The model utilizes Gibbs energy minimization calculations, based on the energetic preference for Si-O-Al linkages over Si-O-Si and Al-O-Al, to calculate the concentrations of each type of bond. A random bond distribution is then applied to calculate the concentration of each possible tetrahedron coordination. The model output is compared with experimental 29 Si MAS NMR results, and found to predict the observed behavior satisfactorily. A correction to account for the presence of unreacted metakaolin in geopolymers is found to improve the model fit at low silica content. Next-nearest-neighbor effects are evident in deconvoluted NMR peak positions. The calculated energy penalty parameters closely match those obtained from the literature, and the trends in these parameters allow analysis of the effects of the different cations on geopolymerisation of metakaolin. The applicability of this model to geopolymeric systems indicates the potential for wider utilization in description of other amorphous aluminosilicate systems.","PeriodicalId":83360,"journal":{"name":"Transactions (English Ceramic Circle)","volume":"17 1","pages":"245-252"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75408434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its dielectric properties, however, appeared to be very sensitive to the processing conditions. In our recent experiments on the processing of CCTOs, we observed the frequent occurrence of microstructure with a bimodal grain size distribution and a correlation between dielectric constant and the percentage of large grains in bimodal CCTOs. In this study, we assumed that CCTO ceramics are barrier layer capacitors and proposed an analytical model to describe the dielectric behavior of CCTOs with a bimodal grain size distribution. More importantly, both the insulating layer and the conductive core were included in the model to describe the complex permittivity and hence relaxation in bimodal CCTOs.","PeriodicalId":83360,"journal":{"name":"Transactions (English Ceramic Circle)","volume":"3 1","pages":"165-172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75622535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has the advantage to combine monolithic ceramic with a higher tolerance of damage and lower specific stress. Characteristically states of defects already arise during the production process, such as crack pattern, fable fibres / matrix bond, delamination and high porosity. Some of the defects are favoured in view of the damage tolerance necessary for the technical use, but make it difficult to evaluate the damage condition. The main advantage of carbon fibre reinforced silicon carbide (C/C-SiC) is the damage tolerant mechanical behaviour compared to monolithic ceramics. Fracture mechanics test were carried out on chevron notched bend specimens. The present study is aimed to qualitatively examine the damage surface of C/C-SiC composites by the use of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with the change of impact load. For quality assurance reasons the development of micro crack pattern under different loading conditions was investigated. Low and high impact tests were performed on C/C-SiC composites before and after the conditioning at 1600°C temperature.","PeriodicalId":83360,"journal":{"name":"Transactions (English Ceramic Circle)","volume":"9 1","pages":"181-187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73037538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The feasibility of efficiently recovering Pd was demonstrated through a series of tests based on the use of a simple additive followed by thermal processing and mechanical separation. More specifically, 10 mole borax (Na 2 B 4 O 7 • 10H 2 O) was added to deuterium-cycled Pd/K material on a 1:1 mass basis and heated at 1575°C for 4 hours. The diatomaceous earth reacts with the borax to produce a borosilicate glass product. At temperature, the Pd melts and coalesces to form an ingot which settles to the bottom of the crucible due to density differences. After cooling, the glass can be mechanically fractured and the Pd ingot separated and recovered. Based on the initial weight of Pd/K material used, the weights of the recovered Pd ingots, and assuming the Pd/K was 40 - 50% Pd by weight, it was estimated that approximately 95 - 99% of the Pd was recovered. The recovered Pd was determined to be substantially free of deuterium after isotopic exchange with high purity protium meeting programmatic objectives.","PeriodicalId":83360,"journal":{"name":"Transactions (English Ceramic Circle)","volume":"37 1","pages":"25-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78700286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
