Two parameters were studied upon the thermoluminescence (TL) properties and the sintering behaviour of a-alumina: the atmosphere during the heat treatment used to transform gamma -Al2O3 into alpha -Al2O3 and the doping by Zr and Th. It appears that a reducing atmosphere tends to delay the sintering compared with the oxidising atmosphere until...

Two parameters were studied upon the thermoluminescence (TL) properties and the sintering behaviour of α-alumina: the atmosphere during the heat treatment used to transform γ-Al2O3 into α-Al2O3 and the doping by Zr and Th. It appears that a reducing atmosphere tends to delay the sintering compared with the oxidising atmosphere until 1600°C....

Experiments were performed at lab scale in order to test the possibility to grow microalgae with CO2 from gaseous effluent of cement industry. Four microalgal species (Dunaliella tertiolecta, Chlorella vulgaris, Thalassiosira weissflogii, and Isochrysis galbana), representing four different phyla were grown with CO2 enriched air or with a...

The thermoluminescence (TL) after excitation by UV or X-rays radiation of doped a-alumina powders is investigated. In the case of zirconia, the alumina-zirconia composites present five of the characteristic peaks of zirconia at -170, -145, -90, 0 and 95°C. After a thermal treatment of mixed oxides, a new peak is observed at -35°C in TL. This...
