In this study, aluminum titanate/anorthite (Al 2 TiO 5 -CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 ) ceramics were fabricated from ferrotitanium slag through phase reconstruction. Stabilization of the ceramic was achieved by migration of Mg element into Al 2 TiO 5 phase. The results indicated that optimal performance was achieved with the addition of 4 wt% MgO and 60 wt% ferrotitanium slag at 1370°C. The ceramic exhibited bulk density of 3.11 ± 0.01 g/cm 3 , thermal storage density of 1.51 kJ/cm 3 , and thermal expansion coefficient of 3.40 × 10 −6 /°C (1000°C), respectively. Additionally, the solid solution of Mg 2+ in the Al 2 TiO 5 lattice reduced the formation of microcracks and enhanced the mass transfer process. Consequently, the sintering temperature decreased from 1415°C to 1370°C while the bending strength increased from 61.25 ± 1.05 MPa to 75.92 ± 7.72 MPa. Furthermore, finite element simulation demonstrated that higher thermal expansion led to concentrated thermal stress, potentially increasing the possibility of ceramic cracking. This research provides a new strategy for preparing low thermal expansion ceramics from titanium-containing solid waste.

The thermal shock behaviors of the multiple crack system based on aluminum titanate (Al 2 TiO 5 , AT) flexible ceramics are investigated. Two (fine/coarse-grained) systems are employed in this study to observe the influence of the grain size and microcrack size on the thermal shock behaviors of AT flexible ceramics. The findings reveal that these two systems exhibit markedly different adversarial strategies against high-temperature thermal shock. The coarse-grained system disperses the thermal stress by introducing new cracks and making stress evenly dispersed, while the fine-grained one can only concentrate thermal stress on limited microcracks. This is because almost all the grain boundaries in the coarse-grained system could serve as crack source sites, while that was only approximately 1/3 in the fine-grained one. Consequently, as the thermal shock temperature increases, the strain of the coarse-grained system first increases and then decreases, while its strength shows double peaks and double valleys. As for the fine-grained one, the strain decreases with the temperature increase, while its strength first increases and then decreases. Therefore, it can be concluded that the mechanical properties of AT flexible ceramics are closely related to microcracks' size and stress state. And, the conclusion that there exists a favorable state of internal stress and a favorable influence of microcracks that is beneficial to the mechanical performance of AT flexible ceramics could be drawn.

The efficient treatment of uranium (U) is an important and challenging issue regarding radioactive wastes management. Adsorbent with high efficacy, low-cost is urgently needed for alleviating the contamination of U-containing wastewaters. To solve these issues, we report a series of phytic acid (PA) modified Zn-Al-Ti layered mixed metal oxides (Zn-Al-Ti LMO@PAs) in this work, which shows the adsorption capacity as high as ∼1486 mg/g and could be easily obtained through a facile post-modification method. The adsorption performance of Zn-Al-Ti LMO@PAs for U(VI) are carefully estimated through batch experiments. With the aid of batch experiments and various characterization techniques, PA in Zn-Al-Ti LMO@PAs is found to make the most contribution for the chelation of U(VI), which favors for the adsorption selectivity and capability. The Zn-Al-Ti LMO@PAs are potential cost-effective adsorbents to remove the U(VI) in wastewaters.

The mechanism of Mg 2+ introduction on the thermal expansion properties of Al 2 TiO 5 ceramics was elucidated through experimental characterization and theoretical calculation for Mg x Al 2(1-x) Ti 1+x O 5 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75). Results showed that as x increased from 0 to 0.75, the calculated thermal expansion coefficient (single-crystal) exhibited minimal variation, while the apparent thermal expansion coefficient (polycrystalline) increased from 0.09 × 10 -6 K -1 to 3.85 × 10 -6 K -1 (1000 °C). The low apparent thermal expansion of Al 2 TiO 5 (x = 0) was attributed to microcrack healing and pore compensation effects. For x = 0.75, the enhanced apparent thermal expansion was correlated with reduced microcrack formation and improved densification. The incorporation of Mg 2+ reduced octahedral distortion and lattice stiffness, thereby suppressing transverse vibrations of bridging oxygen atoms and contraction along the c-axis. This reduced thermal expansion anisotropy and minimized microcrack formation. Additionally, as Mg 2+ content increased from x = 0 to x = 0.75, the porosity reduced from (11.23 ± 0.13) % to (3.96 ± 0.24) %, thereby weakening the pore compensation effect. These findings provide valuable insights for designing Al 2 TiO 5 -based ceramics with low thermal expansion.

The co-precipitation behaviour of a simulated Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 –TiOSO 4 –Na 2 SiO 3 solution that imitated the lixivium of Ti-bearing blast furnace slag (Ti-slag) leached by sulphuric acid was investigated in this study. Various chemical analyses were employed to study the selective precipitation of multiple target components. Based on the high-added-value applications of Ti-slag, a new method was developed to prepare aluminium titanate composites from titanium-containing silicates. The findings demonstrate that the onsets of Ti and Al precipitation occur at pH values of 3.5 and 5.0, respectively, followed by Si precipitation. The particle sizes of the co-precipitates were greatly influenced by the precipitants, pH and the initial Al/Ti mole ratio. The results also show that the precipitation ratio of Ti, Al and Si generally increases with the pH and temperature, regardless of the Al/Ti mole ratio. The Si-O-Al, Ti-O-Al, and Ti-O-Si bonds that were formed were dependent on the pH and the initial Al/Ti mole ratio. There was a synthesis path for β -Al 2 TiO 5 (AT) from the solid-state reaction between rutile and α -Al 2 O 3 at 1362.5°C. The AT composites were successfully prepared by sintering the co-precipitates at 1450°C, which exhibited good thermal stability as estimated by the XRD measurements of the sample annealed at 1200°C for 4 hours.

The recycling of titanium from titania-bearing slag is an important part of the circular economy; however, the yield of titania is restricted due to the lack of fundamental thermodynamic data. In the present work, the equilibrium phase relations of MgO–Al 2 O 3 –TiO 2 system in air at 1600°C have been determined using a high-temperature equilibration-quenching technique followed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction. Ti 4+ was confirmed as the stable valence of titanium, and the rutile and spinel solid solution phases were detected to be coexisting with pseudobrookite solid solution phase, respectively. The formation principles of pseudobrookite and spinel solid solutions were confirmed in view of the corresponding crystal structure and the composition substitution relationship of the oxides at 1600°C. However, great discrepancies were found from the comparison of the present experimental results with the thermodynamic calculations and the literature results, and the present equilibrium phase relations are therefore significant for updating the present titania related thermodynamic database for a superior prediction of the thermodynamic behaviors of relevant process.

With the ongoing advancement of miniaturization and microfabrication, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) energetic devices are increasingly demanding higher output capabilities from energetic materials. This study investigates the incorporation of Titanium (Ti) into PVDF-based energetic films to improve their performance. We fabricated five Al/Ti/CuO/PVDF energetic composite films with varying Ti contents by direct ink writing (DIW). The results indicate that the Al/Ti/CuO/PVDF films demonstrate superior performance compared to Al/CuO/PVDF(AT-0). Notably, the 50 wt% Al/50 wt% Ti/CuO/PVDF (AT-50) film achieved optimal performance, exhibiting a 68% increase in combustion rate compared to the AT-0 film. Additionally, it showed a reduction in ignition delay time by 6 ms, an increase in flame temperature of 160.9 K, a 24% rise in maximum pressure, a pressurization rate enhancement of 117%, and an overall increase in heat release of 26.8%. This is attributed to the synergistic effect of the Al/Ti bimetallic fuels, where their close contact creates an alloying reaction that releases a large amount of heat and avoids the detrimental effects of Al sintering. This Al/Ti/CuO/PVDF energetic composite film, characterized by its exceptional synergistic mechanism and high energy output, holds significant promise for integration with MEMS devices, paving the way for innovative applications in micro-ignition, micro-propulsion, and micro-startup technologies. Highlights Ti was added to the PVDF-based energetic films to form the dual-fuel system. The Al/Ti dual-fuel has a synergistic effect to improve output performance. The 50wt%Al/50wt%Ti/CuO/PVDF film can achieve optimal output performance.

In this paper, a series of novel inorganic/organic rare earth (europium, terbium) hybrid materials through 2-phenylmalonic acid linkage were synthesized by the sol–gel process. The micro-structure and the luminescent properties of the complicated hybrids were studied in detail by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy , wide angle x-ray diffraction, themogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscope, and fluorescence spectra. The above research results indicate that the hybrids possess high thermal-stability, amorphous structure features and especially favorable luminescent performances such as long luminescent decay lifetime, and high quantum yield.

In this paper, an Al/TiB 2 layered composite was prepared by plasma spraying for use as the base material to reduce resistivity and improve electrochemical performance in an electrode. The β-PbO 2 coating was prepared by electrochemical deposition . Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to study the Al/TiB 2 composite and the β-PbO 2 coating. The electrochemical performance of the Al/TiB 2 /β-PbO 2 and Ti/β-PbO 2 composites was studied by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), Tafel polarization curves (Tafel) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results indicate that Al/TiB 2 /β-PbO 2 composite electrode materials with a uniform structure were successfully prepared by plasma spraying and electrochemical deposition. The structure of the Al/TiB 2 composite improves the conductivity of the electrode matrix, the optimal value of conductivity is 2.76 × 10 7 S m −1 , and the optimal value of density is 8.758 g cm −3 for β-PbO 2 coating. The composite also decreases the charge resistance in the double layer structure of the electrode surface, accelerating the charge transfer rate. Compared with the Ti matrix, the Al/TiB 2 /β-PbO 2 exhibited the best corrosion-resistant performance and electrochemical catalytic activity for electrowinning of nonferrous metals .

This study investigates the combustion characteristics of reactive aluminium alloys in combination with fluoropolymer oxidizers. Aluminium-magnesium (Al-Mg) and aluminium-titanium (Al-Ti) alloys were selected as metallic fuels, while polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was employed as the oxidizer. Composite samples were prepared using two methods: electrostatic spraying (ES) and physical mixing (PM). The ES method yielded samples with a PVDF-coated structure, whereas the PM method produced simple mixtures. The samples and their combustion products were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), combustion experiments, and thermal analysis. The results indicate that compared to the PM samples, the ES-coated samples exhibited more effective dispersion of metallic particles, reduced particle agglomeration, increased combustion heat release temperature, decreased maximum flame area and height, and mitigated or eliminated explosive or micro-explosive phenomena during combustion, thereby achieving stable combustion. Additionally, the ES samples demonstrated a significant reduction in the particle size of condensed-phase products after combustion, alleviated sintering and agglomeration, decreased the formation of metal oxides, and minimized residual metallic fuel, allowing for the full release of combustion heat. Thermal analysis revealed that the coating structure of the ES samples lowered the activation energy for the reaction between the metallic fuel and PVDF, thereby enhancing the chemical reactivity.
