A physicochemical characterization was performed on a pennate-type diatomite of lacustrine origin from the southern region of Peru. Diatomite treatments were conducted with the goal of applying this material in adsorption of cadmium, various physical and chemical modifications were carried out, including thermal treatment and modifications with hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and sodium hydroxide. A composite with cellulose and sulfuric acid was also prepared, and finally, a chelating agent EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) was added. The thermal modifications showed weakly bound hydroxyl groups on the surface, originating from adsorbed water, as well as strongly bound hydroxyl groups from silanol group, as observed in FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) studies. Higher adsorption capacity of cadmium values were obtained in samples modified with 0.5 M NaOH post thermal modification at 700 °C. SEM analysis showed a uniform distribution of cadmium on the diatomite surface. However, modifications with cellulose and sulfuric acid, as well as EDTA, did not significantly increase cadmium adsorption.
对秘鲁南部地区湖相原生的戊酸盐型硅藻土进行了理化表征。对硅藻土进行了处理,目的是将该材料用于吸附镉,并进行了各种物理和化学改性,包括热处理和盐酸、硫酸和氢氧化钠改性。还制备了纤维素与硫酸的复合材料,最后加入螯合剂EDTA(乙二胺四乙酸)。在FTIR(傅里叶变换红外光谱)研究中发现,热修饰表明,表面上有来自吸附水的弱结合羟基,以及来自硅醇基的强结合羟基。在700℃热改性后,用0.5 M NaOH改性的样品获得了较高的镉吸附量。扫描电镜分析表明,镉在硅藻土表面分布均匀。然而,纤维素和硫酸以及EDTA的改性并没有显著增加镉的吸附。

AZ31 magnesium alloy is one of the lightweight metallic engineering materials that are widely used in many industrial areas such as aviation, space, automobile and electronics industries, biomedical applications, where structural weight reduction is at the forefront of design principles. This study focuses on the growth of MgO and MgO:B5H10NaO13 doped oxide coatings on the surface of AZ31 magnesium alloy by micro arc oxidation (MAO) method in order to improve its usage areas and lifetime in industrial applications, and to investigate the structural, morphological, adhesion and corrosion properties of the grown coatings. In the study, MgO coatings were grown by MAO method and MgO:B5H10NaO13 doped composite oxide coatings were grown by adding sodium pentaborate (B5H10NaO13) nanoparticles into the electrolytic solution in MAO method. The phase structure of the grown coatings was determined by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), microstructure by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and chemical composition by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). The hardness of MgO and MgO:B5H10NaO13 doped composite oxide coatings were determined by microhardness tester, the adhesion resistance with the base material was determined by Scratch Tester and the corrosion resistance was determined by potentiodynamic polarization tester. As a result, it was observed that dense and homogeneous coatings were grown on the surfaces of particle-added (MgO:B5H10NaO13) coatings, that porosity and pore sizes on the surfaces of the coatings were reduced, that microcracks were reduced, and that coatings with high bond strength with the base material were grown. It was also determined that the corrosion resistance of the coatings with particle addition (MgO:B5H10NaO13) was higher than the corrosion resistance of the coatings without particle addition (MgO).

A simple, fast and energy efficient microwave-assisted hydrothermal method was developed for the preparation of nanocrystalline zirconia from commercially available ZrOCl2·8H2O and KOH. The synthesis was conducted at 180 °C for 20 min by two ways: direct decomposition of ZrOCl2·8H2O (sample Z), and precipitation of ZrOCl2·8H2O with KOH and dehydration of hydroxides (sample ZK). The as-synthesized powders were calcined at 500 °C, and all the resulting products were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, HR-TEM and SAED. Both the as-synthesized and calcined nanoparticles were highly crystalline. A single monoclinic phase was obtained for sample Z, while for sample ZK a tetragonal phase was achieved as the main phase with a minor fraction of monoclinic. The particles of the as-synthesized sample Z showed irregular and semi-hexagonal shapes, although they changed to spherical or ellipsoidal shapes during heat treatment. The particles of the sample ZK, both as-synthesized and calcined, exhibited nearly spherical or ellipsoidal shapes. The average crystallite size for the as-synthesized samples Z and ZK were 3.2 ± 0.8 and 5.5 ± 0.9 nm, respectively, while for the calcined ones the values were 8.5 ± 1.2 and 7.6 ± 1.2 nm, respectively.

This work aims to study the interaction of sintered yttria-stabilized zirconia (7YSZ) ceramic under a volcanic ash mix at an engine representative temperature of 1350 °C. In this work, two different locations – distance from Mexico Popocatépetl Volcano were chosen to collect the ashes, and to perform their melting process with variable chemical composition. Afterward, each ash was deposited on the surface of 7YSZ ceramic coupons, then they were exposed at heating and cooling cycles at designed temperature equal to 1350 °C. After 8 cycles of thermal treatment testing of 8 h, the morphology and microstructure analysis of the 7YSZ coupons was carried out using microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis techniques. The results showed that a molten ash layer, with smooth morphology of size of 60 μm of thick, was formed on the ceramic surface. Based on the observed degradation, the general status of the coupons after 8 cycles of thermal test, presented failure by growth of large cracks which were associated to the infiltration of melted ash through the thickness of ceramic coupon. This melted ash infiltrated trough the fine grain microstructure, promoted the development of a compose rich in silica, which is brittle and therefore promoted cracks initiation with subsequent propagation in the substrate.

Studies of ceramics and glass from an archaeometric perspective have considerably increased during the last few decades in Ceramic Science and Technology journals. This paper presents a bibliometric study undertaken on 147 archaeometric articles published between 2000 and 2023 in the Q1 high impact journals Boletín de la Sociedad Española de Cerámica y Vidrio (BSECV), Journal of the European Ceramic Society (JECerS) and Journal of the American Ceramic Society (JACerS). The study was carried out with the aim at determining the impact and evolution of Archaeometry in these journals, the characteristics of the materials studied, and the level of interdisciplinarity and interinstitutional collaboration in the archaeometric works published. The main parameters analyzed were: number of archaeometric publications, materials studied, authors, and institutions. Resulting data indicated that journals have experienced an increase in archaeometric works on historical and archeological ceramics and glass, and BSECV is the journal with the highest representation. Spanish universities and other public institutions have a very outstanding representation in all three journals. In recent years, archaeometric approaches have included more authors and institutions from different countries, which evidences a high level of interdisciplinarity and interinstitutional collaboration.

This study compares two different scaffolds (dicalcium silicate – Ca2SiO4 – core covered with a glass of composition Ca2P6O17 doped with lithium and with strontium) loaded with metronidazole alone and with metronidazole combined with ozone. Complexes metronidazole-2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrins (HP-β-CDs) were used to increase the solubility and availability of metronidazole. The concentration of metronidazole used was 40.8 mg/mL (58.4 mM), with a molar ratio of 1:1 and 1.5 mL of ozone oil were added to the different scaffolds. The disk diffusion method against the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus and the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli showed microbial inhibition but not statistically significant (p > 0.05) halo inhibition produced by metronidazole alone and that produced by metronidazole combined with ozone.
This research is expected to have strong social impact directly affecting the quality of life of those affected by osteonecrosis as these nanostructures anchored to structures with a porous 3D-core could facilitate bone regeneration promoted by cell adhesion, vascularization and nutrients supply.

Compacted soil walls provide environmental benefits due to their low impact and embodied energy. Although their mechanical strength is lower than other materials, they meet safety requirements. Current trends promote circular economy solutions, such as waste reuse. This study assesses recycled glass in lime- and cement-stabilized rammed earth as a replacement for natural sand to enhance waste management and soil properties. Ultrasonic inspection confirms increased compressive strength and density, especially in cement-stabilized mixtures. Statistical analysis reveals a direct correlation between crushed glass content and improved properties. The optimal replacement rate is 75% for lime and 100% for cement. The superior performance in cement-stabilized samples is due to a pozzolanic reaction absent in lime mixtures. Both binders show significant reductions in thermal conductivity, improving energy efficiency without compromising structural integrity. Ultrasound proves reliable for predicting compressive strength and stiffness, supporting the viability of this approach. The incorporation of recycled glass in compacted soil offers a sustainable construction alternative, balancing environmental benefits with enhanced mechanical and thermal performance.

A ventilated facade can be understood as a cladding system fixed to the external wall of the building using mechanical anchor points. The ventilated facade, in addition to its aesthetic effect, improves the thermal (thermal comfort), acoustic and energy efficiency performance of the building. The ventilated facade (or facade) system (VFS) is a construction alternative using non-adhered industrialised elements. Its use has increased substantially in recent years and it has been chosen by architects as a suitable solution for retrofitting existing buildings and for buildings to be built. It is an envelope solution that is suitable for a variety of building types, climates and design configurations. The influence of VFS on the thermal, energy and acoustic performance of buildings is a current topic of research and can be characterised as a sustainable solution in the construction industry. The aim of this article is to present the state of the art of current literature on the application of VFS technologies, in terms of thermal, energy and acoustic analysis, the performance of different coatings applied, fixing systems and the advantages and disadvantages of the system, in order to provide guidelines for future studies and projects.

Environmentally friendly (Ba,Ca)(Zr,Ti)O3 ceramics (BCZT) are being investigated as a viable alternative to the leading commercially used lead titanate–zirconate ceramics. These ferro-piezoelectric ceramics exhibit fascinating properties for a range of applications, dependent on several multiscale characteristics, including composition, crystal structure, domain structure, ceramic microstructure and bulk issues. To provide reproducible quality, a thorough grasp of processing control is essential. This review begins with a historical overview of BCZT ceramic development, followed by a phase diagram examination. The morphotropic phase boundary is explored, detailing the intrinsic and extrinsic contributions to the system's piezoelectricity, as well as the critical aspects to consider while processing. The factors to contemplate for an industrially scalable solid state processing pathway are reviewed, with a focus on mechanical activation. Additionally, the milling processes utilized for BCZT synthesis and sintering, as well as water-based sustainable processing, are analysed. The assessment concludes with the promise of emerging uses in biotechnology for medical purposes.
