Solar Aluminum Production by Vacuum Carbothermal Reduction of Alumina—Thermodynamic and Experimental Analyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Thermochemical equilibrium calculations indicate the possibility of significantly lowering the onset temperature of aluminum vapor formation via carbothermal reduction of Al2O3 by decreasing the total pressure, enabling its vacuum distillation while ...

THE CARBOTHERMIC REDUCTION OF URANIUM OXIDE

open access: yes, 1957
Uranium oxide has been reduced by carbon under vacuum at 225O deg C, to yield a product consisting of dendritic uranium carbide in a matrix of uranium. Uranium sponge is obtained from this cermet by hydrolyzr-ng the interconnected UC. This is followed by pickling in dilute nitric acid to remove the residual hydrolysis product UO/sub 2/ x H/sub 2/O from

Refining of metallurgical-grade silicon [PDF]

open access: yes
A basic requirement of large scale solar cell fabrication is to provide low cost base material. Unconventional refining of metallurical grade silicon represents one of the most promising ways of silicon meltstock processing. The refining concept is based

The electrochemical generation of useful chemical species from lunar materials [PDF]

open access: yes
Electrochemical cells have been fabricated for the simultaneous generation of oxygen and lithium from a Li2O containing molten salt (Li2O-LiCl-LiF). The cell utilizes an oxygen vacancy conducting solid electrolyte, yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), to ...
