The lunar surface is extremely harsh and current mineral processing metal extraction technologies are not adequately equipped to address this environment. In paper, we review the metals available for conditions at surface, analyze challenges associated with comminution, beneficiation, operations. potential beneficial effects of natural also evaluated. This investigation concludes that process p...

In this work, we present experimental studies for the processing of TiO2/ TiCxO1−x Nanoceramic Composite. This paper reports the synthesis of TiO2/ TiCxO1−x composite with Ti/C ratio 50:30 via spark plasma sintering route (SPS). The sinterability, microstructure and mechanical properties of the SPS processed sample was optimized with considering time and temperature. TiCxO1−x was reinforced in ...
