Eco-materials Processing & Design VI: Proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Eco-Materials Processing & Design, January 16-18, 2005, Jinju, Korea (Materials Science Forum,)

One hundred and sixty papers from the January 2005 symposium present recent research on photocatalysts, incorporating an end-of-life strategy into materials design, use of non-hazardous components, treatment of waste materials, environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, and energy conversion related materials. The contributors explore low temperature synthesis of zeolite using ultrasonic energy, fabrication of calcium-based fine ceramic materials by recycling eggshell, and synthesis and characterization of clay brick using coal wastes. Other topics include the compressive properties of open cell aluminum foams, the effect of organic additives in electrolytes for a rechargeable lithium/sulfur battery, and life cycle improvement assessment of aluminum and magnesium die-casting processes.
