Designing processes to extract gallium from LED chips and indium from LCD screens simultaneously reveals the potential and necessary distinctions for a flexible process based on elemental sulfur reactivity, which can be applied to both feedstocks. Whereas Ga- and In-compounds found in e-waste (gallium nitride, GaN; indium tin oxide, ‘ITO’) are recalcitrant to dissolution in aqueous feedstocks, the reaction with sulfur gas to form volatile sulfides may support their selective extraction from prepared e-waste. Process conditions for selective sulfidation are herein informed from thermodynamics and demonstrated experimentally. Vapor phase transport of the volatile sulfides is a powerful means to collect and enrich gallium and indium. Practical implementation likely calls for physical separation approaches to disassemble e-waste, remove excess material (epoxy, glass, metallic leads, and housing) from LED chips, and expose the ITO layer within LCD screens.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":605,"journal":{"name":"JOM","volume":"77 10","pages":"7415 - 7434"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11837-025-07623-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145078851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The suspension roasting process can enhance the gold leaching effect. According to thermodynamic analysis, sulfur and arsenic are oxidized into gaseous products, while ankerite and muscovite are decomposed. The experimental results showed that two-step suspension roasting achieved a higher leaching rate than one-step roasting for such ore. Under the condition of two-step suspension roasting, the gold leaching rate reached 84.77%. Suspension roasting increased the distribution rate of gold in bared and semi-bared forms while reducing the arsenic distribution rate in arsenopyrite. Analysis of the calcine’s pore structure indicated that increasing roasting temperature, time, and oxygen concentration promotes pore formation. However, excessively high parameters may lead to sintering and the \"secondary wrapping\" of arsenic, which blocks pore structures, hinders contact between gold and leaching agents, and ultimately reduces leaching efficiency.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":605,"journal":{"name":"JOM","volume":"77 10","pages":"7361 - 7375"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145078781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Defects, microstructure and tensile properties of as-built and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) materials were studied. For the first time to our knowledge, we reveal that the layered structure in EBM TiAl forms because of the preferential coarsening of γ grains in Al-rich regions during HIP. A smaller line offset leads to more Al evaporation, fewer coarsened grains and therefore higher strength, with yield strength reaching 776 MPa when line offset is 0.15 mm (HIP material). Dislocation glide and twinning are the main deformation modes; twin intersection and blocking of dislocation by twins are found to strengthen the alloy. The present alloy outperforms existing cast/EBM TiAl alloys (e.g., TiAl 4822) across temperatures (25–850 °C), demonstrating potential for high-temperature aerospace applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":605,"journal":{"name":"JOM","volume":"77 10","pages":"7191 - 7199"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145079004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that the formation of bending and edge cracks is due to the difference in microstructure and mechanical properties between as-sintered 2A12 aluminum alloy (S-2A12-Al alloy) and as-sintered AZ31 magnesium alloy (S-AZ31-Mg alloy). This leads to the different plastic deformation ability of the two alloys, and they cannot achieve synergistic deformation during RB. The synergistic deformation of the two plates can be achieved by pre-rolling deformation and annealing treatment before RB. This can effectively solve the bending and edge crack problems of 2A12-Al/AZ31-Mg LMCs during RB. Therefore, the S-2A12-Al alloy was first pre-rolled with 40% reduction at 300°C and then annealed at 420°C for 60 min, while the S-AZ31-Mg alloy was pre-rolled with 60% reduction at 300°C. Finally, the pretreated S-2A12-Al alloy and S-AZ31-Mg alloy were roll-bonded at 300°C, and the 2A12-Al/AZ31-Mg LMCs, with no bending or edge cracks, were successfully prepared.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":605,"journal":{"name":"JOM","volume":"77 10","pages":"7435 - 7448"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145078818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
