Electric furnace for thermal treatment to recover valuable materials from spent batteries was newly designed to enhance it with safe, efficient, and eco-friendly processes. Spent batteries were handled in the furnace at 500°C for 2 hours under argon atmosphere and they were found to be separated in side reactor with easy. The electrodic powder including valuable metals such as Mn, Ni, Co, Zn, etc. was recovered from bulk components through sieving process.

Continuous-type electric furnace for thermal treatment to recover metal values from waste mixed batteries was newly developed to enhance it with safe, efficient, and eco-friendly processes. Waste mixed batteries were charged continuously into the reactor and handled in the furnace at 500°C for 2 hours under argon atmosphere and they were found to be separated in side reactor with easy. The electrodic powder including valuable metals such as Mn, Ni, Co, Zn, etc. was recovered from bulk components through sieving process.

The Ni+W+Mo+Si composite coatings were prepared by electrodeposition under the galvanostatic conditions (jdep= -100 mA cm-2) from the nickel bath containing powders of tungsten, molybdenum and silicon. Thermal treatment of the obtained coatings was conducted in argon atmosphere. Chemical composition of the coatings was determined by energy dispersive spectrocopy (EDS). Phase composition investigations were conducted by X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. Studies of electrochemical corrosion resistance were carried out in 5 M KOH solution. On the basis of these investigations it was found that Ni+W+Mo+Si thermally treated coating is more corrosion resistant than Ni+W+Mo+Si as-deposited coating.

Polymer derived ceramic foams were prepared with the replica method using filler free and filler loaded polysiloxane containing slurries for the impregnation of open celled polyurethane foams. A significant change in mechanical strength, porosity and surface energy, i.e., wettability after thermal treatment between 130 °C (crosslinking) and 1000 °C (pyrolysis) in argon atmosphere was observed. While low-temperature pyrolyzed foams are elastic and hydrophobic, foams pyrolyzed at high temperatures are brittle and hydrophilic, and they possess higher compression strength. Changes of these properties were correlated with the polymer-to-ceramic transformation.

Ni+Mo+Si coatings were obtained by electrolytic codeposition of crystalline nickel with molybdenum and silicon powders from an electrolyte containing suspension of these powders. These coatings were obtained in galvanostatic conditions, at the current density of -0.100 A cm-2. Thermal treatment of these coatings in argon atmosphere was done at temperature of 1100oC for 1 hour. A scanning electron microscope was used for surface morphology characterization of the coatings. Chemical composition of obtained coatings was determined by Xray fluorescence spectroscopy method and phase composition investigations were conducted by Xray diffraction method. It was found that introduction of molybdenum and silicon into nickel matrix, causes of obtained coatings about very rough surface. Thermal treatment of these coatings influenced their surface. The surface after thermal treatment is more compact and less rough than the as-deposited one.

ABSTRACT: This work investigated the thermal treatment to separate and concentrate economically valuable materials from laminates of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules (i.e., photovoltaic modules without the aluminum frame and the junction box). Chemical characterization of the metal content was performed by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). The polymers of the backsheet were also characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The influence of the atmosphere (oxidizing and inert) on the decomposition of the backsheet was investigated by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). Moreover, non-comminuted samples were tested for 4 thermal time lengths (30, 60, 90, and 120 min) in the furnace under ambient air. The degradation of the polymers was measured and 3 material fractions were obtained: silicon with silver and residual polymers (SS), glass and copper ribbons. Furthermore, there was no statistical difference between the mass losses of the samples submitted for 90 (13.62 ± 0.02 wt.%) and 120 min at 500 °C (p-value = 0.062). In the SS fraction, silver was 20 times more concentrated than in the ground photovoltaic laminate and 30 times more concentrated than high silver concentration ores. The SS fraction (about 6 wt.%) also presented low copper concentration and a high concentration of lead (hazardous metal). About 79 wt.% glass was obtained, as well as 1% copper ribbons (55.69 ± 6.39% copper, 23.17 ± 7.51% lead, 16.06 ± 2.12% tin). The limitations of the treatment and its environmental impact are discussed, and suggestions for industrial-scale application are given.
