For a highly efficient recycling of a wastewater containing a high concentration of MgCl 2 , Al(III) and P507 were scheduled to be removed in advance. In this study, the in-situ removal of Al(III) and P507 from a high concentration MgCl 2 solution at different pH values and Al/P molar ratios was investigated. The results showed that P507 formed organic complexes of Al x (OH) z + y -P507 at pH of 2.0−4.0. At pH of 4.0−5.0, Al(III) precipitated and transferred into Al(OH) 3 with a flocculent amorphous morphology. Active sites on the Al(OH) 3 surface enhanced the removal efficiency of P507. At pH of 6.0−6.5, Al(III) and Mg(II) formed layered crystalline Al(OH) 3 and MgAl 2 (OH) 8 with small pore channels and fewer active sites, resulting in a reduced removal efficiency of P507. When the Al/P molar ratio exceeded 13 and the pH was between 4.0 and 5.0, the removal rates of both Al(III) and P507 were higher than 98%, while the concentration loss of Mg(II) was only 0.2%−0.9%.

A novel sintered-joining of Al 2 O 3 and AlN is achieved for the first time using micro-Ag particle interlayers in air. In comparison with reactive air brazing , this method addresses the issue of reduced strength caused by air holes in brazed joints . Also, this sintered-joining method can be performed at a lower temperature (920 °C), improving the joint strength by relieving the residual stresses. The sintering effect of micro-Ag particles and their high density of dislocations promote the recovery and recrystallization of the Ag interlayer, as well as the interdiffusion of Ag and ceramic. Ag–O clusters formed at the interface can be embedded into oxygen vacancies on the ceramic surface, playing a key role in interfacial joining. By optimizing joining temperature, assembly pressure and holding time, a maximum joint shear strength of 85.2 MPa is achieved at 920 °C for 30 min with an assembly pressure of 1 MPa. This study successfully prepares Al 2 O 3 /AlN joints with excellent mechanical properties, providing a reliable foundation for the fabrication of power integrated circuits with efficient operation.

Rechargeable aluminum ion batteries (RAIBs) exhibit great potential for next-generation energy storage systems owing to the abundant resources, high theoretical volumetric capacity and light weight of the Al metal anode. However, the development of RAIBs based on Al metal anodes faces challenges such as dendrite formation, self-corrosion, and volume expansion at the anode/electrolyte interface, which needs the rational design of an aluminum anode for high-performance RAIBs. This work proposes a novel and low-cost strategy by utilizing an alloy electrodeposition method in a low-temperature molten salt system to fabricate an aluminum–tin (AlSn) alloy coating layer on copper foil as the anode for RAIBs, which successfully addresses the issues of dendrite formation and corrosion at the anode/electrolyte interface. The artificial AlSn alloy layer could enhance the active sites for metal Al homogeneous deposition and effectively retard the dendrite formation, which was verified by an in situ optical microscopy study. The symmetric AlSn@Cu cell demonstrates a low average overpotential of ∼38 mV at a current density of 0.5 mA cm−2 and a long-term lifespan of over 1100 h. Moreover, the AlSn@Cu//Mo6S8 full cells deliver a high capacity of 114.9 mA h g−1 at a current density of 100 mA g−1 and maintain ultra-stable cycling stability even over 1400 cycles with a ∼100% coulombic efficiency (CE) during the long-term charge/discharge processes. This facile alloy electrodeposition approach for designing high-performance Al-based anodes provides insights into the understanding of artificial interface chemistry on Al-based anodes and potentially accelerates the design of high-performance RAIBs.

For the first time, aluminum alloy was used as the main source to prepare aluminum oxide-modified carbon nitride with a melamine–cyanuric acid supramolecular complex. The introduction of amorphous aluminum oxide confers macroporosity to the skeletons of g-C3N4-AlOx. Its surface area increased to 75.5 m2g−1, about 1.5 times that of single g-C3N4. After modification, the visible light response range was expanded, especially at 450~500 nm, while the band structure could be adjusted. Compared with g-C3N4, g-C3N4-AlOxhas better photocatalytic performance, the adsorption rate for the dye rhodamine B (RhB) is about 2.1 times that of g-C3N4, and the RhB removal rate is 1.2 times that of g-C3N4.Keywords:g-C3N4;modification;aluminum alloy as aluminum source;photocatalysis;porosity introduction

Molybdenum or tungsten borides are excellent high-temperature ceramics or electrocatalysis materials. In this paper, Mo or W borides were prepared by boronizing Mo or W powder in Al melt with B 4 C as boron source. By thermodynamic calculation, the feasibility of preparing various borides and the stability of borides in Al melt were evaluated. Through high temperature reaction at 1523 K and the following acidic leaching, single phase MoAlB, W 2 B 5 , WB, and W 2 B 5 powders were successfully synthesized. Owing to the decarburizing function of Al melt, C contents of various boride products were below 1 wt%. In addition, the phase transition processes of various products in the synthesis stage were revealed.

Immersion tests of AlN in LiF-LiCl-LiBr-Li salt have been performed at 500 °C to study the corrosion behaviour of AlN. The results show that AlN initially corroded at a higher rate (2⋅10 −5 mg/(mm 2 ⋅h)) during 0−50 h than during 50−300 h (6⋅10 -6 mg/(mm 2 ⋅h)) because the formation of an alumina corrosion layer protected the AlN from further corrosion. The addition of metallic Li at low concentrations (<0.1 wt. %) to the molten salt inhibited the corrosion of AlN by preferentially depleting oxygen impurities, while Li at high concentrations (>0.1 wt. %) accelerated corrosion by reacting with YAG in AlN.

In this work, transparent aluminate oxynitride (AlON) ceramic wafers were successfully fabricated by the direct non-aqueous tape casting of Al 2 O 3 /AlN slurry and the one-step reaction sintering for the first time. The reaction sintered AlON ceramic wafer exhibits high transmittance of 73.2 % at the wavelength of 1600 nm. This fabricating route realizes smooth and flexible tape without cracks or pinholes in Al 2 O 3 /AlN system and efficiently shortens the preparation cycle of transparent AlON wafers, which is a feasible way to prepare high-quality transparent AlON ceramics with large lateral sizes and thin thicknesses by reaction sintering, might also promote the application of transparent AlON ceramic wafers.

Excessive discharge of fluoride can lead to environmental pollution and human hazards. Coagulation is a widely used process for the removal of fluoride. Existing research on the interaction between coagulants and fluoride has primarily concentrated on the removal of fluoride and the selection of coagulants, while studies on floc aging are lacking. Understanding the aging process of flocs can provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of interaction between coagulants and fluoride and further provide guidance for coagulation as well as sludge return processes. This study compares the fluoride removal efficiencies of two coagulants: polyaluminum-titanium chloride (PATC) and polyaluminum chloride (PACl), and examines the change patterns of fluoride ion during aging (0–120 h). Additionally, the study characterizes the impact of Ti or Al-Ti on the aging process using FTIR, XPS, XRD, and ESI-TOF-MS analyses. The results of the study demonstrate that the fluoride removal efficiency of PATC is 20.2% higher than that of PACl at a dosage of 0.8 mmol/L. The introduction of titanium provides additional binding sites for F − , resulting in a more intricate floc structure. Moreover, titanium promotes the hydrolytic polymerization of aluminum, increasing its positive charge and making it more attractive to F − . Upon the complete precipitation of the flocs, F − in the supernatant of PATC (0–6 h) and PACl (6–72 h) competes with -OH for binding sites, while F − attacks the Al-O or Al-O-Ti bond, leading to the disruption of the polymer. As time progresses, PATC flocs (6–120 h) are less affected by aging than PACl flocs (72–120 h). Throughout the aging process, PATC releases less F − at a slower rate, presumably because the introduction of titanium inhibited the dehydration and crystallization of the flocs to delay the release of F − .

The types and amounts of phyllosilicate minerals in soils play an important role in soil acidification, as the acid buffering capacity of the soil varies with the composition of the phyllosilicate minerals. In addition to aluminum-oxygen (Al-O) octahedrons, a certain number of Al-O tetrahedrons exist in phyllosilicate minerals due to the isomorphic substitution of silicon ion (Si 4+ ) by Al 3+ in Si-O tetrahedrons of minerals. However, the effect of the two coordination structures of Al on the release of Al during mineral acidification has not yet been investigated. Therefore, the differences in Al activation in phyllosilicate minerals and soils containing different Al coordination structures were investigated through constant pH experiments and 27 Al magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR) measurements. The results of 27 Al MAS-NMR spectra showed that kaolinite contained Al-O octahedron, phlogopite and illite contained Al-O tetrahedron, and vermiculite-composite contained both octahedral and tetrahedral Al. At pH < 5.1, the amount of Al released from the minerals during simulated acidification followed the order: illite > vermiculite-composite > phlogopite > kaolinite, which was consistent with the cation exchange capacity and tetrahedral Al of the minerals. According to the rate constants, Al release rates were in the order of phlogopite > illite > vermiculite-composite > kaolinite at pH 4.8. Except for phlogopite, Al release rates in these minerals increased with decreasing suspension pH. Therefore, the amount and rate of Al release in phlogopite, illite, and vermiculite-composite containing Al-O tetrahedron were greater than those in kaolinite containing only Al-O octahedron. Two Oxisols derived from basalt with different ages were selected for similar study. 27 Al MAS-NMR spectra of the Oxisols showed that the 0.01 million years (Ma) Oxisol contained both octahedral and tetrahedral Al, while the 1.33 Ma Oxisol contained only Al-O octahedrons. The results showed that the amounts of both exchangeable and soluble Al released from 0.01 Ma Oxisol were greater than those from 1.33 Ma Oxisol when the soils were acidified to the same pH. The results from minerals and soils confirmed that Al in Al-O tetrahedrons was more readily released into solution and exchangeable sites as soluble Al and exchangeable Al than that in Al-O octahedrons during the acidification of soils and minerals. The results of this study will provide useful references for investigating the mechanisms of solid phase Al release in different soil types and for mitigating soil acidification and inhibiting Al activation.

Al powder is prone to oxidation, which can introduce impurities in powder metallurgy. In this study, Al 2 O 3 nanonetworks were obtained by destroying the oxide layer through Paulse Activated Sintering (PAS). The network and the nano-precipitation enhance the mechanical properties of Al-Cu-O composites. TEM analysis revealed the formation of CuAl 2 and an Al 2 O 3 network at the grain boundaries. The current facilitated the modulation of the intermetallic compound size and the fragmentation of the oxide layer. The current-induced discharge at the particle interfaces generated localized heating. Higher temperature effectively disrupts the oxide layer. The Al 2 O 3 network improved the fracture toughness of the Al-Cu-O composites by passivating crack propagation. Simultaneously, the current reduced the nucleation barrier for precipitation by promoting directional atomic migration. Uniformly dispersed nano-precipitates are conducive to the improvement of strength. This study provides new insights into oxidation-related challenges in Al powder.

High level of aluminum content in Enteromorpha prolifera posed a growing threat to both its growth and human health. This study focused on exploring the factors, impacts, and process of removing aluminum from Enteromorpha prolifera using humic acid. The results showed that under experimental conditions of 0.0330 g·L−1 humic acid concentration, pH 3.80, 34 °C, and a duration of 40 min, the removal rate was up to 80.18%. The levels of major flavor components, proteins, and amino acids in Enteromorpha prolifera increased significantly after treatment, while polysaccharides and trace elements like calcium and magnesium decreased significantly. Infrared spectroscopy demonstrated that the main functional groups involved in binding with Al3+ during humic acid adsorption were hydroxyl, carboxyl, phenol, and other oxygen-containing groups. The adsorption process of Al3+ by humic acid was a spontaneous phenomenon divided into three key stages: fast adsorption, slow adsorption, and adsorption equilibrium, which resulted from both physical and chemical adsorption effects. This study provided a safe and efficient method in algae metal removal.

To investigate the differences in combustion and energy release characteristics of metastable intermolecular composite materials composed of aluminum alloys and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with different compositions, two types of alloys were selected: Al-Mg and Al-Si. Pure aluminum powder of the same size was also chosen for comparison. The PVDF-coated metal particle composites and the mixtures of PVDF with metal particles were prepared using electrospray (ES) and physical blending methods (PM), respectively. A systematic study was conducted on the morphology, compositional structure, combustion performance, energy release characteristics, and thermal reactivity of the fabricated composites and their combustion products through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), combustion performance experiments, closed vessel pressure tests, and simultaneous thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC). The experimental results indicated that the PVDF-coated metal particles prepared by the electrospray method exhibited a distinct core-shell structure, with the metal particles in close contact with the PVDF matrix. Compared to the PM blended materials, the ES composites demonstrated superior combustion performance and energy release characteristics during combustion. Analysis of different metal fuel systems under identical preparation conditions revealed that Al-Mg and Al-Si fuels modulate the combustion and energy release properties of aluminum alloy-PVDF MICs through two distinct pathways.
