INTRODUCTION Although a considerable number of precipitants have been pro- posed for the determination of aluminium, direct precipitation of aluminium hydroxide by means of ammonium hydroxide, fol- lowed by ignition to oxide, is most commonly used, especially if no separation from iron is desired, in which latter case special methods must be employed. While the general principles involved in this determination are extremely simple, it has long been recog- nized that certain precautions in the precipitation, washing, and ignition are necessary if accurate results are to be obtained. While, however, most of these details have been studied and dis- cussed by numerous authors, it is noteworthy that few publica- tions or textbooks have taken account of all the factors. In the 515 ; 516 Bulletin of the Bureau of Standards [Voi.i3 present paper it seems desirable, therefore, to assemble the various recommendations and to consider their basis and their accuracy.

  • Isomorphous Substitution of Aluminium for Silicon in Tobermoritic Structure
    Isomorphous Substitution of Aluminium for Silicon in Tobermoritic Structure. I. The Mixtures of Different Forms of Silicon Dioxide and of Different Compounds of Aluminium J. PETROVIÖ, V. RUSNÁK and L. ŠTEVULA Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava 9 Received July 2, 1968 The isomorphous substitution of Al(III) for Si(IV) in tobermoritic structure was examined by X-ray phase analysis and DTA. It has been found that the extent of the substitution depends on the materials used. The samples were prepared using different forms of silica-either ^-quartz, quartz-glass, Si02-gel or aerosil. Gibbsite, boehmite, dehydrated kaolinite, kaolinite, corundum and 7-AI2O3 were used as sources of aluminium. The samples were heated in an autoclave at 150, 180 and 200°C for 10, 24 and in some cases for 48 hours. Tobermorite can be synthesized from calcium oxide and silica under hydrothermal conditions. Up to temperatures of about 110°C it is stable, at higher temperatures and under hydrothermal conditions it is formed as an unstable compound. When the reaction is allowed to proceed for a longer time, or when it takes place at higher tem­ perature, another stable calcium hydrosilicate arises. At lower temperature a calcium hydrosilicate with tobermoritic structure is formed. It has been found that tobermori­ te is produced on autoclaving building materials containing lime and some materials with high SÍO2 content. It is also formed from anhydrous dicalcium silicates in the course of setting of cement. Under different conditions, compounds with tobermoritic structure arise which, however, differ in the amount or lime and water in the molecu­ le, as well as in the arrangement of the structure — e.g.

  • The Adsorption Characteristics of Cu(II)
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The adsorption characteristics of Cu(II) and Zn(II) on the sediments at the mouth of a typical urban polluted river in Dianchi Lake: taking Xinhe as an example Xiang‑shu Ma1,2,3, Leng Liu1,2,3, Yi‑chuan Fang1,2,3 & Xiao‑long Sun1,2,3* This study is to determine the spatial distribution characteristics of Cu and Zn adsorption on the sediments of the estuary of Dianchi Lake, as well as the composite adsorption law of Cu and Zn on combinations of sediment organic matter, metal oxides, and organic–inorganic composites. The relationship between the adsorption contribution of each component of the substance. A static adsorption experiment was applied to the sediments in the estuary of Dianchi Lake. The relationship between adsorption capacity and sediment composition was analyzed through correlation analysis and redundant analysis. The results show that along the direction of the river fow and the vertical depth, the adsorption capacity presents a relatively obvious spatial distribution law; the change trend of sediment component content is not the same as the change trend of Cu and Zn adsorption capacity. The change trend of the sediment component content is not the same as the change trend of the adsorption amount of Cu and Zn, and the compound efect between the components afects the adsorption amount. The adsorption of Cu by the four groups of sediments after diferent treatments is more in line with the Freundlich isotherm adsorption model; When adsorbing Zn, the untreated and removed organic matter and iron‑aluminum oxide group are in good agreement with the Freundlich model, while the organic matter‑removed group and the iron‑aluminum oxide removal group are more consistent with the Langmuir isotherm adsorption model; The adsorption contribution rate of organic–inorganic composites in sediments is not a simple addition of organic matter and iron‑ aluminum oxides, but a more complex quantitative relationship.

  • Sintering of Aluminum Powder with Microwave

Sheshgiri College of Engineering & Technology, Belgaum, India1 Abstract: Sintering or frittage is the process of compacting and forming a solid mass of material by heat or pressure without melting it to the point of liquefaction. Sintering happens naturally in mineral deposits or as a manufacturing process used with metals, ceramics, plastics, and other materials. Sintering happens naturally in mineral deposits or as a manufacturing process used with metals, ceramics, plastics, and other materials. The atoms in the materials diffuse across the boundaries of the particles, fusing the particles together and creating one solid piece. Because the sintering temperature does not have to reach the melting point of the material, sintering is often chosen as the shaping process for materials with extremely high melting points such as tungsten and molybdenum. The study of sintering in metallurgy powder-related processes is known as powder metallurgy. An example of sintering can be observed when ice cubes in a glass of water adhere to each other, which is driven by the temperature difference between the water and the ice. Examples of pressure-driven sintering are the compacting of snowfall to a glacier, or the forming of a hard snowball by pressing loose snow together. Keywords: Sintering, Aluminium, Silicone Carbide, Microwave Sintering I. INTRODUCTION Most, if not all, metals can be sintered. This applies especially to pure metals produced in vacuum which suffer no surface contamination.

  • Review Report for Aluminum Oxide (CASRN 1344-28-1) Partial Exemption
    Review Report for Aluminum Oxide (CASRN 1344-28-1) Partial Exemption May 2019: The Aluminum Association Docket Identifier: EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0224 Summary of Decision: In response to a petition from the Aluminum Association1 (hereinafter “petitioner”) requesting that aluminum oxide (CASRN 1344-28-1) be added to the 40 CFR 711.6(b)(2)(iv) list of specific chemical substances for which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, “the Agency”) has a low current interest in the processing and use information, EPA has determined that the Agency does not have a low current interest in the processing and use information collected under the Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule (see 40 CFR Part 711) for aluminum oxide (Al2O3). This determination is based on the totality of information available for the chemical substance, including an evaluation of all the considerations listed in 40 CFR 7l1.6(b)(2)(ii), as well as additional considerations. Background: EPA received a petition from the Aluminum Association on January 31, 2019, requesting that aluminum oxide (Al2O3) (CASRN 1344-28-1) be added to the 40 CFR 711.6(b)(2)(iv) list of specific chemical substances that are exempt from the reporting requirements of 40 CFR 711.15(b)(4) (i.e., exempt from requirements to report industrial processing and use and commercial/consumer use information). EPA has a low current interest in the substances on this “partial exemption” list and thus in the related CDR processing and use information. EPA emphasizes that low current interest is not synonymous with low hazard or low risk. As EPA stated in the preamble to the Inventory Update Reporting Amendments rule (the previous name for the Chemical Data Reporting rule), “[t]he inclusion of a chemical substance under this partial exemption is not itself a determination of the potential risks of a chemical.
