Elastic properties and microstructural studies of 0.3Li2O-0.2LiCl-0.5B2O3 glass-ceramics have been carried out for a precursor glass prepared using the rapid melt quenching technique. Quenched glasses were heat treated (by three step process) at 150 °C for 2, 4, 6, and 8 h. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction studies clearly indicate gradual growth of different phases in the glass matrix with increasing time of heat-treatment. IR studies reveal the structural modification in the network as the precursor glass transformed into glass-ceramic. Elastic properties have been measured by performing ultrasonic wave velocity measurements at a frequency of 10 MHz. Longitudinal and shear moduli of the samples tend to increase with heat-treatment time. However, the bulk modulus is almost insensitive to heat treatment. The Debye temperature was found to increase, and the Poisson ratio lies in the range 0.2–0.3 (typical for covalently bonded networks) with an increase in heat-treatment time.

Transparent glass ceramics containing Na3.6Y1.8(PO4)3 crystals were successfully synthesized using high temperature melting quenching and subsequent heat treatment of the precursor glass with a composition 15Na2CO3-3Y2O3-45SiO2-31H3BO3- 5.4P2O5-0.6Sb2O3 (mol%). The impact of heat treatment is investigated in detail. The glass sample was tested by differential scanning calorimetry analysis to determine the heat treatment system. The ideal heat-treated condition is at 650°C for 2 h. The structure and morphology properties were systematically analyzed by recording X-ray diffraction patterns and scanning electron microscopy images, which indicate that Na3.6Y1.8(PO4)3 crystal were precipitated homogeneously among the glass matrix. The microstructural of precursor glass and glass ceramic were compared by analyzing FTIR spectra, indicating the formation of phosphate groups in glass ceramic. The refractive index of glass ceramics samples were measured. In the visible region, the transmittance of glass ceramics is up to 85%. Moreover, the relationship between the refractive index of the sample and the transmittance is discussed.

The glass-ceramics containing nanocrystalline CaNb2O6phase in the 35%SiO2-25%Nb2O5-20%CaO-15BaO-5%Eu2O3(wt%) glass system were prepared by the melt-quench technique followed by a two-stage controlled heat treatment. Samples were characterized by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, spectrophotometer and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results shown that glass ceramic phase is CaNb2O6, grain size is about 30 nm, The two-stage controlled heat treatment is beneficial to control of the number and size of grains, thus affecting the transparency of glass ceramic and luminescence properties. The transmittance of the glass ceramics can be up to 80% in the near-infrared light area. The luminescence spectra of Eu3+-doped glass and glass–ceramics were recorded at 394 nm excitation wavelength and the luminescence intensity is found to be increased with heat-treatment time due to increase in crystallinity. Fluorescence spectrum showed 4 emission peak, which located in the 578 nm (5D0-7F0), 592 nm (5D0-7F1), 615 nm (5D0-7F2) and 654 nm (5D0-7F3), Eu3 +emission peak intensity in the glass ceramic sample were greater than the substrate glass.

Ternary borate glasses from the system Na2O?CaO?B2O3 together with soda-lime-borate samples containing 5 wt.% of MgO, Al2O3, SiO2 or P2O5 were prepared. The obtained glasses were converted to their glass-ceramic derivatives by controlled heat treatment. X-ray diffraction was employed to investigate the separated crys?talline phases in glass-ceramics after heat treatment of the glassy samples. The glasses and corresponding glass-ceramics after immersion in water or diluted phosphate solution for extended times were characterized by the grain method (adopted by several authors and recommended by ASTM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectra to justify the formation of hydroxyapatite as an indication of the bone bonding ability. The influence of glass composition on bioactivity potential was discussed too.

Spent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries contain abundant strategic lithium resources and are thus considered attractive secondary lithium sources. However, these batteries may contaminate the environment because they contain hazardous materials. In this work, a novel process involving low-temperature heat treatment is used as an alternative pretreatment method for recycling spent LFP batteries. When the temperature reaches 300°C, the dissociation effect of the anode material gradually improves with heat treatment time. At the heat treatment time of 120 minutes, an electrode material can be dissociated. The extension of heat treatment time has a minimal effect on quality loss. The physicochemical changes in thermally treated solid cathode and anode materials are examined through scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The heat treatment results in the complete separation of the materials from aluminium foil without contamination. The change in heat treatment temperature has a small effect on the quality of LFP material shedding. When the heat treatment temperature reaches 300°C and the time reaches 120 minutes, heat treatment time increases, and the yield of each particle size is stable and basically unchanged. The method can be scaled up and may reduce environmental pollution due to waste LFP batteries.

A study on the effect of heat treatment condition on the characteristics of MnO2 added-Fe2TiO5 ceramics for NTC thermistor has been carried out. The ceramics were produced by pressing an homogenous mixture of Fe2O3 (local/ yarosite), TiO2 and MnO2 (2.0 mole %) powders in appropriate proportions to produce Fe2TiO5 based ceramics and sintering the pressed powder at 1050 °C for 3 hours in oxygen gas. Some sintered pellets were heat treated by heating them at 300 °C for 5, 15 and 25 minutes in Ar + 7% H2 gas. The XRD analyses showed that the Fe2TiO5 ceramics with and without heat treatment time had orthorhombic structure. No peak from second phase was observed from the XRD profiles. From the electrical characteristics data, it was known that the heat treatment could change the electrical characteristics of the Fe2TiO5 based-thermistor. The thermistor constant (B) and room temperature resistivity (ρRT) decreased with the increasing of heat treatment time. All ceramics made had thermistor characteristics namely B = 3459-7596 K and ρRT = 1.056-6936.062 MΩcm. Thermistor constant of the ceramics was relatively big, indicated that ceramics made from local iron oxide in this work fit the market requirement for NTC thermistor.
