Spodumene is a fairly prevalent mineral, but mostly dull and uninteresting in its most common forms. However, its two distinctly colored transparent varieties, Kunzite (pink) and Hiddenite (green) are very aesthetic and valued as gemstones. Hiddenite is much rarer than Kunzite, and can is highly valued, especially the deeper green color forms.

The (1 1 0) α-spodumene peak at 14.49° 2θ gradually decreases as the temperature exceeds 975 °C. This decrease corresponds to a similar change in the (0 0 2) α-spodumene peak at 36.5° 2θ that disappears by 975 °C. The (3 1 0) α-spodumene peak reaches its first maximum at 900 °C before its sharp decline at 925 °C. The (0 2 0) peak, …

Specific heat is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. It plays a crucial role in understanding how different materials respond to heating and cooling and describes their ability to store and release thermal energy.For example, water has a higher specific …
1. Introduction. Due to its unique physical and chemical properties such as high specific heat, high conductivity, and strong chemical activity (Ebensperger A et al., 2005; Swain B, 2017; Zhang SJ et al., 2020), lithium has gradually expanded its application fields from traditional industries such as glass, ceramics, aluminum smelting and …

Reduce heat losses and guarantee silo durability are the main objectives of current research efforts. The heat exchanger must provide heat to the power block as quickly as possible and in the shortest possible length. The heat exchanger is expected to be one of the most expensive parts of the system, so making it smaller is highly desirable.
