Neutron Diffraction Texture Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the shape preferred orientation (SPO) is defined as the orientation of grains with anisotropic shape, whereas the lattice preferred orientation refers to the texture orientation of the crystal lattice.

Characterization of spent zinc–carbon and alkaline batteries by SEM-EDS, TGA/DTA and XRPD analysis
Girolamo Belardi,Paolo Ballirano,Mauro Ferrini,Roberto Lavecchia,Franco Medici,Luigi Piga,A. Scoppettuolo +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the status of zinc and manganese has been established to permit treating only the zinc-bearing components in a recovery process, thus using smaller equipments and reducing both the material to treat and the energy consumption.

TL;DR: In this paper, two different WC particle sizes (micro and nano-) and geometries have been employed to study the effects on the coating's properties, and results of various tests indicate that the coatings produced with high-energy flame are similar in behavior.
