96 Quality Control of Clinker Products by SEM and XRF Analysis Ziad Abu
ACXRI '96 Quality Control of Clinker Products By SEM and XRF Analysis Ziad Abu Kaddourah and Khairun Azizi MY9700786 School of Materials and Mineral Resources Eng., Universiti Sains Malaysia 31750 Tronoh, Perak, Malaysia. ABSTRACT The microstructure and chemical properties of industrial Portland cement clinkers have been examined by SEM and XRF methods to establish the nature of the clinkers and how variations in the clinker characteristics can be used to control the clinker quality. The clinker nodules were found to show differences in the chemical composition and microstructure between the inner and outer parts of the clinker nodules. Microstructure studies of industrial Portland cement clinker have shown that the outer part of the nodules are enriched in silicate more than the inner part. There is better crystallization and larger alite crystal 9ize in the outer part than in the inner part. The alite crystal size varied between 16.2-46.12um. The clinker chemical composition was found to affect the residual >45um, where a higher belite content causes an increase in the residual >45um in the cement product and will cause a decrease in the concrete strength of the cement product. The aluminate and ferrite crystals and the microcracks within the alite crystal are clear in some clinker only. The quality of the raw material preparation, burning and cooling stages can be controlled using the microstructure of the clinker product. INTRODUCTION Examination of manufactured industrial clinkers using the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is usually conducted to study problems that can't be defined by the normal quality control procedures. Such a study can be used to give better information and knowledge about clinkers characteristics and how variations in the clinker characteristics are affected by variations in the various stages during the manufacturing process. -

Soft and Robust Identification of Body Fluid Using Fourier Transform
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Soft and Robust Identifcation of Body Fluid Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Received: 14 February 2018 Accepted: 21 May 2018 and Chemometric Strategies for Published: xx xx xxxx Forensic Analysis Ayari Takamura1,2, Ken Watanabe1, Tomoko Akutsu1 & Takeaki Ozawa2 Body fuid (BF) identifcation is a critical part of a criminal investigation because of its ability to suggest how the crime was committed and to provide reliable origins of DNA. In contrast to current methods using serological and biochemical techniques, vibrational spectroscopic approaches provide alternative advantages for forensic BF identifcation, such as non-destructivity and versatility for various BF types and analytical interests. However, unexplored issues remain for its practical application to forensics; for example, a specifc BF needs to be discriminated from all other suspicious materials as well as other BFs, and the method should be applicable even to aged BF samples. Herein, we describe an innovative modeling method for discriminating the ATR FT-IR spectra of various BFs, including peripheral blood, saliva, semen, urine and sweat, to meet the practical demands described above. Spectra from unexpected non-BF samples were efciently excluded as outliers by adopting the Q-statistics technique. The robustness of the models against aged BFs was signifcantly improved by using the discrimination scheme of a dichotomous classifcation tree with hierarchical clustering. The present study advances the use of vibrational spectroscopy and a chemometric strategy for forensic BF identifcation. Forensic science is an applied research feld that aims to develop and validate analytical methods for criminal investigation and justice. Although research interest in forensics is quite diversifed, the analysis of biological samples collected at a crime scene is undoubtedly one of the most important tasks owing to the ability to identify criminal acts and suspects by DNA profling. -

ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY for CIRCUIT BRANCHES Unit-3 NANO CHEMISTRY NANOCHEMISTRY
19CH201 – ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY FOR CIRCUIT BRANCHES Unit-3 NANO CHEMISTRY NANOCHEMISTRY – SYLLABUS Basics – Distinction between molecules, Nanoparticles and Bulk materials; Size-dependent properties. Nanoparticles: Nano-cluster, Nanorod, Nanotube(CNT) and Nanowire. Synthesis: Precipitation, Thermolysis, Hydrothermal, Solvothermal, Electro-deposition, Chemical Vapour Deposition, Laser ablation; Properties and Application. INTRODUCTION Nanochemistry is a branch of nanoscience, deals with the chemical applications of nanomaterials in nanotechnology. Nanochemistry involves the study of the synthesis and characterization of materials of nanoscale size. Nanochemistry is a relatively new branch of chemistry concerned with the unique properties associated with assemblies of atoms or molecules of nanoscale (~1-100 nm), so the size of nanoparticles lies somewhere between individual atoms or molecules (the ‘building blocks’) and larger assemblies of bulk material which we are more familiar with. There are physical and chemical techniques in manipulating atoms to form molecules and nanoscale assemblies. Physical techniques allow atoms to be manipulated and positioned to specific requirements for a prescribed use. Traditional chemical techniques arrange atoms in molecules using well characterized chemical reactions. Nanochemistry is the science of tools, technologies, and methodologies for novel chemical synthesis e.g. employing synthetic chemistry to make nanoscale building P.GANESHKUMAR/AP/SNSCE/CHEMISTRY Unit-III Page 1 blocks of desired (prescribed) shape, size, composition and surface structure and possibly the potential to control the actual self-assembly of these building blocks to various desirable size. Nanoparticles have a high surface to volume ratio which has a dramatic effect on their properties compared to non-nanoscale forms of the same material. DEFINITIONS (i) Nanoparticles Nanoparticles are the particles, the size of which ranges from 1 to 50 nm. -
The Bottom-Up Construction of Molecular Devices and Machines*
Pure Appl. Chem., Vol. 80, No. 8, pp. 1631–1650, 2008. doi:10.1351/pac200880081631 © 2008 IUPAC Nanoscience and nanotechnology: The bottom-up construction of molecular devices and machines* Vincenzo Balzani‡ Department of Chemistry “G. Ciamician”, University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna, Italy Abstract: The bottom-up approach to miniaturization, which starts from molecules to build up nanostructures, enables the extension of the macroscopic concepts of a device and a ma- chine to molecular level. Molecular-level devices and machines operate via electronic and/or nuclear rearrangements and, like macroscopic devices and machines, need energy to operate and signals to communicate with the operator. Examples of molecular-level photonic wires, plug/socket systems, light-harvesting antennas, artificial muscles, molecular lifts, and light- powered linear and rotary motors are illustrated. The extension of the concepts of a device and a machine to the molecular level is of interest not only for basic research, but also for the growth of nanoscience and the development of nanotechnology. Keywords: molecular devices; molecular machines; information processing; photophysics; miniaturization. INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology [1–8] is a frequently used word both in the scientific literature and in the common lan- guage. It has become a favorite, and successful, term among America’s most fraudulent stock promot- ers [9] and, in the venture capital world of start-up companies, is perceived as “the design of very tiny platforms upon which to raise enormous amounts of money” [1]. Indeed, nanotechnology is a word that stirs up enthusiasm or fear since it is expected, for the good or for the bad, to have a strong influence on the future of mankind. -
