  • LIGHT METAL BOROHYDRIDES and Mg-BASED HYDRIDES for HYDROGEN STORAGE
    LIGHT METAL BOROHYDRIDES AND Mg-BASED HYDRIDES FOR HYDROGEN STORAGE by SHENG GUO A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Metallurgy and Materials College of Engineering and Physical Sciences University of Birmingham December 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Synopsis This work has investigated structural and compositional changes in LiBH4, Mg(BH4)2, Ca(BH4)2, LiBH4-Ca(BH4)2 during heating. The crystal and vibrational structures of these borohydrides/composites were characterized using lab-based X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy, with particular attention to the frequency/width changes of Raman vibrations of different polymorphs of borohydrides. The thermal stability and decomposition pathway of the borohydrides was studied in great detail mainly using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), in/ex situ XRD and Raman measurements, whilst the gaseous products during heating were monitored using a mass spectrometry (MS). Hydrogen is the main decomposition gaseous product from all of these compounds, but in some cases a very small amount of diborane release was also detected.

Imagine that scientists have made contact with life on a distant planet. The planet is composed of many of the same elements as are found on Earth. However, the in habitants of the planet have different names and symbols for the elements. The radio transmission gave data on the known chemical and physical properties of the first 30 elements that belong to Groups 1, 2, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. SEE if you can place the elements into a blank periodic table based on the information. You may need your Periodic Table as a reference for this activity. Here is the information on the elements. 1. The noble gases are bombal (Bo), wobble, (Wo), jeptum (J) and logon (L). Among these gases, wobble has the greatest atomic mass and bombal has the least. Logon is lighter than jeptum. 2. The most reactive group of metals are xtalt (X), byyou (By), chow (Ch) and quackzil (Q). Of these metals, chow has the lowest atomic mass. Quackzil is in the same period as wobble. 3. The most reactive group of nonmetals are apstrom (A), volcania (V), and kratt (Kt). Volcania is in the same period as quackzil and wobble. 4. The metalloids are Ernst (E), highho (Hi), terriblum (T) and sississ (Ss). Sissis is the metalloid with the highest mass number.

Heavy Metals in Cosmetics: The Notorious Daredevils and Burning Health Issues. Am J Biomed Sci & Res. 2019 - 4(5). AJBSR.MS.ID.000829. DOI: 10.34297/AJBSR.2019.04.000829 Received: August 13, 2019 | Published: August 20, 2019 Abstract Personal care products and facial cosmetics are commonly used by millions of consumers on a daily basis. Direct application of cosmetics on human skin makes it vulnerable to a wide variety of ingredients. Despite the protecting role of skin against exogenous contaminants, some of the ingredients in cosmetic products are able to penetrate the skin and to produce systemic exposure. Consumers’ knowledge of the potential risks of the frequent application of cosmetic products should be improved. While regulations exist in most of the high-income countries, in low income countries of heavy metals are strict. There is a need for enforcement of existing rules, and rigorous assessment of the effectiveness of these regulations. The occurrencethere

  • Crystal Chemistry of Light Metal Borohydrides
    Crystal chemistry of light metal borohydrides Yaroslav Filinchuk*, Dmitry Chernyshov, Vladimir Dmitriev Swiss-Norwegian Beam Lines (SNBL) at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), BP-220, 38043 Grenoble, France nd th Abstract. Crystal chemistry of M(BH4)n, where M is a 2 -4 period element, is reviewed. It is shown that except certain cases, the BH4 group has a nearly ideal tetrahedral geometry. Corrections of the experimentally determined H-positions, accounting for the displacement of the electron cloud relative to an average nuclear position and for a libration of the BH4 group, are considered. Recent studies of structural evolution with temperature and pressure are reviewed. Some borohydrides involving less electropositive metals (e.g. Mg and Zn) reveal porous structures and dense interpenetrated frameworks, thus resembling metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Analysis of phase transitions, and the related changes of the coordination geometries for M atoms and BH4 groups, suggests that the directional BH4…M interaction is at the ori- gin of the structural complexity of borohydrides. The ways to influence their stability by chemical modification are dis- cussed. Introduction Borohydrides, also called tetrahydroborates, are largely ionic compounds with a general formula M(BH4)n, consisting of n+ – metal cations M and borohydride anions BH4 . Due to a high weight percent of hydrogen, they are considered as prospective hydrogen storage materials. Indeed, some borohydrides desorb a large quantity of hydrogen (up to 20.8 wt %), although the decompositon temperatures are usually high. The search for better hydrogen storage materials, with denser structures and lower binding energies, has been hampered by a lack of basic knowledge about their structural properties.

The objective of this work is to present a review of titanium metallurgy focused on aerospace applications, including developments in the Brazilian production of titanium aimed at aerospace applications. The article includes an account of the evolution of titanium research in the Brazilian Institute (IAE/CTA) and the current state-of-art of titanium production in Brazil. Key words: Titanium, Aerospace industry, Powder metallurgy.
