The material characteristics and elastic properties of aluminum-substituted 11 angstrom tobermorite in the relict lime clasts of 2000-year-old Roman seawater harbor concrete are described with TG-DSC and Si-29 MAS NMR studies, along with nanoscale tomography, X-ray microdiffraction, and high-pressure X-ray diffraction synchrotron radiation applications. The crystals have aluminum substitution for silicon in tetrahedral bridging and branching sites and 11.49(3)angstrom interlayer (002) spacing. With prolonged heating to 350 degrees C, the crystals exhibit normal behavior. The experimentally measured isothermal bulk modulus at zero pressure, K-0, 55 +/- 5GPa, is less than ab initio and molecular dynamics models for ideal tobermorite with a double-silicate chain structure. Even so, K-0, is substantially higher than calcium-aluminum-silicate-hydrate binder (C-A-S-H) in slag concrete. Based on nanoscale tomographic study, the crystal clusters form a well connected solid, despite having about 52% porosity. In the pumiceous cementitious matrix, Al-tobermorite with 11.27 angstrom interlayer spacing is locally associated with phillipsite, similar to geologic occurrences in basaltic tephra. The ancient concretes provide a sustainable prototype for producing Al-tobermorite in high-performance concretes with natural volcanic pozzolans.

Combustion synthesis of calcium phosphate bioceramic powders
Tas, AC (Elsevier BV, 2000-12-01)
Calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite and tri-calcium phosphate) bioceramics closely resembling, in chemical composition, those found in vivo in human bones have been synthesized by using novel synthetic body fluid solutions via the self-propagating combustion synthesis (SPCS) method. Powder characterization was performed by XRD: ICP-AES, FTIR and SEM.
Improvement in sinterability and phase stability of hydroxyapatite and partially stabilized zirconia composites
Evis, Zafer; KUTBAY, IŞIL (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-01)
Composites of hydroxyapatite with partially stabilized zirconia with MgO or MgF2 were pressureless sintered between 1000 degrees C and 1300 degrees C. The reactions and transformations of phases were verified by X-ray diffraction. For the hydroxyapatite and zirconia composites with MgO, calcium from the hydroxyapatite diffused into the zirconia phase, and the hydroxyapatite decomposed to tri-calcium phosphate at sintering temperatures higher than 1000 degrees C. Above about 1200 degrees C, CaZrO3 was formed...
PHASE-RELATIONS IN THE SYSTEM CE2O3-CE2SI2O7 IN THE TEMPERATURE-RANGE 1150-DEGREES TO 1970-DEGREES-C IN REDUCING AND INERT ATMOSPHERES
TAS, AC; AKINC, M (Wiley, 1994-11-01)
The high-temperature phase relations in the system Ce2O3-Ce2Si2O7 have been studied in the temperature range 1150 degrees-1970 degrees C in inert and reducing atmospheres by conventional quenching and differential thermal analysis. Three eutectic reactions were found to occur at 1664 degrees C and 27 mol% SiO2 between Ce2O3 and Ce2SiO5, at 1870 degrees C and 54 mol% SiO2 between Ce2SiO5 and Ce-4.67(SiO4)(3)O, and at 1762 degrees C and 65 mol% SiO2 between Ce-4.67(SiO4)(3)O and Ce2Si2O7. Microstructural char...
Carbothermic formation of boron nitride
Aydogdu, A; Sevinc, N (Elsevier BV, 2003-01-01)
Formation of boron nitride by reaction of boric oxide with carbon and nitrogen was studied. It was found from the results of experiments conducted by holding BA-activated C mixtures under a flowing nitrogen atmosphere that formation of boron nitride was complete in 120 min at 1500 degreesC. After cleaning the reaction product from the ash of the activated carbon and from the unreacted B2O3 pure BN powder was obtained. B4C was found to exist as an intermediate species in the reaction products of the experime...
ACTIVITY COMPOSITION RELATIONS IN NIAL2O4-MNAL2O4 SOLID-SOLUTIONS AND STABILITIES OF NIAL2O4 AND MNAL2O4 AT 1300-DEGREES-C AND 1400-DEGREES-C
TIMUCIN, M; MUAN, A (Wiley, 1992-06-01)
Activities of NiO were measured in the oxide and spinel solutions of the system MnO-NiO-Al2O3 at 1300-degrees and 1400-degrees-C with the aim of deriving information on the thermodynamic properties of the spinel phases. Synthetic samples in selected phase assemblages of the system were equilibrated with metallic nickel and a gas phase of known oxygen partial pressures at a total pressure of 1 atm. The data on NiO activities and directions of conjugation lines between coexisting oxide and spinel phases were ...
