Early-stage recovery of lithium from spent batteries via CO2-assisted leaching optimized by response surface methodology by Ksenija Milicevic Neumann, Muhammad Ans, Bernd Friedrich

“…This study addresses a cost-effective and environmentally friendly early-stage lithium recovery from the thermally conditioned black mass. In this sense, a thermally conditioned black mass is subjected to the carbonization process in a water solution to transform the water-insoluble Li phase into soluble lithium bicarbonate (LiHCO3) and carbonate (Li2CO3) facilitating its selective separation from other elements. …”

Optimized Heat Distributions for Laser-Assisted Forming by Ferdinand Bammer

“…This work discusses such an optimization of the temperature distribution to save energy, to avoid unnecessary changes of the material properties, and to minimize thermally induced deformations. The findings are demonstrated on a statically determined quasi 1D-problem, namely, 3-point-bending, and showed for a certain material law (modelling a dual phase steel of type DP1000) that the concentration of heat on the central line of the forming area is counter-productive and that the necessary energy can be significantly reduced with a well-defined heating strategy. …”

Hierarchical relationship of nonlocal correlations in Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime by Huimin Yao, Li Zhang, Cuihong Wen, Jieci Wang

“…It is demonstrated that the NAQC and Bell nonlocality provide a more rigorous characterization of physically inaccessible quantum properties than coherence, as classical information cannot be transmitted across the thermally opaque membrane. Furthermore, when considering an effective equilibrium temperature, an enhancement in quantum nonlocality with increasing temperature is observed, which challenges the conventional understanding that the Hawking effect solely diminishes quantum nonlocality. …”
