Advancing in Cesium Retention: Application of Magnesium Phosphate Cement Composites.

A serious risk that harms the safe use of water and affects aquatic ecosystems is water pollution. This occurs when the water's natural equilibrium is disrupted by an excessive amount of substances, both naturally occurring and as a byproduct of human activities, that have varied degrees of toxicity. Radiation from Cs isotopes, which are common components of radioactive waste and are known for their long half-lives (30 years), which are longer than the natural decay processes, is a major source of contamination.

Properties of High-Entropy FeCoNiMnAl Alloy Produced by High-Energy Ball Milling.

A high-entropy FeCoNiMnAl (at%) alloy with a face-centered cubic (FCC) crystalline phase was produced through mechanical alloying. This study examined the development of its phases, microstructure, morphology, and magnetic characteristics. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was applied to assess the sample morphology in relation to milling times.

Microstructure and Magnetic Properties of Nanocrystalline FeCoNiSi Alloy Elaborated by High-Energy Mechanical Milling.

In the present work, the effect of Si addition on the magnetic properties of FeCoNiSi (x = 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 at%) alloys prepared by mechanical alloying was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and magnetic vibrating sample magnetometry and SQUID. The crystallographic parameters of the bcc-solid solutions were calculated by Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction patterns with Maud software. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to determine the morphology of the powdered alloys as a function of milling time.
