A femto-second pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) procedure for the generation of titanium oxide nanoparticles (NP) is reported with the purpose of understanding morphology and structure of the newly generated NPs. Ablation duration was varied for optimization of NP generation processes between 10 and 90 min. Surface morphology of NPs as well as their size and shape (distribution) were analysed by various complementary electron microscopy techniques, i.e. SEM, TSEM and TEM. The crystalline structure of titanium oxide particles was investigated by XRD(two instruments operated in different geometries) and HR-TEM. Concentration of generated titanium oxide NPs in liquid was analysed by ICP-MS. A mix of crystalline (mainly anatase), partly crystalline and amorphous spherical titanium oxide NPs can be reported having a mean size between 10 and 20 nm, which is rather independent of the laser ablation (LA) duration. A second component consisting of irregularly shaped, but crystalline titanium oxide nanostructures is co-generated in the LA water, with more pronounced occurrence at longer LA times. The provenance of this component is assigned to those spherical particles generated in suspension and passing through the converging laser beam, being hence subject to secondary irradiation effects, e. g. fragmentation.
A set of 59 ancient magical artefacts, mainly made of lead, was selected from the collections of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin in order to unravel their origins. All the selected artefacts have been studied for their Pb isotope compositions, which covered the whole range of the Mediterranean ore deposits. However, the majority (≈86%) were made of lead matching the small compositional range of the Laurion ore deposits. Only eight out of the 59 artefacts were made of recycled lead or lead from other ore deposits.
Additionally, all but two were approximately dated based on their inscriptions. The lead isotopic composition together with information obtained from the inscriptions, the resulting dating, the context of the find and the known history of each item allowed us to gain more detailed information about the origins of these magical artefacts. The Attic provenance of 36 curse tablets was confirmed, whereas for 11 curse tablets previously classified as non-Attic, the provenance was either confirmed and specified (six artefacts) or changed to Attic (five artefacts). Surprisingly, the majority (six out of eight) of the analysed curse tablets from the Egyptian collection showed a lead isotopic composition closely matching that of Laurion.
A Laurion-like lead isotopic composition was also observed for three of the four analysed oracular tablets from Dodona. Together with the dating information, this points to Laurion as the major and dominant lead source in the Aegean, at least during the fourth–third century B.C. The few curse tablets from earlier than the fourth–third century B.C. point to the use of multiple and thus isotopically more variable lead sources compared with the Roman times.
Morphology and structure of TixOy nanoparticles generated by femtosecond laser ablation in water
(2018)
In this work femto-second pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) procedure for the generation of titanium oxide nanoparticles (NP) is reported with the purpose of understanding morphology and structure of the newly generated NPs. Ablation duration was varied for optimization of NP generation processes between 10 and 90 min.

This paper reports the first successful synthesis and the structural characterization of nanocrystalline and stacking-disordered β-cristobalite AlPO4 that is chemically stabilized down to room temperature and free of crystalline impurity phases. Several batches of the title compound were synthesized and thoroughly characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping in SEM, solid-state 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-NMR) spectroscopy including the TRAPDOR method, differential thermal analysis (DTA), gas-sorption methods, optical Emission spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and ion chromatography. Parameters that are critical for the synthesis were identified and optimized. The synthesis procedure yields reproducible results and is well documented. A high-quality XRD pattern of the title compound is presented, which was collected with monochromatic copper radiation at room temperature in a wide 2θ range of 5°–100°.
X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns of the high-temperature (HT) cristobalite form of SiO2 and its isoelectronic AlPO4 analogue are essentially influenced by the dynamic disorder of these crystal structures. The nature of this disorder and of the phase transition between the α- and β-form has been the subject of intensive research during the last four decades [1]. By 1989 it became possible to stabilize the HT-form of cristobalite SiO2 at room temperature in laboratory and engineering ceramic industries by applying solid solution forming techniques [2]. However, for the HT-form of cristobalite AlPO4 nothing similar has been known until 2014 when it was discovered that nanocrystalline and stacking-disordered β-cristobalite AlPO4 is the major component of the fly ash of a large incineration facility operated by the waste water treatment authorities of Frankfurt/M. [3]. Previous comprehensive investigations of this fly ash failed to interpret its complex XRD pattern – presumably mainly due to the lack of a matching experimental digital pattern in the Powder Diffraction Database. The present paper reports on a synthesis route that facilitates the crystallization of nanocrystalline and stacking-disordered β-cristobalite AlPO4 that is free of crystalline impurity phases and long-term stable at ambient. Its room temperature XRD pattern is presented with parameters traced back to certified reference materials.

A model system was used to simulate the properties of tribofilms which form during automotive braking. The model system was prepared by ball milling of a blend of 70 vol.% iron oxides, 15 vol.% molybdenum disulfide and 15 vol.% graphite. The resulting mixture was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and various transmission electron microscopic (TEM) methods, including energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS), high resolution investigations (HRTEM) with corresponding simulation of the HRTEM images, diffraction methods such as scanning nano-beam electron diffraction (SNBED) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). It could be shown that the ball milling caused a reduction of the grain size of the initial components to the nanometer range. Sometimes even amorphization or partial break-down of the crystal structure was observed for MoS2 and graphite. Moreover, chemical reactions lead to a formation of surface coverings of the nanoparticles by amorphous material, molybdenum oxides, and iron sulfates as derived from XPS.
Die Herstellung hydrothermal erhärteter Granulate ist eine Möglichkeit zur Wiederverwertung von ziegelhaltigem Mauerwerkbruch, der derzeit aufgrund der heterogenen Zusammensetzung und hoher Feinanteile ein besonders hohes Verwertungsdefizit aufweist. Dabei ist die hydrothermale Erhärtung in einem Autoklav bei 200 °C und 1.6 MPa in gesättigter Wasserdampfatmosphäre eine Alternative mit geringerem Energieverbrauch im Vergleich zur thermischen Herstellung von Leichtgranulaten aus mineralischen Abfällen (Blähgranulate) oder Tonen und Schiefer (kommerzieller Blähton bzw. Blähschiefer), die bei Temperaturen von 1200-1300 °C im Drehrohrofen erfolgt.
Die Festigkeit der Hydrothermalgranulate entwickelt sich bei diesem Prozess durch die Ausbildung von Calciumsilicathydrat-Phasen (CSH), die durch die Reaktion zwischen Quarzpartikeln und hydratisiertem Kalk entstehen. Die so erzeugten Hydrothermalgranulate haben Rohdichten zwischen 1500 kg/m3 und 2000 kg/m3. Damit und auch durch andere Eigenschaften unterscheiden sie sich von den thermisch erhärteten Blähgranulaten bzw. Blähtonen. Ursache dafür ist letztendlich eine sehr unterschiedliche Gefüge- und Porenstruktur. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird hauptsächlich über die Ergebnisse der Mikrostrukturuntersuchungen an Hydrothermalgranulaten zusammen mit ihren technologischen Eigenschaften, wie Kornfestigkeit, Rohdichte und Wasseraufnahme, berichtet.
Mikrostrukturelle und mineralogische Eigenschaften leichter Gesteinskörnungen aus Mauerwerkbruch
(2015)
Poröse RC-Leichtgranulate mit Rohdichten zwischen 600 kg/m³ und 1400 kg/m³ können nach einem mehrstufigen mechanischen Prozess durch thermische Erhärtung bei 1180 °C aus ziegelhaitigern Mauerwerkbruch hergestellt werden. Diese Granulate erfüllen die Anforderungen an leichte Gesteinskörnungen nach DIN EN 13055 und es lassen sich damit Leichtbetone nach DIN EN 206-1/DIN 1045-2 herstellen. Ihre Festigkeits- und Dauerhaftigkeitseigenschatten sind mit denen herkömmlicher Leichtbetone mit Blähtonkörnungen sehr gut vergleichbar. Das ist das Fazit aus dem in den letzten Jahren durchgeführten Verbundforschungsvorhaben "Aufbaukörnungen". Um jedoch die Granulatentstehung bzw. den Vorgang der Porosierung besser verstehen, den Herstellungsprozess optimieren und die Eigenschaften der Granulate maßschneidern zu können, wurden zusätzlich zu den makroskopischen Charakteristika, wie beispielsweise Porosität und Wasseraufnahme, die chemisch-mineralogischen und mikrostrukturellen Eigenschaften der Leichtgranulate untersucht. Dazu dienten Analysen mittels ICP-Emissionsspektrometrie, Röntgenpulverdiffraktometrie, Quecksilberporosimetrie und mikroskopischen Verfahren. Im Beitrag wird über die Ergebnisse der Gefüge- und Porenstrukturuntersuchungen an Leichtgranulaten im Vergleich zu herkömmlichem Blähton berichtet.
Synthese hydraulischer Phasen in Papierasche und Braunkohlenflugasche durch hydrothermale Behandlung
(2015)
Reststoffe aus industriellen Filter- und Verbrennungsprozessen, die in ihren Hauptbestandteilen aus Si02- und CaO-reichen Mineralphasen bestehen, besitzen das Potential hydraulische Eigenschaften auszubilden. Das bedeutet, dass sie in Anwesenheit von Wasser oder alkalischen Lösungen festigkeitsbildende Phasen entwickeln. Oft bedarf es zunächst einer Aufbereitung um die hydraulischen Mineralphasen zu aktivieren. Hydraulische Phasen sind z.B. die Calciumsilikate Alit (C3S) und Belit (C2S). Sie unterscheiden sich vorrangig durch ihr Ca/Si-Verhältnis. Im Allgemeinen hydratisiert Belit langsamer als Alit und das Hydratationsprodukt weist nach 28 Tagen eine geringere Festigkeit auf. Zur Herstellung von Belit wird weniger Calciumoxid benötigt als zur Herstellung von Alit. Daher muss weniger CaC03 kalziniert werden und der C02-Ausstoß bei der Produktion verringert sich. Zur Synthese von hydraulisch aktivem Belit kann eine hydrothermale Aufbereitung dienen. Verschiedene Autoren nutzten diese Behandlung zur Aktivierung verschiedener Reststoffe, wobei sich CaO-reiche Asche aus der Energieerzeugung (z.B. Braunkohlenflugasche) als sehr geeignet erwies, Papierasche (PA) aus dem Papierrecyling besitzt ebenfalls einen hohen CaO-Gehalt und ist Bestandteil der aktuellen Bindemittelforschung auf Reststoffbasis. Die Untersuchung einer hydrothermalen Aktivierung fehlt bisher. Dieser Artikel soll einen Beitrag zur Klärung der folgenden Fragen leisten: Eignet sich Papierasche zur Belitsynthese durch hydrothermale Behandlung? Wie entwickeln sich die Mineralphasen im Vergleich zur Braunkohlenflugasche?
Stocks of high grade phosphate rock are becoming scarce, and there is growing concern about potentially harmful impurities in conventional phosphorus fertilizers. Sewage sludge ash is a promising secondary phosphorus source. However, to remove heavy metals and convert the phosphorus contained in sewage sludge ash into mineral phases available to plants, an after-treatment is required. Laboratory-scale calcination experiments of sewage sludge ash blended with sodium salts using dried sewage sludge as a reducing agent were carried out at 1000 °C. Thus, the Ca3(PO4)2 or whitlockite component of raw sewage sludge ash, which is not readily plant available, was converted to CaNaPO4 (buchwaldite). Consequently, nearly complete phosphorus solubility in ammonium citrate (a well-established indicator for plant availability) was achieved. Moreover, it was shown that Na2CO3 may be replaced by moderately priced Na2SO4. However, molar ratios of Na/P > 2 were required to achieve >80% phosphorus solubility. Such over-stoichiometric Na consumption is largely caused by side reactions with the SiO2 component of the sewage sludge ash – an explanation for which clear evidence is provided for the first time.
