Recycling spent lithium-ion batteries plays an essential role in reducing environmental pollution and material and economic scarcity. In this paper, we employed an efficient and environmentally friendly bio-carbon based carbothermal reduction followed by a water leaching process to recover lithium and cobalt from LiCoO<sub>2</sub>(LCO)-based lithium-ion batteries. Here, the carbonized flamboyant pods (CFP) are used as a reducing agent for the carbothermal reduction process. During the carbothermal reduction process, the bio-carbon converts LiCoO<sub>2</sub> into Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> and Li<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>. Afterwards, lithium is leached out by deionized water with a leaching efficiency of 98%, leaving Co in the residue as Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>. This residue is further undergoing a smelting process to recover 98.5% of Co as Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>. This carbothermal green recovery process is energy conserving, environmentally friendly and will bring perspective for sustainable recycling of LIBs with a minimized secondary waste.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":17160,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141784141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The necessity of developing efficient recycling methods of these chemically diverse material systems is constantly gaining both public and technological attention since resource demands of high-technology elements are expected to rise drastically in the future. A novel approach to recover diluted elements from slags is the concept of Engineered Artificial Minerals (EnAM) which aims at entrapping target elements in separable crystalline phases. In this study, slag synthesis through flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) and characterization experiments are combined with theoretical density functional theory (DFT) calculations to identify potential EnAM for Co recovery. Upon validating the viability of stoichiometric slag synthesis and the DFT framework, it is shown that the actual occurrence of flame-synthesized phases can be predicted considering their computed enthalpy of formation. The thus-defined compositional space, which is spanned by potentially forming slag compounds, is employed to identify promising additives for EnAM formation. Systematic analysis of the additive effect on crystallization revealed that Co crystallizes in a Fe–Mg-Co–O cubic spinel, making this phase a good EnAM candidate.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>","PeriodicalId":17160,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141784142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

REE hyperaccumulators were treated using microwave-assisted hydrothermal carbonization (MHTC) in acid-mediated systems to efficiently transfer REEs and other elements into biocrudes and produce high purity and value-added hydrochar. However, the subsequent treatment of biocrudes to recover valuable elements still presents a significant challenge. In this study, a process that combines solvent extraction and struvite precipitation was first developed to address this challenge. In the extraction step, 95.6% of REEs were extracted using 0.05 mol/L di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) with an aqueous to organic (A/O) ratio of 1:1 at pH 3.0. However, 75.1% of Al, 81.2% of Ca, 54.5% of Fe, 61.5% of Mn, and 81.3% of Zn were co-extracted into the organic phase with the REEs. To solve this issue, a subsequent scrubbing step using deionized water was applied, with the removal of over 98% of these impurities, while incurring negligible loss of REEs. After the scrubbing step, over 97% of REEs were ultimately stripped out from the organic phase as REE oxalates using 0.01 mol/L oxalic acid as the stripping agent. Furthermore, phosphorous (P) was found to be retained in the raffinate after the solvent extraction process. 94.4% of the P was recovered by forming struvite precipitate at pH 9.0 and a Mg/P molar ratio of 1.5. In general, high purity and value-added REE products and struvite precipitate were eventually achieved from biocrudes in environmentally friendly and economically viable ways.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":17160,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141784143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to external recycling, internal recycling of spent refractory as a slag additive shows many advantages. However, the dissolution rate of spent MgO-C refractory in steelmaking slag is lower and small MgO-C particles are difficult to charge into the converter. To achieve its adequate dissolution and effective utilization, the spent MgO-C refractory was crushed to fabricate MgO-C briquette with a certain mechanical strength, and their dissolution behavior in steelmaking slag was investigated. The results showed that the compressive strength of MgO-C briquette increased significantly when the binder was added. The mechanical strength of MgO-C briquette can meet the requirement for transport and charging. The MgO-C briquette was readily broken to small pieces after it was added into the molten slag, and its dissolution occurred dramatically in the beginning, generating large amounts of foaming slag. The MgO-C briquette could be fully dissolved in each slag, and only some tiny MgO particles remained. The dissolution of MgO-C briquette resulted in an increase in the MgO content and a decrease in the FeO content in slag. It could provide more than 5% MgO to molten slag. Binder type had a little effect on the dissolution of MgO-C briquette in the molten slag. Decreasing slag basicity and increasing FeO content in slag facilitated the dissolution of MgO-C briquette, causing a higher MgO content in slag. This study confirmed that the complete dissolution of spent MgO-C refractory could supply heat and large amounts of MgO to the molten slag. It will not only reduce the consumption of steelmaking flux but also achieve the resource utilization of metallurgical wastes.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":17160,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Metallurgy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141783914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phase and chemical composition of gallium-enriched coal gangue were determined, and the gallium content was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). The mineralogical characteristics of coal gangue and liberation characteristics of main mineral phases, where gallium occurs, were analyzed using mineral liberation analyzer (MLA). The migration and occurrence of gallium in coal gangue during phase evolution after heat treatment were investigated through thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) and step sequential chemical extraction procedure. The results show that the main minerals in the coal gangue are kaolinite, pyrite, and illite, and the gallium content is 38.82 ppm, of which about 84% is present in kaolinite. It is indicated that gallium mainly occurs in aluminosilicate minerals in the form of isomorphism. MLA results reveal that kaolinite in coal gangue shows a good liberation degree, while pyrite and muscovite are encapsulated with another or more minerals, reflecting lower liberation characteristics. Organic matter combustion, pyrite oxidation, calcite decomposition, aluminosilicate dehydroxylation (transformation from kaolinite to metakaolin), and conversion of metakaolin into mullite sequentially occur during thermal treatment for coal gangue. As the mineral phases evolve, gallium gradually migrates from the aluminosilicate phase, predominantly kaolinite, to the oxides of iron, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, and then to aluminosilicate at 1000 ℃.

The leachates have been generated through ammonium bifluoride (NH<sub>4</sub>F⋅HF) fluorination (5/1 ratio to ore), followed by sulfuric acid (1 M) leaching of the fluorinated product. Under these conditions, leachate concentration in Nb was 4.2 g/L, while Ta varied between 15 and 17 g/L. Contact time, organic/aqueous (O/A) ratio, and sulfuric acid concentration of the aqueous phase were investigated on their influence on the level of Ta/Nb extraction and separation efficiencies of methyl isobuthyl ketone (MIBK), 2-octanol (OCL), and Aliquat®336 used as solvent extractants. Results show that Ta and Nb could be successfully separated from ammonium bifluoride using the three studied extractants. In the case of MIBK and OCL (100% concentration), the optimum conditions for Ta/Nb separation were found as follows: leachate acidity—3 M, contact time—15 min, and O/A ratio—1. Separation factors of Ta against Nb (SF<sub>Ta/Nb</sub>) of about 280 (MIBK) and 51 (OCL) were accordingly reached. When 3% Aliquat®336 was used, the highest Ta vs. Nb separation factor (<i>SF</i><sub>Ta/Nb</sub> = 180) was obtained at O/A ratio of 1 employing 2-min contact time without acidity adjustment. The separation performance of the three extractants could be ranked in the following order: MIBK &gt; Aliquat®336 &gt; OCL.
