Pre-processing of coal combustion fly ash by classification for enrichment of rare earth elements
Lanzerstorfer, Christof - In: Energy Reports 4 (2018), pp. 660-663
Fly ash from the combustion of coal shows potential as a source of valuable metals like the rare earth elements (REEs). These are present in the fly ash at low concentrations. Thus, simple dry pre-processing methods that can produce REE-enriched fractions from the fly ash could improve the...

EFFECT OF COATING CONTENT ON THE PROPERTIES OF A1(OH)3–Y(OH)3/ZrB2 COMPOSITE PARTICLES
SONG, JIE-GUANG; ZHANG, LIAN-MENG; LI, JUN-GUO; SONG, … - In: Surface Review and Letters (SRL) 14 (2007) 03, pp. 445-449
Zirconium diboride is widely applied to high-temperature materials, but it is easily oxidized at high temperature. To increase the oxidation resistance of zirconium diboride at high temperature, the A1(OH)3–Y(OH)3 is coated on the ZrB2 surface to prepare A1(OH)3–Y(OH)3/ZrB2 composite...
