Materials | Free Full-Text | Zirconia–Alumina Composites Obtained by Centrifugal Slip Casting as Attractive Sustainable Material for Application in Construction
This paper focuses on the possibility of adapting the centrifugal slip casting method to obtain zirconia–alumina composite materials in the form of finished tube-shaped products. These types of products, due to their unique properties, can be utilised, for example, in the transport of aggressive substances, even in extreme temperatures or corrosive conditions. The study reports on the two series of zirconia–alumina composites differing in the content of ZrO2—2.5 and 25 vol%. The fabricated and sintered materials were characterised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and stereological analysis. Moreover, a life cycle assessment (LCA) was provided in accordance with the requirements of the ISO 14044 and EN 15805 standards. The obtained data clearly show that the centrifugal slip casting method allows obtaining samples with high density and extremely uniform distribution of the ZrO2 phase in the alumina matrix. The stereological analysis results proved also that the addition of ZrO2…
CEFC outlines $7.8 billion circular economy investment pipeline
The Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) is eyeing off a $7.8 billion circular economy investment pipeline that could drive emissions from landfill down by as much as 60 per cent and create thousands of jobs in the regions.
The report, compiled with the help of global engineering services firm Arup, canvasses investment opportunities for Australia’s green bank in the recycling, organics, bioenergy and thermal energy from waste sectors.
According to the organisation, new and expanded infrastructure requirements to close the loop on key waste streams have the potential to generate between $4 billion and $7.8 billion in new investment up to 2025.
