Inductively-coupled thermal plasma processes were used to produce nanosized Li2S. Prior the syntheses, feasibility of forming Li2S was first evaluated using FactSage by considering phase diagrams sulfur and different lithium precursors in reducing atmospheres; Li2O, LiOH·H2O, Li2CO3 Li2SO4·H2O all showed promises producing nanoparticles, as confirmed experiments. Argon hydrogen mixtures gases, ...

This study proposes a new process to synthesize zero-valent iron/biochar (Fe0-BC) by carbothermal reduction using wood waste and iron mud as raw materials under different temperature. The characterization results showed that the Fe0-BC synthesized at 1200 °C (Fe0-BC-1200) possessed favorable adsorption capacity with specific surface area of 103.18 m2/g (Fe0) particles were uniformly dispersed o...

Solar thermochemical pyro-metallurgical process is an attractive prospect for the sustainable conversion of both metal oxides and sunlight into value-added chemicals. In this work, a comparative study carbothermal reduction ZnO MgO was performed in 1.5 kWth directly-irradiated solar reactor utilizing concentrated sunlight. Important operating parameters were studied during experiments including...
