Due to the lack of mineral sources of Vanadium (V) in many parts of the world and its recent applications in the field of medicine (as an anti-tumor agent), one of the biggest sources of V is the extraction of V as VO from steel slag in melting process. In this study, the pyro-hydrometallurgical process has been investigated for the extraction of V from steel slag created in a convertor. To get an optimum process of salt roasting, the effect of roasting temperature, time, salt value, slag particle size, and cooling method have been investigated. For this purpose, slag samples were roasted with sodium carbonate and then dissolved in water. The amount of VO obtained by optical spectrometry is the efficiency criterion of this process. Results showed that the optimum condition for the extraction of VO from steel slag was 15 wt % of NaCO as a salt roasting agent and hating for 60 min at 1100 °C.

Harmless and efficient nickel enrichment from nickel-containing waste slag using vitrification technology.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

January 2025

Qingdao Qingli Environmental Protectionquipmen Co, LTD, Jiaozhou, 266300, China.

With the growing demand for nickel in the stainless steel and battery industries, conventional methods of extracting nickel from ores face challenges such as high production costs and environmental concerns. This study proposes a new process for the recovery of nickel metal and the production of nickel-iron alloys from nickel-bearing scrap. The reduction rates of nickel and iron oxides were investigated by optimizing the roasting temperature, time, and C/O ratio, and the process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM).

The inhibitory potential of an alcoholic extract derived from Canarium strictum leaves (CSL) was evaluated as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel (MS) in 15% HCl solution. Furthermore, to enhance its inhibition effectiveness, the influence of potassium iodide (KI) was also examined. The corrosion inhibition and adsorption characteristics of CSL were comprehensively analysed through weight loss measurement, electrochemical impedance measurement (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PP), UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS).

Acoustic Measures According to Speaker Gender Identity: Differences and Correlation With Vocal Satisfaction.

J Voice

January 2025

Universidade Estadual de Campinas - UNICAMP, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. Electronic address:

Objective: To analyze acoustic measures of speech and vowel samples from individuals of different genders and to correlate these acoustic measures with vocal satisfaction. This study aims to provide additional data on acoustic measures, serving as references for clinicians while emphasizing the importance of moving beyond cisgender norms. Additionally, it addresses a gap in the Brazilian context by exploring correlations between acoustic measures and self-perceived vocal satisfaction across diverse gender groups.

The objective of the study was to synthesize tetrazole molecules featuring nitro groups positioned at the para and meta locations. We aimed to assess their effectiveness in inhibiting corrosion of mild steel in a 1 M HCl solution at 298 K. Tetrazoles with 2,5-disubstitution were created using [3 + 2] cycloaddition and N-alkylation techniques, with a particular emphasis on synthesizing molecules that contain nitro groups.

Evaluation of tooth-specific optical properties for the development of a non-invasive pulp diagnostic system using Transmitted-light plethysmography: An in vitro study.

Arch Oral Biol

January 2025

Department of Pediatric Dentistry/Dentistry for Persons with Special Needs, Division of Oral Restitution, Graduate School, Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan.

Objectives: Transmitted-light plethysmography (TLP) is an objective and non-invasive pulp diagnosis method that has already been validated for applications for incisors. However, there is a demand for TLP use in the molars, it has not yet been established for this application. This study investigated the optimal light source wavelengths for TLP in premolars, to establish a pulp diagnosis system based on measuring pulpal blood flow.
