The results show that the actual precipitation potential of Sr reduces by nearly 0.5 V because of the depolarization effects of Sr activity reduced by forming Mg-Sr alloy. The codeposition potential condition of Mg and Sr to form Mg-Sr alloy is as follows: When electrode potential is more negative than -1.5 V, the magnesium will precipitate; when electrode potential is more negative than -2.0 V, the magnesium and strontium will both deposit. The control step of codeposition process of Mg and Sr is not diffusion control step. The codeposition current condition of Mg and Sr to form Mg-Sr alloy by chronoptentiometry is as follows: cathode current densities are higher than 0.71, 1.57 and 2.83 A/cm^2 in MgCl2-SrCl2-KCl melts with MgCl2 concentrations of 2%, 5% and 10% (mass fraction), respectively.

The effect of oxide and fluoride addition on the electrolysis was investigated comprehensively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to characterize some of the Mg-La alloy products and the sludges. As the content of MgO or La203 in the electrolyte increased, both the current efficiency and the mass of alloy product decreased, indicating that both MgO and La203 may take part in the reactions in the electrolyte. When the same mass of the oxide was added, compared with La203, MgO had a more pronounced effect on both the current efficiency and the mass of alloy product. XRD studies confirmed the formation of LaOC1 when MgO or LazO3 was added into the electrolyte. The formation of LaOCl sludge would be the main reason for the negative effect of the oxide addition on both the current efficiency and the mass of alloy. In the electrolytic system, the addition of CaF2 was not helpful to suppress the negative effect of MgO on the electrolysis, probably due to the complex reactions of the La compounds in the electrolyte.展开更多

The microstructure of the Mg-Li-Gd alloys was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that magnesium and gadolinium deposit mainly in the first 30 min, and the alloy obtained contains 96.53% Mg, 0.27% Li and 3.20% Gd (mass fraction). Then, the reduction of lithium ions occurs quickly. The composition of alloy can be adjusted by controlling electrolysis time or Gd 2 O 3 concentration in LiCl-KCl melts. With the addition of Gd into Mg-Li alloys, the corrosion resistance of the alloys is enhanced. XRD results suggest that Mg 3 Gd and Mg 2 Gd can be formed in Mg-Li-Gd alloys. The distribution of Gd element in Mg-Li-Gd alloys indicates that Gd element mainly distributes at the grain boundaries of Mg-Li-Gd alloys.展开更多

The results showed that the corrosion resistance in saline solution was the best resistance in the alloy (D) (A1-2% Cu-2% Mg-0.1% B-1.0% Ti) compared with the rest of bullion when an examination of corrosion of the alloy prepared after homogenizing. But by examining the surface roughness of the alloy ingot turned out that (D) is softer than the rest of the surface alloys and this is due to the addition of boron and titanium together increases surface smoothness in alloys because it works to reduce the grain size.展开更多

Unfortunately it has not been embraced by the power sector. One interesting source-sink combination, however, is formed by magnesium silicate resources at Vammala, located -85 km east of the 565 MWe coal-fired Meri-Pori Power Plant on the country's southwest coast. This paper assesses mineral sequestration of Meri-Pori power plant CO2, using Vammala mineral resources and the mineralisation process under development at Abo Akademi University. That process implies Mg(OH)E production from magnesium silicate-based rock, followed by gas/solid carbonation of the Mg(OH)2 in a pressurised fluidised bed. Reported are results on experimental work, i.e., Mg(OH)2 production, with rock from locations close to Meri-Pori. Results suggest a total CO2 fixation capacity -50 Mt CO2 for the Vammala site, although production of Mg(OH)2 from rock from the site is challenging. Finally, as mineralisation could be directly applied to flue gases without CO2 pre-capture, we report from experimental work on carbonation of Mg(OH)2 with CO2 and CO2-SO2-O2 gas mixtures. Results show that SO2 readily reacts with Mg(OH)2, providing an opportunity to simultaneously capture SO2 and CO2, which could make separate flue gas desulphurisation redundant.展开更多
