    Impact of Simulated Inflammation and Food Breakdown on the Synergistic Interaction Between Corrosion and Wear on Titanium
    (Elsevier, 2024) Lima, A.R.; Pinto, A.M.P.; Toptan, F.; Alves, A.C.
    This paper investigates the impact of lactic acid and phosphoric acid additives in artificial saliva (AS), simulating inflammation and food breakdown, on the electrochemical and tribo-electrochemical behavior of titanium. The results showed that, unlike lactic acid, phosphoric acid significantly reduced corrosion resistance, mainly due to local damage and heterogeneities on the passive film. Non-additivated AS caused greater wear volume loss, with mechanical wear identified as the main mechanism. However, when additives were present, a synergistic interplay between corrosion and wear was observed. The study concludes that prolonged exposure to food breakdown could accelerate material degradation in titanium. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

    A Review on Characterization and Recyclability of Pharmaceutical Blisters
    (Elsevier, 2023) Capkin, Irem Yaren; Gokelma, Mertol
    Packaging is one of the biggest sectors in the world and the use of aluminium is widespread in the packaging industry. Pharmaceutical blister packages generate a significant amount of solid waste, typically containing plastics and aluminium as thin layers. Since these packages have a complex structure with multiple layers, they are hard to recycle. A separation process of the plastic and aluminium is needed prior to recycling. Hydrometallurgical or thermal processes can be used for the separation. This work reviews the characterization of different types of blisters and the different reagents used in the separation process of the blister layers. Parameters and results of separation processes by using hydrochloric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, organic solvents, and phosphoric acid were discussed as well as the thermal degradation.

    Synthesis of Potassium-Sodium Niobate (Knn) From Nbo2
    (Elsevier, 2021) Piskin, Cerem; Karacasulu, Levent; Bortolotti, Mauro; Vakifahmetoglu, Cekdar
    KxNa1-xNbO3 (0 < x < 1) were synthesized via hydrothermal method using niobium dioxide (NbO2) as the niobium source instead of the most common one, Nb2O5. Potassium-rich KxNa1-xNbO3 (x > 0.5) was obtained from 8 M total hydroxide concentration after 6 h of reaction at 200 degrees C. Rietveld refinement of the XRD data revealed that all samples exhibited the secondary NaNbO3 phase. However, the lowest amount (3.74 vol%) was obtained for 24 h of reaction under 10 M alkaline solution. After 3 h of reaction, dodecahedra shaped hexaniobate phase (KxNa8-xNb6O19.nH(2)O) was observed. Those structures were, subsequently, replaced by similar to 3 mu m cube shaped KNN crystals, obtained under 10 M reaction in 24 h time period.
