Shape properties of calcite and barite particles ground by ball, rod and autogenous mills were examined by using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Shape properties have been stated in terms of shape descriptors such as elongation ratio, flatness, roundness and relative width by measuring about 200 particles. The results were correlated with the critical surface tension (gamma(c)) of wetting determined by contact angle and micro-flotation methods. The correlations set between the shape properties and the wettability for the minerals studied are in the form of "gamma(c) = a (shape property) + b" type of equations (where a and b are constants). The results revealed that particles with higher flatness and elongation ratio had higher apparent hydrophobicity without being affected by the mill type.

Effects of the shape properties of talc and quartz particles on the wettability based separation processes Hicyilmaz, C; Ulusoy, U; Yekeler, M (2004-06-30) Shape properties of talc and quartz particles ground by a laboratory size ball, rod, and autogenous mills were studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM). More than 100 particles were measured to do the shape analysis of each mill product. The wettability behavior of (gamma(c)) a highly hydrophobic of talc mineral was determined by contact angle measurements and microflotation tests using a contact angle goniometer and EMDEE MicroFLOT test tube, respectively. On the other hand, wettability (gamma(c)) ...
Effect of particle shape and roughness of talc mineral ground by different mills on the wettability and floatability Yekeler, M; Ulusoy, U; Hicyilmaz, C (2004-02-16) In this study, shape characteristics of talc particles produced by ball, rod and autogenous mills were investigated using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and expressed by the shape descriptors such as elongation, flatness, roundness and relative width by measuring on the particle projections in two dimensions (2D). Approximately, 139 particles were measured for image analysis from each mill product. Surface roughness values of talc mineral have been expressed by the parameters of R-a value on the pellete...
Properties of Al2O3: nc-Si nanostructures formed by implantation of silicon ions into sapphire and amorphous films of aluminum oxide Tetelbaum, D. I.; Mikhaylov, A. N.; Belov, A. I.; Ershov, A. V.; Pitirimova, E. A.; Plankina, S. M.; Smirnov, V. N.; Kovalev, A. I.; Turan, Raşit; Yerci, Selçuk; Finstad, T. G.; FOSS, SEAN (2009-02-01) Photoluminescence, infrared Fourier spectroscopy, Raman scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and electron diffraction were used to study the luminescent, optical, and structural properties of aluminum oxide layers (sapphire and films of Al2O3 deposited on silicon) implanted with Si+ to produce silicon nanocrystals. It is established that, in both cases, a high-temperature annealing of heavily implanted samples brings about the formation of silicon nanocrystals. However, the luminescent properties o...
Effect of synthesis parameters on the surface morphology of conducting polypyrrole films Kaynak, A (1997-03-01) Surface morphology of polypyrrole films was investigated by using atomic force and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Synthesis parameters such as dopant concentration and synthesis time and subsequent heat treatment were found to affect the surface morphology of electrochemically synthesized polypyrrole films. Mean height, root-mean-square roughness, and nodule diameter increased with increasing dopant concentration and synthesis time. Lightly doped, semiconducting films had smoother surface morpholo...
Effective mass and peculiarity of optical properties of Cadmium Sulfide nanoparticles Muradov, M. B.; Eyvazova, G. M.; Turan, Raşit; Maharramov, A. M. (2008-12-01) X-ray diffraction data, electron microscope and optical properties of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were analyzed. It is shown that the value of the reduced effective mass of charge carriers in nanoparticles differs from bulk crystals. Changes of effective mass and "red shift" in values of band gap are explained by the occurrence of additional electronic potential in nanoparticles.
