this paper presents a systematic study of the surface chemistry, porous texture and adsorptive characteristics of prepared new activated carbon using persian mesquite grain. several techniques and methodologies such as, proximate analysis, n2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscope (sem), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd), x-ray photoe...

Certain minerals in soil clays may be directly estimated from diffraction line intensity and the mass absorption coefficient of the sample to the radiation used. The main advantages of the method described are that no internal standards or calibration charts are required, and any diffraction line of the component to be estimated may be chosen. The results obtained compare favourably with chemic...

three high-silica mordenite zeolites differing in sio440, ratio were prepared by direct synthesis without using any template. the products si02/a120, ratio is influenced by the starting gel composition. this ratio is increased upon ion-exchange with nh,cl and subsequent calcination to prepare protonic mordenite. the protonic mordenites with si02/a1203ra tios of 14.6,29.2 and 34.6 were character...

Purpose: To clarify the origin of a metallic intraocular foreign body (IOFB) due to a firecracker injury and to show the utility of X-ray diffraction analysis in the identification process. Methods: Interventional case report using X-ray diffraction technique. Results: We report a mechanism of firecracker ocular injury not previously described in the published literature. It involved penetratio...

zns  nanoparticles  were  synthesized  via  a  simple  surfactant  free microwave  route.  in  this  synthesis, thioacetamide  was  used  as sulfur  source.  the effects  of different  parameters  such  as  type of zinc precursor,  time  and  power  of  irradiation  on  the  morphology and  particle  size  of  the  products  have been  investigated.  the nanostructures  were  characterized  by ...

We review an atomic resolution imaging method based on the analysis of the fine structure in X-ray absorption anisotropy, which results from incident beam diffraction. For a polychromatic X-ray beam, due to the suppression of higher order diffraction fringes, X-ray absorption anisotropy patterns can be interpreted as distorted real-space projections of the atomic structure around absorbing atom...

A century has passed since the first X-ray diffraction experiment (Friedrich et al. 1912). During this time, X-ray diffraction has become a commonly used technique for the identification and characterization of materials and the field has seen continuous development. Advances in the theory of diffraction, in the generation of X-rays, in techniques and data analysis tools changed the ways X-ray ...
