This paper reports the current status of Mg melt protection in view to identify near-future challenges, but also opportunities, for Mg melt protection of Mg-Al based alloys. The goal is to design and manufacture sustainable Mg alloys for resource efficiency, recycling and minimising waste. Among alternative cover gas technologies for Mg melt protection other than SF6: commercially available tec...

Introduction: In recent years, the calcium-aluminum-rich inclusion (CAI) E60 from the Efremovka reduced CV3 chondrite has been used as an age anchor for the Al-Mg extinct chronome-ter (t 1/2 ~0.73 Ma) since an internal Al-Mg isochron corresponding to a 26 Al/ 27 Al ratio of (4.63±0.44)×10-5 has been determined for it [1] and a highly precise 207 Pb-206 Pb age of 4567.11±0.16 Ma has also been re...

In situ characterization of colloidal particles under hydrous conditions is one of the key requirements for understanding their state of aggregation and impact on the transport of pollutants in aqueous environments. Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) is one of the few techniques that can satisfy this need by providing element- and chemical-state-specific 2-D maps at a spatial resolut...

Abstract The adsorption process of the industrialized dye Isolan Dark Blue 2SGL-01 (IDB) onto (Mg-Zn)/(Al-Fe)-(CO 3 )/Cl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) coded LDH21 and LDH22 its calcined products CLDHs (CLDH21 CLDH22), respectively, was investigated. characterization LDHs before after loading with IDB by Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscope surface area measurements showed...
