“…Zeolite matrices sintered by SPS convert to pollucite and nepheline, which cannot be used as adsorbents. 7,17 Among alternative methods, cold sintering is selected because of its very simple process; it employs an extraordinarily low temperature of <300 °C and several hundred MPa of pressure in an open system where reactive solvents are not essential. The cold sintering technique was developed by the Randall group in 2016 and has recently been applied to multiple fields, such as batteries, catalysts, varistors, and electrolytes.…”

“…Depending on the type of framework used, this material has numerous applications, specifically in separation, catalysis, and adsorption. Recently, the use of inorganic zeolite-based ion exchangers (IE-96) has increased in the nuclear industry owing to their higher radiation and thermal resistances than those of organic ion exchangers (IRN-77). − …”

“…In addition, the additional free space available after the removal of the binders is sometimes insufficient for use on a long-term industrial scale, necessitating a further increase in the heat-treatment temperature to increase the strength of the zeolite pellets; however, a higher temperature results in a phase transition to nepheline, which destroys the original porous structure of the zeolite . Therefore, alternative methods such as hydrothermal sintering, microwave sintering, spark plasma sintering (SPS), and cold sintering are considered emerging ways to fabricate strengthened zeolite pellets. ,− …”

Cold sintering, a novel low-temperature consolidation technique, has shown promising results in various inorganic materials. However, the application of this technique to nanoporous materials for energy and environmental fields is not yet fully understood. This study investigates the effects of cold sintering on the relative densities, compressive strengths, chemical durabilities, crystal structures, specific surface areas, and adsorption capacities of zeolites. Cold sintering at 200 °C achieved 10 to 20% greater densification than conventional high temperature (700 °C) sintering; however, the original nanoporous structure of dry cold sintered zeolite was not maintained. Introducing liquid agents during the cold sintering process resulted in reduced degradation of the SSA and increased densification. Using NaOH as the liquid agent increased the solubility of elements in zeolite, which promoted chemical mobility and achieved the highest relative density (96.7 ± 2.8%). However, soluble layers between the particles led to fragmentation, making it unsuitable for aqueous applications. Using H 2 O as the liquid agent resulted in a relative density of 90.4 ± 4.1% while maintaining the nanoporous properties and structural integrity of zeolite under water. The cesium adsorption capacity (19.0 ± 0.1 mg•g −1 ) was similar to that of conventional zeolite ion exchangers, indicating that cold sintering with H 2 O was an efficient, economical, and safer alternative to conventional high-temperature consolidation method. Our findings suggest that this cold sintering can be applied to other nanoporous materials, such as metal−organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks, in separation, catalysis, and adsorption applications.

“…Due to the accelerated densification and the fast-sintering cycles, SPS has become a leading method for producing transparent ceramic materials. The advantage of this method over others is that homogenous highly dense sintered compacts with finer microstructures are obtained faster and at lower temperatures than by conventional sintering methods [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ].…”

Non-Destructive Examination for Cavitation Resistance of Talc-Based Refractories with Different Zeolite Types Intended for Protective Coatings

et al. 2023

In many industrial processes that include fluid flow, cavitation erosion of different engineering structures (pumps, turbines, water levels, valves, etc.) during their operation is expected. Metallic, ceramic, and composite materials are usual candidates considered for application in such extreme conditions. In this study, the idea is to synthesize refractory ceramic material based on talc with the addition of zeolite for utilization as protective coatings in cavitating conditions. Two talc-based refractories with zeolites from two Serbian deposits were produced. The behaviors of the samples in simulated cavitation conditions were examined by an advanced non-destructive methodology consisting of monitoring mass loss and surface degradation using image analysis compiled with principal component analysis (PCA), interior degradation by ultrasonic measurements, and the microstructure by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Lower mass loss, surface degradation level, and modeled strength decrease indicated better cavitation resistance of the sample with Igros zeolite, whereby measured strength values validated the model. For the chosen critical strength, the critical cavitation period as well as critical morphological descriptors, Area and Diameter (max and min), were determined. A Young’s elasticity modulus decrease indicated that surface damage influence progressed towards interior of the material. It can be concluded that the proposed methodology approach is efficient and reliable in predicting the materials’ service life in extreme conditions.
