Introduction Lithium is a critical energy material and a strategic resource for the 21th century. This lightest alkali metal plays a grow- ing role in numerous processes such as rechargeable batteries, thermonuclear fusion, medical drugs, lubricant greases, cera- mic glasses, air conditioning, dyes, cements, adhesives, and electrode welding [1–25]. Consequently, the market demands for lithium resources are increasing across the world [26–28]. Generally, lithium is obtained from two major resources: the lithium mineral ores including spodumene and petalite ores, and the lithium water resources including salt-lake brines and sea water [29–32]. Currently, the former is well exploited while the latter is being developed by industries with relatively low efficiency. Nonetheless, according to a reported research [29], more than 60% of the total lithium amount (about 26.9 Mt) exists in brines and sea water,

  • The Structure of Alkali Silicate Glasses and Melts: a Multi-Spectroscopic Approach
    The structure of alkali silicate glasses and melts: A multi-spectroscopic approach by Cedrick A. O'Shaughnessy A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geology Graduate Department of Earth Sciences University of Toronto c Copyright 2019 by Cedrick A. O'Shaughnessy Abstract The structure of alkali silicate glasses and melts: A multi-spectroscopic approach Cedrick A. O'Shaughnessy Doctor of Philosophy in Geology Graduate Department of Earth Sciences University of Toronto 2019 The structure of alkali silicate glasses and melts is investigated using a multi-spectroscopic approach. Raman spectroscopy is used to characterize the local to intermediate range order within the glasses. We show that the distribution of rings varies as a function of composition, with 3-membered rings gaining importance with increasing alkali content. We apply a newly developed model for the fitting of the high n frequency envelope related to SiO4 symmetric stretch vibrations of Q species. These fits are interpreted using the idea of modifier bound bridging oxygen. The proportions of the different Qn species vary with alkali concentration with Q4 species breaking down to form lower order Qn species with increasing alkali 2 content. The Q peak appears at increasingly higher concentrations of M2O with increasing cation size. This leads us to believe that cations with a higher charge density cluster more readily than cations with a lower charge density. At the ∼20 mol. % composition we see a change in the silicate network, as shown by the absence of a Q4 peak and the proportion of 3-membered rings.

  • Fabrication of Glass Ceramic Fibres for High Temperature Applications
    Fabrication of Glass Ceramic Fibres for High Temperature Applications by Zurina Shamsudin A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2013 Department of Mechanical Engineering Supervisor : Prof. Alma Hodzic 1 Abstract MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (MAS) and LiO2-Al2O3-SiO2 (LAS) glass ceramic systems is a material which is reported to have very good mechanical properties and thermal stability. These properties are suitable not only for replacing the conventional materials but also embark new fields which can satisfy the technical demands especially in aerospace applications. However, this work is primarily focusing on the fabrication of glass ceramic matrix composites. Since these glass ceramics are reported to have good thermo-mechanical properties, the study embarked upon the fundamentals of processing of MAS and LAS glass ceramic fibres, in order to open a new avenue for advanced glass fibre composites in high temperature applications. The present work aims to develop fundamental information for fabrication of MAS and LAS glass ceramic fibres and development of the glass ceramic fibre reinforced polymer (GCFRP) composite. The thesis gradually evolves in the direction of this goal by developing suitable bulk glass ceramics, glass ceramic fibres and glass ceramic fibre reinforced polymer composites. In the first part, the bulk MAS and LAS glass ceramics were prepared using melting and casting process. This was followed by controlled heat treatments at different temperatures. The crystallisation behavior of both glass ceramics showed that the temperature increase enhanced the rigidity of the glass structure, thereby superior and reliable properties such as density, nanohardness and reduced Young's modulus were successfully derived in the MAS and LAS system prepared at different annealing and subsequent heat-treatment regimes.

In the follow up presentation he made the following points. Stable isotopes have numerous beneficial applications and diverse procedures. Putting aside the centrifuge method, there are other procedures such as, chemical exchange, refrigerating and membrane distillation, as well as heat penetration which we plan to deploy in such facilities. The complex has gone through various lab stages, and must now be further developed. The entire project premises is 5000 square meters including 8 workshops and 8 lab facilities, which is unique in Western Asia. The Fordow site is one of the most valuable facilities among the AEOI complexes. During the last 4 years, considering the 5000 area of this center, around 16000 square meters has been added to this site's buildings of which national center of material should be mentioned.
