Mechanisms of the cementitious properties and hydration process of lithium slag composite cement were studied by XRD and SEM. The results showed that specific surface area increased from 254 to 700 m2/kg while median particle size decreased from 14.97 to 8.45 urn with the increase of grinding time. Physical, chemical activation and combined activation improved the strength and hydration degree of lithium slag composite cement. Compared with original lithium slag, the flexural strength and compressive strength of mortars were improved significantly with the increase of grinding time. A higher strength of the cement with the lithium slag was attained; The sample with 10% lithium slag got the highest strength when the grinding time was 10 min; the compressive strength was higher than OPC at 28 days, which increased by 12.3%. When the Na2SO4 content was 0.6%, the compressive strength increased by 1.4%; when the Al2（SO4）3·18H2O content was 0.4%, the compressive strength increased by 5.8% at 28 days. Compared with the late strength, the improving degree of early strength was larger with the incorporation of activator. The results of XRD and SEM were consistent with the results of mechanical properties; it is also evident that lithium slag composite cement hydration products were mainly AFt, Ca（OH）2, CaSO4·2H2O, and C-S-H gel.展开更多

The feasibility of the process and the mechanism of copper loss in slag were investigated. 98.83% Co, 98.39% Ni and 93.57% Cu were recovered under the optimum conditions of slag former/battery mass ratio of 4.0：1, smelting temperature of 1723 K, and smelting mass ratio of time of 30 min. The FeO-SiO2-Al2O3 slag system for the smelting process is appropriate under the conditions of m（FeO）：m（SiO2）=0.58：1？1.03：1, and 17.19%？21.52% Al2O3 content. The obtained alloy was mainly composed of Fe-Co-Cu-Ni solid solution including small amounts of matte. The obtained slag mainly consisted of fayalite and hercynite. Meanwhile, the mechanism of copper loss is the mechanical entrainment from strip-like fayalite particles in the main form of copper sulfide and metallic copper.展开更多
