1. Evaluation of the Properties of LaNiO3 Material Prepared by the Modified Proteic Method for Adsorption of Environmental Contaminants
LaNiO3 material was synthesized by modified proteic method, calcined at 900 °C/2 h in air atmosphere and was applied to remove environmental contaminants. LaNiO3 phase with a perovskite structure was formed in the calcined material, which has a surface area of 22 m2 g-1 and is formed by fine particles agglomerated, with pH of the zero charge point of 7.44.

3. Performance analysis of the beneficiation process of bauxite from the Juruti Mine. Industrial sampling and performance evaluation
Abstract Sampling campaigns were conducted at the industrial bauxite wash circuit of the Juruti Bauxite Mine in Pará, Brazil. The beneficiation circuit consisted of crushing, scrubber washing, wet screening, hydrocyclone classification, and fltration. Considering laboratory processing of samples and statistical analyses of historical operation databases, ma

4. An alternative route to extract nickel and cobalt from non-commercial laterite ore
Abstract Laterite ores, which represent around two-thirds of nickel reserves, became an important source of nickel and cobalt metals. The objective of the present study was to investigate the efficiency of a hybrid route to extract nickel and cobalt present in a laterite ore sample which was not commercially attractive to be processed through the current rou

6. Numerical simulations of ceramic firing in catenary kilns
Abstract Kiln geometries were developed to reach homogeneous temperatures above 900 °C, during the firing process, aiming to improve the production process of the ceramists from Vale do Jequitinhonha (MG/Brazil). Techniques of reactive flow numerical solution using the software Ansys CFX have been used to foresee the behavior of the firings. Two types of ca

8. Heterogeneous Fenton-like catalytic degradation of phenazine dye over CeO2 (CP-2) nanoscale powder
Abstract A heterogeneous Fenton-like process was explored for oxidation of phenazine dye using ceria polishing material (CP-2). XRD, SEM, FTIR, UV-vis DRS, and pHPZC techniques were applied to characterize the catalyst features. The performance of the heterogeneous Fenton-like process was investigated under various parameters (reaction time, pH, H2O2 concent

9. Effect of Multi-Pass Rolling on the Performance of AZ31 Magnesium Alloy Anode in Mg-Air Battery
In this work, the influence of rolling passes on microstructure, corrosion behavior, electrochemical performance, and battery performance of AZ31 magnesium alloy was studied. The experimental results show that the grain size decreases first and then increases with rolling passes. Among them, the grain size of three passes rolled sample is the smallest, while

10. Obtainment of a new metal matrix composite from the recycling of UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel by powder metallurgy
Abstract The purpose of circular economy is to maximize resources efficiency. With the increase in consumption of raw materials, energy and waste generation, recycling is necessary for environmental and industrial reasons. Thus, the powder metallurgy, together with mechanical milling, stands as a new method for scraps recycling. This study aimed to produce U
