Crystal structures of Sr3B(2 + x)Si(1 - x)O(8 - x/2) solid solutions with nominal compositions x = 0.28, 0.53, 0.78 in the Sr3B2SiO8-Sr2B2O5 section of the SrO-B2O3-SiO2 system are refined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Incommensurate structure modulations are mainly associated with various orientations of corner-sharing (B,Si)-polyhedra. Preference is given to the (3 + 2)-dimensional symmetry group Pnma(0βγ)000(0βγ)000 for a single crystal compared with an alternate model of a twin formed by monoclinic components, each of them corresponding to the (3 + 1)-dimensional symmetry group P2(1)/n(0βγ). Single-phase polycrystalline samples of solid solutions are investigated by high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction in air. Orientation preferences of the BO3 units lead to a strong anisotropy of thermal expansion. Negative expansion is observed along the a axis over the temperature range 303-753 K. Anisotropy decreases both on heating and decreasing of the boron content.

Advances on jarosite residue detoxification and reutilization: a review.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Solid Waste Treatment and Resource Recycle (SWUST), Ministry of Education, Southwest University of Science and Technology, 59 Qinglong Road, Mianyang, 621010, China.

Jarosite residues are typical hazardous waste byproducts generated during the iron removal process in hydrometallurgical solutions. The jarosite process is widely used for iron removal in zinc hydrometallurgy; jarosite disposal has become a significant barrier to sustainable development in the industry. During this process, jarosite residues entrain and co-precipitate with heavy metals, which are hazardous but valuable.

New hybrids were synthesised by linking carboranes and siloles, both of which are known as aggregation-induced emission active units. Although most of the newly synthesised systems do not display notable quantum yield either in solution or in the aggregated state, they emit strongly in the solid-state, and a quantum yield of up to 100% can be achieved. The tailorable quantum yield can be attributed to the packing of the molecules in the crystal lattice ruled by the carborane and phenyl moieties according to the SC-XRD data.

Thermal Analysis of Electromagnetic Induction Heating for Cylinder-Shaped Objects.

Electrophoresis

January 2025

School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington, USA.

Induction heating is one of the cleanest and most efficient methods for heating materials, utilizing electromagnetic fields induced through AC electric current. This article reports an analytical solution for transient heat transfer in a three-dimensional (3D) cylindrical object under induction heating. A simplified form of Maxwell's equations is solved to determine the heat generation inside the cylinder by calculating the current density distribution within the body.
