Fine Grained Structure

The principles of jet electrodeposition orientated by rapid prototyping were introduced. The nanocrystalline nickel parts with simple shape were fabricated using jet electrodeposition. The microstructure and phase transformation of nanocrystalline nickel were observed under the scanning microscope and X-ray diffraction instrument. The results show that the jet electrodeposition can greatly enhance the limited current density, fine crystalline particles and improve deposition quality. The nickel parts prepared by jet electrodeposition own a fine-grained structure (average grain size 25.6nm) with a smooth surface and high dimensional accuracy under the optimum processing parameters.

Removal Of Arsenic

An elevated arsenic (As) content in groundwater imposes a great threat to people worldwide. Thus, developing new and cost-effective methods to remove As from groundwater and drinking water becomes a priority. Using Zero-Valent iron (ZVI) to remove As from water is a proven technology. In this study, ZVI modified SBA-15 mesoporous silicamolecular sieves (ZVI-SBA-15), was prepared, characterized, and used for removing arsenic from water. Wet impregnation, drying, and calcination steps led to iron inclusion within the mesopores. Iron oxide was reduced to ZVI by NaBH4, and the ZVI modified SBA-15 was obtained. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the preparation process of the nitrate to oxide forms. The structure of the materials was confirmed by Powder X-ray diffraction. Its data indicated that the structure of ZVI-SBA-15 retained the host SBA-15 structure. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis revealed a decrease in surface area and pore size, indicating ZVI-SBA-15 coating on the inner surfaces. Transmission electron micrographs also confirmed that modified SBA-15 retained the structure of the parent SBA-15 silica.It has a high uptake capability(more than 90 pecent) make it potentially attractive absorbent for the removal of arsenic from water.

Morphology And Structure

Two new samples of poly(amide-imide)-montmorillonite reinforced nanocomposites containing N-trimellitylimido-L-valine moiety in the main chain were synthesized by a convenient solution intercalation technique. Poly(amide-imide) (PAI) 5 as a source of polymer matrix was synthesized by the direct polycondensation reaction of N-trimellitylimido-L-valine (3) with 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether 4 in the presence of triphenyl phosphite (TPP), CaCl2, pyridine and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). Morphology and structure of the resulting PA-nanocomposite films (5a) and (5b) with 10 and 20 % silicate particles were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of clay dispersion and the interaction between clay and polymeric chains on the properties of nanocomposite films were investigated by using Uv-vis spectroscopy,  thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and water uptake measurements.

Abstract Using the available analytical methods, including the determination of chemical composition using wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescent spectroscopy technique and phase composition determined using X-ray diffraction, microstructural observations in a highresolution scanning microscope equipped with an X-ray microanalysis system as well as determination of characteristic softening and sintering temperatures using high-temperature microscope, the properties of particular chromite sands were defined. For the study has been typed reference sand with chemical properties, physical and thermal, treated as standard, and the sands of the regeneration process and the grinding process. Using these kinds of sand in foundries resulted in the occurrence of the phenomenon of the molding mass sintering. Impurities were identified and causes of sintering of a moulding sand based on chromite sand were characterized. Next, research methods enabling a quick evaluation of chromite sand suitability for use in the preparation of moulding sands were selected.

Abstract In this study, starch-stabilized nanoscale zero-valent iron (S-nZVI) was produced using the liquid-phase reduction method. It was used to remove chromium from wastewater, and compared to a commercial nanoscale zero-valent iron (C-nZVI). Both nZVIs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The characterization results showed that S-nZVI had smaller particles and a more uniform particle size distribution than C-nZVI. Both nZVIs showed a core-shell structure with the Fe0 core prominently surrounded by less iron oxides of Fe2+ and Fe3+. The optimal application methods to remove Cr(VI) from wastewater were also explored. The results showed that both the removal efficiencies of total Cr and Cr(VI) increased with increases in the addition of nZVIs, while the removal efficiencies of total Cr and Cr(VI) by S-nZVI were clearly higher than that of C-nZVI, especially in a low pH range (pH = 1.0–6.0). This research indicated that starch-stabilized nanoscale zero-valent iron is a valuable material to remove heavy metals from wastewater due to its stability and high reactivity.

Properties Of Composites

The antimicrobial functionality of composites constituted by chitosan with silver-doped zeolites was developed and characterized. A composite with chitosan particles and silver-doped zeolites was synthesized using an ionic gelation process with sodium tripolyphosphate. The chitosan silver-doped zeolites composite obtained presented sizes up to 5 μm, while the silver-doped zeolites had an average size between 0.5 μm and 3.3 μm. The synthesized chitosan silver-doped zeolites composites, as well as the silver-doped zeolites and the chitosan dissolution, were characterized through X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The electro kinetic behaviour of chitosan, silver-doped zeolites and chitosan silver-doped zeolites composite was evaluated under different pH conditions. The antimicrobial activity of the composites was evaluated in terms of minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum lethal concentrations and the results suggest that the chitosan silver-doped zeolites composites show antimicrobial activity against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively and against Candida albicans. The results here presented support the potential application of the composite of chitosan with silver-doped zeolites in the functionalization of textiles with antimicrobial properties.

A new class of nanoscale zero-valent iron particles supported on natural montmorillonite and organo-montmorillonite were synthesized and the feasibility for the removal of and was examined through laboratory batch test. The X – ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectrum (FTIR) investigation has been applied for determination of the particle size and mechanism of remediation process. The aim of this study was to enhance the reduction of persistent environmental pollutants difficult to degrade by immobilization of nanoscale zero-valent iron on an organo-montmorillonite. Batch experiments indicated that the reduction of both and was much greater with organo-montmorillonite supported iron nanoparticles reaching removal rate up to 98.5% and 95.6% respectively at the initial metal concentrations of 50 mg/L. Iron and crystalline iron oxide were detected by X-ray diffraction patterns. In the FTIR spectrum, CH2 groups were found in iron nanoparticles supported on hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide modified montmorillonite (HDTMA-Mont/nZVI) particles but were significantly weakened in comparison with the spectrum of hexadecyl trimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA). Other factor that affects the efficiency of heavy metals removal such as pH values was also investigated. The obtained data and review of the current literature have given the opportunity to figure out the mechanisms of and removal which may thus promote the industrial application of nZVI technique in environmental remediation by changing the hydrophilic – hydrophobic properties of source systems.
