Abstract
The irreplaceability role of rare earths in high-performance materials, such as ceramics, highlighting the significance of rare earth extraction. Strengthening the crystallization growth of the rare earth phase in rare earth slag is crucial for ensuring effective subsequent rare earth enrichment and separation. However, viscosity plays a major role in the characteristics of high-temperature melts and the crystallization process. In this study, an internal column rotation method was used to measure the viscosity of CaO-SiO2-CaF2-Ce2O3 slag melts. The effect of shear rate on the rheological behavior of CaO-SiO2-CaF2-Ce2O3 slag with varying Ce2O3 and CaF2 contents, and CaO/SiO2 ratio was investigated by examining the viscosity evolution during the rare earth crystallization growth process. The rheological behavior of the CaO-SiO2-CaF2-Ce2O3 slag was elucidated in regions of liquid phase, low solid phase, and high solid phase, providing insight into the viscosity changes of non-Newtonian flowing melts. Based on this, the effect of shear rate on the crystallization behavior of rare earth phases was investigated to provide a basis for improving the subsequent separation of rare earth phases.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
