The microstructure and phase analysis of in situ nitrides formation in MgAl2O4-C refractory were investigated with different temperature. The phase compositions and microstructure of the MgAl2O4-C refractory were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that sintering temperature has a significant influence on the microstructure and phase analysis of MgAl2O4 refractory. As the sintering temperatures are 1450°C and 1500°C, nitride that formed in samples is β-Sialon and the crystal morphology is columnar with short size. With the temperature rise to 1550°C and 1600°C, nitride formed in sample is AlON with the crystal morphology is tabular polymorph with large size.

BaBi4-xLaxTi4O15 (BBLT) ceramics were prepared by conventional solid phase sintering ceramics processing technology. The crystal structure and the microstructure were detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The XRD analyses show that La3+ ions doping did not change the crystal structure of BBT ceramics. The sintering temperature increased from 1120°C to 1150°C with increasing Lanthanum content from 0 to 0.5, but it widened the sintering temperature range from 20°C to 50°C and refined the grain size of the BBT ceramic. Additionally, polarization treatment was performed and finally piezoelectric property was measured. As a result, the piezoelectric constant d33 of the 0.1at.% doped BBLT ceramics reached its highest value about 22pc/N at polarizing electric field of 8kV/mm and polarizing temperature of 120°C for 30min.

The microcline powder, which collected from the hornblende syenite from Anhui, China, was treated by NaOH solution at 250 °C for 2-6h. The solid samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The XRD shows that the main solid sample is hydroxycancrinite. The images observed by SEM indicate that the crystal morphology of the hydroxycancrinite can be presented as hexagonal cylindrical when it reacted with 4.17M NaOH at 250 °C for 6h.

Zirconium titanate (ZrTiO4): ZT powders were prepared by solid-state mixed oxide method. The mixed powder was calcined at various temperatures for 3 h ranging from 1100 to 1400 oC with a heating rate of 5 oC/min. X-ray diffraction analysis of the powders was performed using a diffractometer with Cu Ka. Pyrochlore phase was observed for calcinations below 1300 oC. In general, the strongest reflections apparent in patterns could be matched with a JCPDS file number 74-1504. The optimum calcination temperature for the formation of ZrTiO4 phase was found to be about 1300 oC for 3 h with heating rate of 5 oC/min. The microstructures of calcined powders were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The particle size of powder increased with increasing calcination temperature. The ZT ceramics sintered at 1450, 1500, 1550 and 1600 oC for 4 h with heating rate of 5 oC/min, were checked for phase formation by X-ray diffraction. The density of sintered samples was measured by Archimedes method. The microstructures of sintered samples were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The average grain sizes were checked by linear interception method. It was found that, the samples sintered at 1450 and 1500 oC gave rise to high purity ZT ceramics and the peaks matched well with ZrTiO4 phase in a JCPDS file number 74-1504. Unknown phases were found in ZT ceramics sintered at 1550 and 1600 oC. The value of density was in the range of 4.32 - 4.92 g/cm3 or 84.26 - 96.12 % of the ZT theoretical density. The densification of ZT ceramics decreased with increasing sintering temperature. The ZT ceramics sintered at 1450 and 1500 oC showed the average grain size of 8.55 and 12.55 µm, respectively. At sintering temperature 1550 and 1600 oC, morphology of grains changed to plate like crystals of second phases.

In this paper, the phase compositions and microstructure of MgO-C samples containing Si powder in N2sintered at 1350-1500°C were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The α-Si3N4, β-Si3N4, MgSiN2and SiC phases have formed together with MgO and C phases in the sintered samples. The morphologies of β-Si3N4crystals were almost in the shape of rod-like through the α-β phase transformation of Si3N4by Mg-Si-O-N and silicon liquid. The morphologies of α-Si3N4crystals were in the shape of equiaxed. The morphology of MgSiN2crystals was in the shape of polyhedron with the size of 5 μm.

Sandstone pore-plugging is a serious problem that bothers acid in situ leaching (ISL) uranium deposit, but currently, the mechanism of pore-plugging has not attracted much attention. In this study, using X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscope, optical microscope, and X-ray diffraction, we present both macro- and micro-evidence of pore-plugging occurred during acid in situ mining of sandstone uranium deposit at Yili Basin, NW (northwest) China. Our study reveals that in comparison with normal sandstones, the plugged sandstones are yellow in color and have relatively high contents of Fe and chamosite. The plugging in studied samples is mainly caused by precipitation of Fe(OH)3 at a pH of 2.0–4.0 for quantitative effect and by precipitation of gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) as well. Alteration/dissolution of chamosite and to a lesser extent, Fe-bearing microcline and muscovite, may have contributed iron for Fe(OH)3 precipitation. It is suggested that adjustment of injection pH < 2.0 throughout the leaching passage would be an effective way to avoid/minimize this type of sandstone pore-plugging.

An in situ thermal oxidation strategy was proposed for synthesizing different SnO2 nanostructures, using our homemade SnS2 nanoplates as a precursor. The characterization results from X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscope revealed that the heating temperature played an important role in the microstructure and composition of the resultant products. By heating the SnS2 nanoplates in air at 400, 600 and 800 °C for 5 h, nanoplates, a mixture of nanoplates and nanoparticles, and nanoparticles of SnO2 were synthesized, respectively. The residual S was about 2.2 mol % in the product synthesized at 400 °C, while no residual S was detected in the products synthesized at 600 and 800 °C.

The effect of the neodymium content on mechanical properties of the electro-brush plated nanoAl2O3/Ni composite coating was investigated in this paper. The microstructure and phase structure were studied with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The hardness and abrasion properties of several coatings with different neodymium content were studied by nanoindentation test and friction / wear experiment. Results show that the coatings are much finer and more compact when the neodymium was added, and the hardness and abrasion property of the coatings with neodymium were improved obviously. Besides, the small cracks conduced by the upgrowth stress in the coatings were ameliorated when the rare earth neodymium was added. The improvement mechanism was further discussed.

Numerous methods have been used to produce high purity TiC. There is no previous study has been reported on the formation using single elemental powders of Titanium (Ti) and Carbon (C) with addition Nickel (Ni) by tungsten inert gas (TIG) weld method. In this work, TiC was synthesized via TIG method by arc melting elemental powder mixture of Ti and C at ~5 second (s) and 80 ampere (A). The effect Ni contents on TiC formation was investigated. The mixed raw material was ball milled for 24 hours followed by synthesis via TIG method. The arced samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was revealed, that small amount of Ni additive to the metal powder allows the production of dense and tough TiC.
