A New Hybrid EDTA–Zirconium Phosphate Cation-Exchanger: Synthesis, Characterization and Adsorption Behaviour for Environmental Monitoring by S.A. Nabi, Mu. Naushad, Rani Bushra

“…EDTA–zirconium phosphate has been synthesized as a new amorphous hybrid cation-exchanger by the combination of the inorganic ion-exchanger zirconium phosphate and EDTA, thereby providing a new class of organic–inorganic hybrid ion-exchanger with better mechanical and granular properties, a good ion-exchange capacity (2.40 mequiv/g dry exchanger for Na + ), good reproducibility, and a higher stability and selectivity towards heavy metal ions. It has been characterized using FT-IR, TGA/DTA, X-ray and SEM methods, in addition to ion-exchange studies such as the determination of its ion-exchange capacity, elution and distribution behaviour, to provide a better understanding of the ion-exchange behaviour of the material. …”

Laboratory-based x-ray phase contrast microscopy system for targeting in unstained soft-tissue samples by Michela Esposito, Nicole Schieber, Alessandro Olivo, Yannick Schwab, Marco Endrizzi

“…We propose an imaging system and methodology for mapping soft-tissue samples in three dimensions, with micron-scale and isotropic spatial resolution, with low-concentrations as well as in the absence of heavy metal staining. We used hard x-ray phase-contrast imaging for the x-ray ability to nondestructively probe the internal structure of opaque specimens and for enhanced contrast obtained by exploiting phase effects, even in cases with reduced or absent staining agents. …”

Control of the Gas Flow in an Industrial Directional Solidification Furnace for Production of High Purity Multicrystalline Silicon Ingots by Lijun Liu, Xiaofang Qi, Wencheng Ma, Zaoyang Li, Yunfeng Zhang

“…It was found that the cover design has little effect on the O concentration in the silicon melt; however, it significantly influences CO gas transport in the furnace chamber and C contamination in the melt. For covers made of metal or with a coating on their surfaces, an optimal cover design can produce a silicon melt free of C contamination. …”
