The solid electrolytes based on sodium cryolite are present in aluminium electrolysers as frozen crystals formed on the side walls of the carbon lining (side ledge). Their main task is to protect the lining from the effect of liquid electrolyte and ensure temperature stabilization during the process of electrolysis. On the other hand, being electrically conductive, they can reduce the current efficiency. In this study, the value of the electronic component of the total conductivity of the solidified electrolytes of different compositions was determined. It was found that the highest electronic conductivity is exhibited by electrolytes containing both aluminium and calcium fluoride. However, the electronic component of the total conductivity is not high and reaches 0.1-2.3 mS/cm. Its share in the total conductivity of the solid multi-component electrolytes varies and, depending on their composition, is in the range of 1 ÷ 10%.

The European Union has established strict requirements for the recycling of spent batteries and accumulators. In Poland, this waste is currently recycled pyrometallurgically solely for Cd, Zn, Pb and ferronickel recovery. However, waste cells (Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Li-ion) represent a source of strategic metals (Ni, Co, Li). This paper shows an analysis of the market and applications of nickel and Li-ion batteries as well as current state of domestic collection and recycling of spent cells.

The paper shows a review of the literature data on the possibilities of indium recovery from ITO layers of waste LCD and LED displays. A short characterization of indium, its compounds, resources, production and applications are presented. Structure and operation of LCD displays were shown. Detailed analysis of ITO leaching, methods of indium(III) ions separation from the leachate solutions (SX, HoLLE, IX) as well as recovery of final products (precipitation, cementation, electrowinning) were discussed.

The global requirements on lower fuel consumption and emissions are increasing the demand for lowering the weight of cast components. Reducing the wall thickness of cast components is one way of achieving this. The aim of this work was to investigate castability of 17-4PH stainless steel in thin-walled test geometries (less than 2mm). The casting trials were performed to investigate the fluidity as a function of casting temperature, mold preheat temperature and filling systems in thin-walled sections. It was observed that fluidityin a top-gated configuration is strongly affected by casting temperature, however, effect of mold pre heat temperature on fluidity was not significant. On the other hand, castings made in bottom-gated configuration were more stable and fluidity was not significantly affected by variation in casting temperature and mold preheat temperature. Less porosityand flow-related defects were observed in the bottom-gated system as compared to top-gated system.

The paper presents the results of determination the effect of addition native starch and mineral-starch mixes on selected technological properties of sands. Study was carried out on permeability, compressive strength and wear resistance of molding. Green sand with bentonite and silica sand was compared with green sand with addition Superior Standard native starch or addition of mineral-starch composition in form of binder Albertine F/1. The main difference in applied starch materials is characteristic property of native starch, which is un-soluble in cold water, so in this case it was difficult to bond water added to the moulding sand during mixing of ingredients. However Albertine F/1 starch-based binder is mixture of starch and aluminosilicates, whereby the bonding of water added into moulding sand during ingredients mixing is more efficient.

Other than granular and dispersive microstructures, the lamellar microstructure is one of the most-frequently observed traits in the case of metal alloys. This work defines a geometrical model of a lamellar microstructure and presents its stereological relationships as well as our computersimulation results for this model. The applied methodology creates – at least from a theoretical point of view – a series of interesting possibilities in the field of quantitative description of this type of microstructure and examinations of the properties of the parameter estimators that quantitatively characterize it.

Results of compression and corrosion resistance tests of NiAl alloys with 1.0 and 2.0 wt.% of titanium are described. The compression tests conducted in a wide range of temperature and strain rate showed that increase of titanium content causes increase of brittleness at room temperature, while at higher temperatures an increase of hardness and strength is observed. The analysis of electrochemical corrosion resistance showed that the alloys containing Ti are characterized by considerable resistance to sulfuric acid VI, because the emerging titanium oxide prevents active solubilizing of the alloy. Besides, microstructure observations performed at various levels of deformation which allowed to identify mechanisms responsible for fracture of the studied alloys.

The casting workshop in Grzybiany is one of the most important archaeological sites in regards to casting technology from the Bronze and Early Iron Ages. During the “Grzybiany. Osada nadjeziorna z epoki brązu i zelaza” [Grzybiany. Lakeside settlement from the Bronze and Early Iron Ages] research, the structure of casting moulds was analyzed as well as the chemical composition and microstructure of one of the more-interesting metal artefacts found within the workshop. Based on this, geometric visualization was performed with the help of computer-modeling methods. For scientific, experimental, and educational purposes, reconstruction of a zoomorphic pendant was performed using the lost-wax method. Wax models injected into a matrix were used, along with fired ceramic (gypsum) moulds and a specially prepared modeling alloy that corresponds to the original material. In this way, a true replica of the original was obtained: technologically, structurally and chemically. Studies of production technology of the casting workshop dated back to the Bronze and Early Iron Age help to increase the knowledge of the mould-preparing technology and the alloys used. Modern tools and computer programs aid in the research of old technologies and help disseminate the results.
