From the viewpoint of materials recycling, several properties should be controlled by the latter in simple alloys. Then, observation and evaluation of lattice defects such as vacancy, dislocation and grain boundary are very important for understanding microstructure development during thermo-mechanical treatments. The purpose of this study was to establish a method for esti-mating density of lattice defects in cold rolled and annealed Ti by a precise measurement of electrical resistivity. Pure Ti plates were cold rolled at room temperature. Bar shaped specimens were cut from the plates. Electrical resistivities at 77 K (liquid nitrogen) and 300 K were measured by a direct current four-point method with a constant current of 100 mA. The accuracy of temperature control at 300 K was 0.1 K in silicone oil. Basically the electrical resistivities gradually increased with increasing a reduction of thickness. The density of dislocation was determined to be 2–8 × 10 14 m − 2 in the 15–80% CR specimens","PeriodicalId":20971,"journal":{"name":"Resources Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85354478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The combination of a metallic character together with a cellular structure gives an interesting potential for a wide application of this material, particularly for high volume markets such as the automotive industry. Increased demands concerning cost economy, passenger safety in automobiles and materials recycling all bring constructors now to use metal foams. Hereby it provides the additional environmental benefits from a potentially improved fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions. Then, short review of metallic foam was done in the present paper. The possibility of carbonate and hydroxide as foaming agent for Al-Si-Cu alloy by powder metallurgy route is studied, after preparation processes of metallic foams were briefly reviewed in the present paper. It was done by measuring thermal decomposition behavior of foaming agents and evaluating cell structure of those aluminum foams. To obtain fine and homogenous cell structure in powder metallurgy route by using safer carbonate as foaming agent, it has made clear that importance of selecting foaming agent starting decomposition after melting of matrix. It is clearly different from TiH2-foam to grow coarse-rounded cell structure. From this point of view, MgCO3 and CaMg(CO3)2 is suitable for matrix of Al-Si-Cu alloy. CaMg(CO3)2-foam could expand to 1.19 in specific gravity, and keep homogeneous, fine and spherical cell structure.","PeriodicalId":20971,"journal":{"name":"Resources Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88594616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Black plastics contain carbon black as a colorant, which make them difficult to be identified by infrared adsorption (IR) spectroscopy. Thus, in this study, we are putting forward Raman spectroscopy for separating plastics (including black plastics) from the discarded appliances. There are reports which indicate that PP, PS, and ABS represent 70–80% of the discarded plastics. Each of them has its own characteristic peaks in Raman spectrum. In case of PP black plastics, nearly 100% of the feed can be identified, however, PS is difficult to be identified when carbon black content is about 3%. ABS of the discarded appliances was not identified. Finally, other fillers such as bromine flame retardants and calcium volume expander did not have any effect on Raman spectrum. In addition, we run some experiments for separating the discarded plastics by means of combining Raman identification with triboelectric separation. In Raman identification, the longer we exposure, the more amount of recovery we got, but grade was the highest in 1.0 s exposure, and it was over 95%.

The research is focused at first mechanical activation of fine particles of solid material caused by grinding, and this leads to synthesize functional material from two starting materials without heating. One of the examples is to show the formation of complex oxides such as CaTiO 3 from CaO and TiO 2 . Another one is dechlorination of PVC by its grinding with CaO to form CaOHCl and hydrocarbon. This means that it is possible to separate chlorine from PVC by its washing with water. Grinding operation enables us to reduce indium (In) by from indium oxide (In 2 O 3 ) and ITO in the presence of Li 3 N under NH 3 /N 2 gaseous environment. The reaction can be given by: In 2 O 3 + Li 3 N + NH 3 → 2In + 3LiOH + N 2 . The purity of In and its recover are quite high over 90%. Further example of the mechanical activation followed by heating up to about 400 ° C is to generate hydrogen (H 2 ) from biomass such as wood and straw. The biomass is milled with inorganic substance such as CaO, followed by heating at non-oxidative environment. The generation of H 2 in high concentration can be attained during heating, due to adsorption of CO 2 and CO by CaO to form CaCO 3 . This implies that the grinding plays a big role to bring out many possible applications for material synthesis, material and waste processing.","PeriodicalId":20971,"journal":{"name":"Resources Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79096762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fuel cell hybrids are important for the future as they are currently the most efficient devices when converting chemical energy of methane from renewable fuels to electricity. While the perfect fuel cell would undergo no degradation, practical fuel cells, like batteries, will degrade. This paper is a study of fuel cell hybrids electrochemical performance when the fuel cell sub-system is under- going degradation. In all cases, one can utilize the waste heat to improve overall efficiency through hybridization. Even degradation rates of 0.25 percent per 1000 hours, corresponding to 40,000 hour life, produce significant amounts of waste heat. Power loss is especially high at the cycle end-of- life. Hybridization utilizes waste heat and can be used if degradation occurs and long fuel cell life is expected. The common practice is to linearize degradation. Giving a linear representation to DR, however, gives a linear structure to the area specific resistance, ASR(t). Experimental evidence shows that ASR(t) is commonly an ohmic parabolic function. Degradation rate, DR avg (t), %/1000 hours varies throughout the life of the fuel cell for ohmic parabolic degradation behavior.","PeriodicalId":20971,"journal":{"name":"Resources Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74900303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The osteointegration of titanium and its alloys is less than that of bioactive ceramics. Therefore, various surface modification techniques have been developed to improve the osteointegration. We successfully prepared titanium dioxide (TiO2) and calcium titanate (CaTiO3) films on the surfaces of pure Ti by combined chemical-hydrothermal treatment. Especially in CaTiO3, the formation of apatite was promoted due to the release of Ca 2+ from the surface of CaTiO3 in Hanks’ solution. Calcite (CaCO3) is a biodegradable material that must enhance hydroxyapatite (HAp) formation in simulated body fluid as well as in CaTiO3. The purpose of the present study was to synthesize bioactive films including CaCO3 on pure Ti substrates and porous titanium by chemical-hydrothermal treatment using Ca(OH)2 and KHCO3. The modified porous materials were tested mechanically in a compression test. CaTiO3-CaCO3 and TiO2-CaCO3 films were synthesized by choosing an ion concentration ratio of CO3 /Ca in the aqueous solution for hydrothermal treatment. CaTiO3-CaCO3 films were also synthesized on porous titanium by hydrothermal treatment. Compressive properties of porous titanium after the treatment were similar to those prior to the treatment.
