Spinel-type lithium manganese oxide ion sieves (LMOs) have been bee recognized for their high performance in this application. However, the elevated market cost of the spinel form (λ-MnO2) raises economic concerns, posing challenges to the feasibility of the extraction process. In this study, the one-step hydrothermal synthesis of Li1.33Mn1.67O4 was carried out at 200 °C for 7 days using commercial γ-MnO2 powder and aqueous LiOH solution as reactants. The synthesized powder exhibited characteristic XRD reflections consistent with spinel Li1.33Mn1.67O4. Lithium ion-sieve (H1.33Mn1.67O4) was obtained by leaching the LMO product with dilute hydrochloric acid solution. The sorption capacity of γ-MnO2 is increased from 8.4 to 23.1 mg/g (C0=200 mg/L), this capacity is very close to the one of the commercial λ-MnO2. The synthesized spinel HMO sorbent achieved a maximum Langmuir adsorption capacity of 52.1 mg/g. The extraction efficiency reached 94% at the sorbent dose of 20 g/L. The distribution coefficients of metal ions were in the order Li+ > Ca2+ > K+ > Na+, emphasizing selective Li+ extraction from brines with high Na+ content. These findings highlight the successful development of a spinel-type lithium manganese oxide ion sieve from γ-MnO2 polymorph, which is nearly an order of magnitude cheaper than the selective λ-MnO2. The study addresses critical issue of economic feasibility in lithium extraction processes, providing a potential solution for the selective recovery of bulk lithium. © 2024 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2Electrocaloric Behaviour of Tape Cast and Grain Oriented Nbt-Kbt Ceramics(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Unal, Muhammet Ali; Karakaya, Merve; Irmak, Tugce; Yildirim-Ozarslan, Gokce; Avci, A. Murat; Fulanovic, Lovro; Adem, UmutWe have investigated the effects of grain orientation and tape casting process on the electrocaloric properties of 0.82Na(0.5)Bi(0.5)TiO(3)-0.18 K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (0.82NBT-0.18KBT) ceramics at the Morphotropic Phase Boundary (MPB), using direct and indirect measurements. We observe a larger electrocaloric response for the template-free ceramics compared to 7 and 10 wt% template containing ones, suggesting that grain orientation along rhombohedral < 100 > does not improve the electrocaloric response. Indirect measurements yielded a large adiabatic temperature change of around 3 K under an electric field of 50 kV/cm, which is significantly higher than 0.9 K reached at a lower electric field of 40 kV/cm using the direct measurement.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4Influence of Partitioning Treatment on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of an Alloyed Ductile Iron Austempered at Different Temperatures(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2023) Neite, Maximilian; Münstermann, Sebastian; Nalçacı, Burak; Davut, Kemal; Erdoğan, MehmetThe present study was conducted to uncover effects of partitioning treatment on Cu-Ni-Mo alloyed ductile iron (DI) austempered at different temperatures. For this purpose, the DI samples, produced via sand casting, were austenitized at 900 °C for 60 min, followed by austempering at the temperatures of 275-325-375 °C for 120 min and afterwards a partitioning treatment was applied at 200 °C for 15 min. In the characterization studies, dilatometer, image analysis, JMat-Pro, mechanical tests, XRD, optical microscope, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with EBSD detector were utilized. Characterization studies showed that the effects of partitioning treatment were directly correlated with austempering temperature and high carbon austenite volume fraction changed in the range of 19.48-35.45%. That redistribution of carbon (C) between bainitic ferrite and high carbon austenite occurred, in turn, the carbon content of high carbon austenite increased with the partitioning treatment irrespective of austempering temperature were uncovered. Furthermore, the partitioning treatment considerably changed the grain morphologies of both high carbon austenite and banitic ferrite. As a consequence of these microstructural differences, the highest tensile strength of 1489.2 MPa was established in the sample austempered at 275 °C and partitioned at 200 °C, whereas the highest ductility of 5.61% acquired at the austempering temperature of 375 °C. © 2023 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Nondestructive Microstructural Characterization of Austempered Ductile Iron(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2023) Tüzün, Mert Yağız; Yalçın, Mustafa Alp; Davut, Kemal; Kılıçlı, VolkanAustempered ductile iron (ADI) has been preferred in a wide range of applications due its unique combination of high strength, good ductility, wear resistance and fracture toughness together with lower cost and lower density compared to steels. Magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) measurement offers a better alternative to traditional characterization techniques by being fast and non-destructive. A simple linear regression using only one single independent variable cannot correlate the MBN with the microstructure of ADI, since its microstructure is multi component. Multiple linear regression analysis (MLRA) was used to build a model that uses the characteristic features of microstructural constituents as input parameters to predict the MBN. For that purpose, Cu-Ni-Mo alloyed ductile iron samples austempered between 325 and 400 degrees C and for 45-180 min duration were used. The results show that MBN is most sensitive to the size and shape of acicular ferrite and retained austenite. Moreover, MBN is almost insensitive to the size, morphology and volume fraction of graphite particles. This indicates that retained austenite pins the domain walls more effectively than the graphite particles. Considering the results MLRA, MBN technique can be used to characterize the ausferritic microstructure of ADI.
