Iron oxide compounds in 12 selected Canadian soil samples have been characterized by Mössbauer, X-ray, chemical, infrared absorption, and differential thermal methods. Chemical differentiation provides useful information about the forms of iron compounds present such as crystalline, amorphous, inorganic, and organic complexed iron compounds. X-ray diffraction methods can generally identify mineral species of crystalline iron compounds. However, detection limits of goethite and hematite, which are iron oxide minerals commonly present in soils, are about 7% and 10%, respectively. The Mössbauer method is especially useful for identification of small amounts of these iron oxide compounds which are far beyond X-ray detection limits. In addition, information about grain size of hematite and goethite, the Fe3+/Fe2+ ratio and characterization of the 'amorphous' fraction are also available from Mössbauer spectra. Infrared absorption and differential thermal analyses provide supplementary data concerning organic complexed iron compounds.Hematite content in the soils examined is always lower than 10%, but goethite content varies widely and coexistence of both minerals appears to be common.

Kaolin-ZVI (Zero Valent Iron) composite has been synthesized through reduction method. This study aims to synthesize and investigate the characteristics of kaolin-ZVI composite using X-ray diffraction, infrared absorption and gas adsorption on the surface of these material; the adsorption performance of Kaolin-ZVI composite investigated on ​​adsorbed of Cr (VI). In this study, the Kaolin used is using Indonesian Natural. Kaolin-ZVI Composite synthesized from Fe (III): BH4-ratio was 1: 9 and ZVI ​​the synthesized from Fe (III): BH4-ratio was 1: 2. The results showed that the fraction of kaolin modified with ZVI suffered destruction. Based on the analysis using XRD known that Fe0 formed on kaolin-ZVI, and ZVI; iron compounds such as iron oxide and magnetite maghemit are dominating in the two samples.

Considering the demand of ceramic stain colours in Bangladesh, an attempt has been taken to develop iron-chromium-zinc pigment based ceramic stain colour of red-brown shade which could be used as an import substitute material in the local ceramic industries. The desired shade of red-brown stain was synthesized from an equimolar mixture of pure chromium oxide (Cr2O3), iron oxide (Fe2O3) and zinc oxide (ZnO). The developed stain was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The characteristic of the stain complied with the chemical durability. Moreover, chromium leaching was below the permissible exposure limit which makes it as a promising ceramic stain to be used in our ceramic industries.

AbstractThe main clay mineral in weathered basaltic rubble has been shown by X-ray diffraction, chemical, infrared and differential thermal methods to be an interstratification of montmorillonite, vermiculite and illite in the approximate ratio 2:1:1, the montmorillonite having some degree of segregation and the vermiculite and illite being randomly interstratified. All three components are dioctahedral, the swelling ones having a high tetrahedral charge, a large aluminium content, and very little iron. Despite the 50% montmorillonite content of the mineral, its infrared absorption pattern is generally illitic in character.

This study combined chemical ultrasonic modifications and microwave oven heating to prepare a novel adsorbent, bagasse iron oxide biochar, (BIBC) to remove phosphate from aqueous solutions. The characterization of BIBC was made by energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses, and the mechanism of phosphorus adsorption on BIBC was researched by adsorption batch experiments with emphasis on pH, dosages of BIBC, initial phosphorus concentration, and adsorption time. The BIBC’s BET specific surface area and pore volumes were 81.94 m2 g−1 and 26.74 cm3 g−1, respectively. The pH for the optimal phosphorus adsorption by BIBC ranged from 5.0 to 7.0. The maximum adsorption capacities of phosphorus (according to the Langmuir model) were 3.62, 4.06, and 4.32 mg g-1 at temperatures of 25, 35, and 45 °C, respectively. Electrostatic interaction, surface adsorption of phosphorus on BIBC, and ion exchange were the main mechanisms of phosphorus adsorption. According to XPS results, Fe2p was involved in the adsorption reaction. The adsorption of phosphorus by BIBC is considered to be mainly chemical adsorption. The BIBC was stable under a pH range from 4.0 to 10.0 and secondary pollution did not result.

In this present study, Iron Oxide nano particles were synthesized by using Green method. For this synthesis on Iron oxide, the leaf extract of piper betle was used as a reducing agent and FeCl3 as a precursor. Thus, they were characterized by XRD, SEM,EDX and FTIR. The parity of Fe2O3 nano particles was confirmed by EDX. The crystalline size of Iron Oxide nano particles was analyzed using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) spectrum. The functional groups are identified in Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The surface morphology of the Iron Oxide Nano particles is found from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The optical properties are determined by using UV-Visible Spectroscopy. Thus, the so-formed nano particles were Fe2O3.

Background: Iron oxide (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles have been prepared by a simplified coprecipitation method. Methods: X-ray diffraction peaks of the prepared nanoparticles match well with the characteristic peaks of crystalline g-Fe2O3 as per JCPDS data (JCPDS Card No. 39-1346) and absorption peak at 369 nm along with band gap 2.10 eV suggesting the formation of (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles. Results: The γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles are spherical in nature with a diameter around ~10 nm. Conclusion: The crystalline g-Fe2O3 nanoparticles exhibit excellent super-paramagnetic behavior not only at room temperature (300K) but also at a temperature as low as 100K.

This work has for objective to characterize the clay from Vale do Mulembá-ES. The Vale do Mulembá is located in Joana D´Arc, Vitória in Espírito Santo State, Brazil. That clay is used in the production of the traditional clay pans of the State, what contributes to the economy of the area. The clay from Vale do Mulembá presents characteristics and behavior different from the other clays used for the production of clay pans. The characterization studies were carried out through chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, particle size distribution, plasticity and thermal analyses (DTA, TGA). The results showed that the clay is typical kaolinitic, present relatively to the amount high of Al2O3 and high plasticity.

Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by precipitation in isobutanol with sodium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide. The isobutanol played a role of a surfactant in the synthesis. The nanoparticles were calcined for 100 min to 5 hours in the range of 300 to 600°C. The characterization of the samples by FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) confirmed the formation ofγ-Fe2O3(maghemite) from Fe3O4(magnetite) at calcination at 300°C. The morphology and particle size were studied by SEM (scanning electron microscope). Nanoparticles in the range of 11–22 nm prepared at 0.09 M of ferrous chloride exhibited superparamagnetic properties. Nanoparticles synthesized with ferrous chloride and ammonium hydroxide at 75°C and calcined at 530°C for 2 h wereα-Fe2O3(hematite).

Objective of this work was to compare morphology, crystalline and thermal properties of cellulose nano fibers derived from wheat straw by two different processes (ball milling and acid hydrolysis treatment). The characterization of extracted CNFs was done by Scanning electron micrograph (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It was found from morphological, crystalline and thermal analyses that isolated cellulose nanofibers have diameter of nano meter ranges (10–25 nm), 68–80 % crystallinity and decomposition temperature of around 284–353° C, depending upon isolation techniques.
