Insights into the positive effects of power ultrasound on the pore solution of Portland cement pastes

Abstract: The influence of the direct application of power ultrasound (PUS) at several frequencies and power densities to Portland cement (PC) pastes is investigated in detail. Two PC pastes at water-to-cement ratios of 0.50 and 0.80 were studied. The composition of the pore solution and hydrates after introducing PUS irradiation for various periods were examined using ICP-OES, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. The results indicate for the first time that applied PUS used in this study, can disturb the early formation of ettringite whilst appreciably promoting the formation of amorphous aluminium hydroxide hydrate by considerably releasing the aluminium ions into the pore solution. Moreover, PUS can increase carbonates by intensifying the carbonation in the PC systems particularly the system with higher water content. The present research concludes that ultrasound could be a promising technique to enhance ternesite hydration in ternesite-rich belitic calcium sulphoaluminate cements.

Elastomeric diorganopolysiloxane paste vulcanizable at room temperature, and its use in podology or for dental impressions

Abstract: The paste contains: 1. - 3 vinyl diorganopolysiloxanes including one gum and two oils of differing viscosity, 2. - an organohydrogenopolysiloxane, 3. - a platinum-based catalyst, 4. - a filler chosen from alumina and aluminium hydroxide, 5. - a plasticiser.

Physicochemical and Catalytic Properties of Ni,H/ZSM-5 and Ni,H/ZSM-5–Binder Catalysts Prepared in the Absence and in the Presence of Binder

Abstract: Physicochemical and catalytic properties of H/ZSM-5 and Ni,H/ZSM-5 along with Ni,H/ZSM-5–Al2O3 (1 : 1) systems were examined. The systems with a binder were prepared by two different methods of mixing zeolite with aluminum hydroxide. The samples were characterized by N2 sorption (at 77 K), X-ray diffraction, 27Al magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia and adsorption of pyridine. Preparation of the zeolite catalyst with aluminium hydroxide was made by two methods: (1) mixing of powders and (2) combining appropriate pastes. Regardless of the method used for mixing there was no blocking of zeolite channels by aluminum oxide. The method of mixing zeolite with aluminium hydroxide powders promotes migration of aluminum from aluminum hydroxide/oxide to the zeolite framework. The results of n-hexane conversion showed that with Ni,H/ZSM-5 a slightly lower conversion than with H/ZSM-5 catalyst was observed that can be explained by a reduced yield of cracking products. Ni,H/ZSM-5–Al2O3 (1 : 1) catalytic systems were insignificantly less efficient in n-hexane transformation than alumina free samples but at the same time they were less selective towards hydrocarbons with boiling temperatures higher than this of n-hexane, precursors of carbonaceous deposits.

The production and properties of gel precipitated aluminium hydroxide spheres containing imipramine

Abstract: The production of aluminium hydroxide spheres containing imipramine by gel precipitation of liquid feed solutions has been described. Washing and heating procedures applied to the precipitated spheres markedly affected the rate of drug release from the spheres into 0.1M hydrochloric acid. Increasing the imipramine content of the spheres also altered the drug release rate. The effects described have been explained with reference to model theories of the precipitation and ageing of aluminium hydroxide gels in the presence and absence of 'foreign' anions.
