In the present study, reduction of zinc oxide from the pellets made of steelmaking electric arc furnace dust has been investigated. Effects of such parameters as the type of carbon material (graphite, coke and charcoal) as well as time and temperature on the reduction reaction have been examined. The reduced (dimensionless) time method was applied to perform a kinetic analysis of the system. Ex...

Lithium is one of the most valuable elements within lithium-ion batteries, but it also least recycled metals owing to its high reactivity, solubility, and low abundance. This work presents an improved carbothermal reduction combined with a water leaching process for lithium recovery from Li(NixMnyCo1-x-y)O2 cathode materials. Based on thermodynamic analysis reduction, products at different temp...
