn). At molar ratios K : Fe 1, KFeO2 is the only product. At K : Fe 1, initially formed KFeO2 reacts with hematite to yield K2Fe4O7. The latter phase has been assigned a cubic structure with a = 1.681 ± 0.003 nm. based on X-ray powder diffraction patterns and Mossbauer spectra, the structure of K2Fe4O7 is proposed to be a cubic close-packed array of oxygen atoms, part of these being replaced by potassium atoms, with Fe atoms occupying the octahedral interstices.

ABSTRACTPhonons and crystalline structures of Hg1−xCdxSe alloys (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) were studied by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction patterns at 298K. The crystalline alloys were prepared by a special combination of synthesis and the Bridgman method. Experimental data showed a face-centered cubic structure, $F\overline 4 \,3\,m$ (No. 216), for all samples, exhibiting a linear dependence for Cd molar fraction, x, for cell parameters, a, and the mass densities, ρ. Phonon frequencies were analyzed using the Romevi-Romevi model for phonons in multicomponent alloys, obtaining a fair agreement with experimental data. Furthermore, an algorithm to implement the Romevi-Romevi model is proposed.

AbstractThis paper contains a review and explanation of the super conducting Ruddlesden-Popper phases in the systems Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O and Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O. Calculated powder X-ray patterns for the phases Bi-2201, 2212, 2223, and 2234 (where the numbers refer to the stoichiometric ratios of Bi:Sr:Ca:Cu) and Tl-1201, 1212, 1223, 1234, 2201, 2212, 2223, and 2234 (here the numbers refer to the molar ratios of Bi:Ba:Ca:Cu) generated from the reviewed crystal structures are presented. Observed powder patterns for Tl-2201, Tl-2212, Bi-2201 and Bi-2212 are included and compared to the calculated patterns of these phases.

The results of studying the phase composition of advanced calcium phosphates Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, β-Ca3(PO4)2, α-Ca3(PO4)2, CaHPO4 · 2H2O, Ca8(HPO4)2(PO4)4 · 5H2O using an x-ray diffractometer with a curved position-sensitive detector are presented. Optimal experimental conditions (angular positions of the x-ray tube and detector, size of the slits, exposure time) were determined with allowance for possible formation of the impurity phases during synthesis. The construction features of diffractometers with a position-sensitive detector affecting the profile characteristics of x-ray diffraction peaks are considered. The composition for calibration of the diffractometer (a mixture of sodium acetate and yttrium oxide) was determined. Theoretical x-ray diffraction patterns for corresponding calcium phosphates are constructed on the basis of the literature data. These x-ray diffraction patterns were used to determine the phase composition of the advanced calcium phosphates. The features of advanced calcium phosphates, which should be taken into account during the phase analysis, are indicated. The powder of high-temperature form of tricalcium phosphate strongly adsorbs water from the environment. A strong texture is observed on the x-ray diffraction spectra of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate. A rather specific x-ray diffraction pattern of octacalcium phosphate pentahydrate revealed the only one strong peak at small angles. In all cases, significant deviations are observed for the recorded angular positions and relative intensity of the diffraction peaks. The results of the study of experimentally obtained mixtures of calcium phosphate are presented. It is shown that the graphic comparison of experimental x-ray diffraction spectra and pre-recorded spectra of the reference calcium phosphates and possible impurity phases is the most effective method. In this case, there is no need for calibration. When using this method, the total time for analysis of one sample is no more than 10 min.

Absorbents used in closed and semi-closed circuit environments play a key role in preventing carbon dioxide poisoning. Here we present an analysis of one of the most common carbon dioxide absorbents—soda lime. In the first step, we analyzed the composition of fresh and used samples. For this purpose, volumetric and photometric analyses were introduced. Thermal properties and decomposition patterns were also studied using thermogravimetric and X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD) analyses. We also investigated the kinetics of carbon dioxide absorption under conditions imitating a closed-circuit environment.

AbstractQuantitative estimates were made by visually matching computer-simulated with experimental X-ray powder diffractometer patterns for two samples. One was a natural mixture of dickite and nacrite in about equal proportions. The second sample contained mostly quartz with corundum and mullite in small (0.5–1%) amounts. Percentages deduced from pattern matching agreed to within ±10% of the weight fractions of the components determined by an alternative method of analysis.

M2(dhtp)·nH2O (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn; dhtp = 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate), known as MOF74, is a family of excellent sorbent materials for CO2 that contains coordinatively unsaturated metal sites and a honeycomb-like structure featuring a broad one-dimensional channel. This paper describes the structural feature and provides reference X-ray powder diffraction patterns of these four isostructural compounds. The structures were determined using synchrotron diffraction data obtained at beam line 11-BM at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) in the Argonne National Laboratory. The samples were confirmed to be hexagonal R 3 (No. 148). From M = Mn, Co, Ni, to Zn, the lattice parameter a of MOF74 ranges from 26.131 73(4) Å to 26.5738(2) Å, c from 6.651 97(5) to 6.808 83(8) Å, and V ranges from 3948.08 Å3 to 4163.99 Å3, respectively. The four reference X-ray powder diffraction patterns have been submitted for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File (PDF).
