In this study the following commercial products were thermo-analysed (TG, DTG, DTA): reabsorbable Dac Blu, non reabsorbable Dac Blu, non reabsorbable atomized Dac Blu, non reabsorbable thin Dac Blu, reabsorbable Biocoral 450, non reabsorbable thin Dac Blu, reabsorbable Biocoral 450, Calcitite 2040-12, Orthogel, Apagen, BTF 65, Calcitite 4060-2, Osprogel, Bio-Oss, Biostite, Osprovit, Merck Hydroxiapatite. The apparatus utilized was a Setaram TAG 24, in a symmetrical set up, which gave the TG, DTG and DTA analysis simultaneously. The analysis of all the materials were performed in correct operative conditions. The thermo analyses gave useful information about the thermal stability of the samples. The TG analysis gave the data relative to the percentage of weight loss due to the volatile substances in the samples (H2Oass C, OH-, CO2). The DTG graph made it possible to establish the presence of carbonate apatite and/or hydroxyapatite or the absence of both the substances. Finally, DTA and DTG analyses allowed show the presence of various organic substances. These data were very useful to characterize the examined materials and confirmed the extreme importance and sensibility of this method.

Nowadays, fractured teeth are difficult to treat effectively. Currently, root fractures are usually treated by root amputation, hemisection or tooth extraction. If the fusion of tooth fracture by laser were possible, it would offer a different therapy to repair fracture teeth. We tried to use a developed DP-bioactive glass paste to fuse or bridge the tooth crack line by a medium energy continuous-wave CO2 laser. The study is divided into three parts: (1) The compositional and structure changes in tooth enamel and dentin after laser treatment; (2) The phase transformation and recrystallization of DP-bioactive paste during exposure to the CO2 laser; (3) The thermal interactions and bridge mechanism between DP-bioactive glass paste and enamel/dentin when they are subjected to CO2 laser. The present report will focus on the second part that will examine the changes of laser-exposed DP-bioactive glass paste by means of X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transforming infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetric analysis (DTA/TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). From the study, we could find that the temperature increase due to laser irradiation is greater than 900 degrees C and that the DP-bioactive glass paste could be melted in a short period of time after irradiation. In the study, we successfully developed a DP-bioactive glass paste which could form a melting glass within seconds after exposure to a medium energy density continuous-wave CO2 laser. The paste will be used in the near future to bridge the enamel or dentin surface crack by the continuous-wave CO2 laser.

Fractured teeth are difficult to treat effectively. Currently, such as root fractures are usually treated by full-coverage restoration, root amputation, or tooth extraction. If the fusion of tooth fracture by laser were possible, it could offer a different therapy to repair fracture teeth. We tried to use a developed DP-bioactive glass paste to fuse or bridge the tooth crack line by a medium energy continuous-wave CO2 laser. The present report was focused on the phase transformation and rescrystallization of DP-bioactive paste during expose to the CO2 laser. The materials will examine by means of XRD, FTIR, DTA/TGA, and SEM. From the study, we could expect that the temperature increase due to laser irradiation must be over than 900 degrees C and the DP-bioactive glass paste could be melted in a short period of time after irradiation. In the study, we successfully developed a DP-bioactive glass paste which could form a melting glass within minutes after exposed to a medium energy density continuous-wave CO2 laser. The paste will be used to bridge the enamel or dentine surface crack by the continuous-wave CO2 laser in the near future.

Acute trauma or trauma associated with occlusal disturbance can produce tooth crack or fracture. Although several methods are proposed to treat the defect, however, the prognosis is generally poor. If the fusion of a tooth fracture by laser is possible, it will offer an alternative to extraction or at least serve as an adjunctive treatment in the reconstruction. We have tried to use a continuous-wave CO2 laser and a newly developed DP-bioactive glass paste (DPGP) to fuse or bridge tooth crack or fracture lines. Both the DP-bioactive glass paste and tooth enamel have strong absorption bands at the wavelength of 10.6 microm. Therefore, under CO2 laser, DPGP and enamel should have an effective absorption and melt together. The interface between DPGP and enamel could be regarded as a mixture of DPGP and enamel (DPG-E). The study focused on the phase transformation, microstructure, functional group and thermal behavior of DPG-E with or without CO2 laser irradiation, by the analytical techniques of XRD, FTIR, DTA/TGA, and SEM. The results of XRD showed that the main crystal phase in the DPG-E was dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (CaHPO4.2H2O). It changed into CaHPO4, gamma-Ca2P2O7, beta-Ca2P2O7 and finally alpha-Ca2P2O7 with increasing temperature. In the FTIR analysis, the 720 cm(-1) absorption band ascribed to the P-O-P linkage in pyrophosphate rose up and the intensities of the OH- bands reduced after laser irradiation. In regard to the results of DTA/TGA after irradiation, the weight loss decreased due to the removal of part of absorption water and crystallization water by the CO2 laser. SEM micrographs revealed that the melted masses and the plate-like crystals formed a tight chemical bond between the enamel and DPGP. We expect that DPGP with the help of CO2 laser can be an alternative to the treatment of tooth crack or fracture.

Galvanic sludge is classified as a hazardous waste and incineration is one of the techniques used for its treatment. The aim of this work is to study the thermal behavior of a galvanic sludge which contains only chromium as a restriction metal. Simultaneous DTA/TG coupled with mass spectrometer tests were performed to characterize the thermal behavior of the sludge. Besides thermal analysis, sludge samples were heated in a specially designed furnace and these samples were submitted to X-ray diffraction. Vapor from the heated sludge was condensed and the particles were analyzed by EDS microprobe coupled in a scanning electron microscope. The slag formed after the calcination of the galvanic sludge was mainly composed of a mixture of calcium phosphate and fluoride. and minor concentrations of metals. A total weight loss of 34% was observed. The greatest part of this weight loss corresponds to CO2, H2O and SO2. H2O is liberated in the temperature range of 500-1,250 degrees C. CO2 in the range of 500-750 degrees C and SO2 near 1,000 degrees C. Chromium evaporation was not observed in relevant quantities, about 99.6% of the Cr remained incorporated in the slag.

Trichloroethylene (TCE) decomposition over a MnOx/ gamma-Al2O3 catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor was conducted in this study. The MnOx/gamma-Al2O3 powders were prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation method with aqueous solution of manganese nitrate. The catalysts were characterized by DTA-TGA, XRD, porosity analysis, SEM, EDX, and XPS. The results show that the main distinct weight loss is found at the temperature around 373 and 873 K,the MnO peaks (2theta = 34.9 degrees and 40.5 degrees) are only observed crystal phase on the fresh catalyst, the SEM image of the MnOx-impregnated gamma-Al2O3 support is much different from the calcined catalyst, and the Mn element quantity on the catalyst surface is higher than that of the impregnated support. The products and reactants distributions from the oxidation of TCE over MnOx/gamma-Al2O3 were analyzed by GC. The results show that the TCE conversion starts from 5% at 443 K and rises to very high values in the 673-873 K ranges and that the CO2 yield also pushes to 99% at the same temperature ranges. HCl and Cl2 are the other main products with little halogenated VOC intermediates.

Mercuric-5-nitrotetrazole (MNT) was synthesized on using a reported method. The product having bulk density of 1.5 g/cm3, was obtained during this work using mercuric nitrate doped with additives such as cephol/dextrin in the process. Synthesized MNT was characterized by metal content analysis, IR and ESCA. The DTA profile indicated the thermal stability of MNT up to 200 degrees C. It revealed its higher thermally sensitive [thermal sensitive figure (S) approximately 0.8] in comparison to that of service lead azide (SLA) [S approximately 0.4]. Percussion sensitivity data also showed higher sensitivity of MNT. However, it was found less friction sensitive than SLA. The chemical stability of MNT in a carbon dioxide environment was evaluated in comparison to SLA by determining mercury (gravimetrically) and lead azide (volumetrically) contents respectively. Results obtained indicated that no discernable changes occurred in MNT, even after storage for 90 days while in case of SLA, drastic change in lead azide content was observed. IR spectra of MNT sample stored in a closed aluminum dish for 5-10 years could be superimposed on that of the freshly prepared MNT sample. The performance of MNT filled detonator no. 27 assessed in terms of extent of damage on a witness plate was found equivalent to that of the standard ASA (azide, styphynate and aluminium) composition filled detonator.

As compared with other candidate carbon sequestration technologies, mineral carbonation offers the unique advantage of permanent disposal via geologically stable and environmentally benign carbonates. The primary challenge is the development of an economically viable process. Enhancing feedstock carbonation reactivity is key. Heat activation dramatically enhances aqueous serpentine carbonation reactivity. Although the present process is too expensive to implement, the materials characteristics and mechanisms that enhance carbonation are of keen interest for further reducing cost. Simultaneous thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA) of the serpentine mineral lizardite was used to isolate a series of heat-activated materials as a function of residual hydroxide content at progressively higher temperatures. Their structure and composition are evaluated via TGA/DTA, X-ray powder diffraction (including phase analysis), and infrared analysis. The meta-serpentine materials that were observed to form ranged from those with longer range ordering, consistent with diffuse stage-2 like interlamellar order, to an amorphous component that preferentially forms at higher temperatures. The aqueous carbonation reaction process was investigated for representative materials via in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Magnesite was observed to form directly at 15 MPa CO2 and at temperatures ranging from 100 to 125 degrees C. Carbonation reactivity is generally correlated with the extent of meta-serpentine formation and structural disorder.

To recycle calcium carbide residue effectively, calcium carbide of different crystal form, including global aragonite, calcite and acicular calcium carbide was synthesized. Both the influence of pretreatment in the purity of calcium carbide, and the influence of temperatures of carbonization reaction, release velocity of carbon dioxide in the apparition of calcium carbide of different crystal form were studied with DTA-TG and SEM. The result shows that calcium carbide residue can take place chemistry reaction with ammonia chlorinate straight. Under the condition that pH was above 7, the purity of calcium carbide was above 97%, and the whiteness was above 98. Once provided the different temperatures of carbonization reaction and the proper release velocity of carbon dioxide, global aragonite, calcite and acicular calcium carbide were obtained.

The hydration of tricalcium silicate (C(3)S) in the presence of heavy metal is very important to cement-based solidification/stabilisation (s/s) of waste. In this work, tricalcium silicate pastes and aqueous suspensions doped with nitrate salts of Zn(2+), Pb(2+), Cu(2+) and Cr(3+) were examined at different ages by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (DTA/TG) and (29)Si solid-state magic angle spinning/nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS/NMR). It was found that heavy metal doping accelerated C(3)S hydration, even though Zn(2+) doping exhibited a severe retardation effect at an early period of time of C(3)S hydration. Heavy metals retarded the precipitation of portlandite due to the reduction of pH resulted from the hydrolysis of heavy metal ions during C(3)S hydration. The contents of portlandite in the control, Cr(3+)-doped, Cu(2+)-doped, Pb(2+)-doped and Zn(2+)-doped C(3)S pastes aged 28 days were 16.7, 5.5, 5.5, 5.5, and <0.7%, respectively. Heavy metals co-precipitated with calcium as double hydroxides such as (Ca(2)Cr(OH)(7).3H(2)O, Ca(2)(OH)(4)4Cu(OH)(2).2H(2)O and CaZn(2)(OH)(6).2H(2)O). These compounds were identified as crystalline phases in heavy metal doping C(3)S suspensions and amorphous phases in heavy metal doping C(3)S pastes. (29)Si NMR data confirmed that heavy metals promoted the polymerisation of C-S-H gel in 1-year-old of C(3)S pastes. The average numbers of Si in C-S-H gel for the Zn(2+)-doped, Cu(2+)-doped, Cr(3+)-doped, control, and Pb(2+)-doped C(3)S pastes were 5.86, 5.11, 3.66, 3.62, and 3.52. And the corresponding Ca/Si ratios were 1.36, 1.41, 1.56, 1.57 and 1.56, respectively. This study also revealed that the presence of heavy metal facilitated the formation of calcium carbonate during C(3)S hydration process in the presence of carbon dioxide.
