A water desorption process of a mixture of room temperature ionic liquid (N, N-diethyl-N-methyl-N-(2-methoxyethyl) ammonium tetrafluoroborate) and water was investigated via simultaneous X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements, in which relative humidity was controlled by a water vapor generator. In these measurements, H2O concentration was estimated by the peak position of the principal peak in X-ray diffraction patterns, and the thermal property associated with a mixing state was detected by a DSC thermograph. In addition, the density of the mixture was measured as a macroscopic property. In situ observations revealed that the thermally unstable mixing state in the water-rich region has an important correlation with density and thermal and structural properties.

Microstructure evolution of high energy milled Al-50wt%Si alloy during heat treatment at different temperature was studied. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that the size of the alloy powders decreased with increasing milling time. The observable coarsening of Si particles was not seen below 730°C in the high energy milled alloy, whereas, for the alloy prepared by mixed Al and Si powders, the grain growth occurred at 660°C. The activation energy for the grain growth of Si particles in the high energy milled alloy was determined as about 244 kJ/mol by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data analysis. The size of Si particles in the hot pressed Al-50wt%Si alloy prepared by high energy milled powders was 5-30 m at 700°C, which was significantly reduced compared to that of the original Si powders. Thermal diffusivity of the hot pressed Al-50wt%Si alloy was 55 mm2/s at room temperature which was obtained by laser method.

Solid lipid microparticles produced with a mixture of cupuacu butter and stearic acid were used to microencapsulate a commercial casein hydrolysate (Hyprol 8052). The composition of the lipid matrix used for the production of the lipid microparticles was chosen according to data on the wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of bulk lipid mixtures, which indicated that the presence of 10 % cupuacu butter was sufficient to significantly change the crystalline arrangement of pure stearic acid. Preliminary tests indicated that a minimum proportion of 4 % of surfactant (polysorbate 80) was necessary to produce empty spherical lipid particles with average diameters below 10 mm. The lipid microparticles were produced using 20 % cupuacu butter and 80 % stearic acid and then stabilized with 4 % of polysorbate 80, exhibiting an encapsulation efficiency of approximately 74 % of the casein hydrolysate. The melting temperature of the casein hydrolysate-loaded lipid microparticles was detected at 65.2 °C, demonstrating that the particles were solid at room temperature as expected and indicating that the incorporation of peptides had not affected their thermal behavior. After 25 days of storage, however, there was a release of approximately 30 % of the initial amount of encapsulated casein hydrolysate. This release was not thought to have been caused by the liberation of encapsulated casein hydrolysate. Instead, it was attributed to the possible desorption of the adsorbed peptides present on the surface of the lipid microparticles.

The influences of Gd concentration on martensitic transformation and magnetic properties of NiMnIn alloys were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) , vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and etc. It is Observed through the experiment: the addition of Gd enhances martensite transition temperature;X-ray diffraction analysis of experimental alloys is revealed that to the mixture is martensite and austenite at room temperature; content of Gd is not proportional to the improvement of magnetic property.

The crystal structure and thermal properties of the [Formula: see text] compound have been investigated. Structural studies were performed by X-ray diffraction at room temperature. The crystal structure of this compound was found to correspond to the hexagonal symmetry of the space group P61. Thermal properties were studied using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found in the temperature range [Formula: see text] that thermal effects occur at temperatures [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The thermodynamic parameters of these effects are calculated.

The organic–inorganic hybrid compound 4-aminopyridinium tetraaquabis(sulfato)iron(III), (C5H7N2)[FeIII(H2O)4(SO4)2] (4apFeS), was obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the temperature range from 290 to 80 K. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the title compound undergoes a sequence of three reversible phase transitions, which has been verified by variable-temperature X-ray diffraction analysis during cooling–heating cycles over the temperature ranges 290–100–290 K. In the room-temperature phase (I), space group C2/c, oxygen atoms from the closest Fe-atom environment (octahedral) were disordered over two equivalent positions around a twofold axis. Two intermediate phases (II), (III) were solved and refined as incommensurately modulated structures, employing the superspace formalism applied to single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Both structures can be described in the (3+1)-dimensional monoclinic X2/c(α,0,γ)0s superspace group (where X is ½, ½, 0, ½) with modulation wavevectors q = (0.2943, 0, 0.5640) and q = (0.3366, 0, 0.5544) for phases (II) and (III), respectively. The completely ordered low-temperature phase (IV) was refined with the twinning model in the triclinic P{\overline 1} space group, revealing the existence of two domains. The dynamics of the disordered anionic substructure in the 4apFeS crystal seems to play an essential role in the phase transition mechanisms. The discrete organic moieties were found to be fully ordered even at room temperature.

The structure and thermal behavior are key factors that influence the functional response of Ni–Mn–Sn alloys. The present study reports the production as well as the structure and thermal analysis of melt-spun (solidification rate: 40 ms−1) Ni50 Mn50−xSnx (x = 10, 11, 12 and 13 at.%) alloys. X-ray diffraction measurements were performed at room temperature. The austenite state has an L21 structure, whereas the structure of the martensite is 7M or 10M (depending on the Sn/Mn percentage). Furthermore, the structural martensitic transformation was detected by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). As expected, upon increasing the Sn content, the characteristic temperatures also increase. The same tendency is detected in the thermodynamic parameters (entropy and enthalpy). The e/a control allows the development production of alloys with a transformation close to room temperature.

Environmental context. Very fine phosphor ashes are discharged from particulate collection systems (such as bag houses) in the cathode ray tube or television disassembling processes. Effective recovery of ZnO and ZnS nanoparticles from the phosphor ash can be achieved by extraction with a room temperature ionic liquid. By synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption spectroscopy, the obtained molecular scale data turn out to be very useful in revealing speciation of zinc in the extraction process, which also facilitates the development of a simple nanoparticle recovery method. Abstract. An effective, simple method has been developed for the recovery of ZnO and ZnS nanoparticles from hazardous phosphor ash waste. Experimentally, zinc (77%) in the phosphor ash (that contains mainly zinc (91%)) can be recovered by extraction with a room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) ([C4mim][PF6], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate). Component fitted X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra of zinc indicate that metallic zinc (Zn) (9%) in the phosphor ash can be dissolved to form a Zn2+–1-methylimidazole ([mim]) complex during extraction with the RTIL. ZnS and ZnO nanoparticles (60–61%) can also be extracted from the phosphor. Over the 298–523 K temperature range, desired ZnO/ZnS ratios (0.3–0.6) can be obtained since interconversion of ZnS to ZnO in the RTIL is temperature dependent. The Fourier transformed extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data also show that the nanosize ZnS extracted in the RTIL possesses a Zn–S bond distance of 2.33 Å with coordination numbers (CNs) of 3.6–3.7. At 523 K, in the RTIL, ~30% of the ZnS is oxidised to form octahedral ZnO (with a bond distance of 2.10 Å and a CN of 6.1) that may coat the surfaces of the ZnS nanoparticles. This work exemplifies the utilisation of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS and XANES) to reveal speciation and possible reaction pathways in a nanoparticle extraction process (with a RTIL) in detail.
