Two processes applying green solvents for recovering rare earth elements (REEs) from different types of aluminate phosphors are demonstrated in this report. For magnesium aluminate-type phosphors, a pretreatment with peroxide calcination was implemented first, and then followed by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) process. Supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) provides an effective medium ex...

Oxide layers on Mg97Y2Zn1 magnesium alloy with strengthening LPSO-phase were formed by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in bipolar mode frequency variation of forming current pulses (50 and 500 Hz) addition sodium aluminate or silicate to alkali phosphate fluoride electrolyte. Microstructure, chemical phase composition, corrosion mechanical properties the oxide investigated. With increasing ...

Recently the successful formation of PEO coatings on zinc in a phosphate aluminate electrolyte was shown. The produced composite contain various mixtures ZnO and ZnAl$_2$O$_4$. In frame current study, properties formed including adhesion/cohesion, wear, corrosion photocatalytic activity were analysed to identify possible applications. However, show internal porosity sponge-like structure. Thus ...

Spinel magnesium Cobaltite (MgCo2O4) nanoparticles with a crystalline size in the range of ∼16 nm were prepared by a simple co-precipitation technique with NaOH as a precipitant. The formation of spinel MgCo2O4 phase was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed that aggregated nanoplates. The elect...

Component concentration of sodium aluminate solution is an important quality index for alumina production. In this article, we propose a new on-line soft sensing strategy for measuring component concentration of sodium aluminate solution. With this method, on-line control can be realised in aluminate production plants. Several advance techniques are used, such as principal component analysis (P...

Temperature- and humidity-sensing properties were evaluated of NixMg1-x spinel ferrites (0 ≤ x 1) synthesized by a sol-gel combustion method using citric acid as fuel nitrate ions oxidizing agents. After the exothermic reaction, amorphous powders calcined at 700 °C followed characterization with XRD, FTIR, XPS, EDS Raman spectroscopy FESEM microscopy. Synthesized tested humidity- temperature-se...
