Abstract
This study utilizes spodumene smelting slag as the primary raw material for the preparation of lithium aluminosilicate glass-ceramics (LAS), addressing issues related to sustainable waste management. In this study, up to 50 wt % of spodumene smelting slag was incorporated into the material, resulting in LAS glass-ceramics with outstanding crystallinity. The maximum transmittance at 550 nm exceeds 88.25 %, while the Vickers hardness reaches approximately 7.27 GPa. Additionally, the influence of Nb2O5 substitution for ZrO2 on the crystallization behavior of LAS glass-ceramics was investigated. The results indicate that replacing ZrO2 with Nb2O5 effectively suppresses grain growth and promotes grain refinement. The resulting fine-grained glass-ceramics exhibit enhanced transparency and Vickers hardness.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
