Abstract: The invention discloses a method about the integration of the metallurgical purification of metallic gadolinium and the preparation of gadolinium oxide nanoparticles (GONPs) by arc plasma. The method includes the metallurgical purification and the nanoparticle preparation. Firstly, the gadolinium ingot and a tungsten rod respectively act as an anode and a cathode. After the arc furnace is evacuated and then is filled with a working atmosphere, impurities in the gadolinium ingot are removed in the form of volatilization to obtain purified gadolinium by the first arc discharge. Whereafter, the purified gadolinium and the tungsten rod are used as the anode and cathode. After the arc furnace also is evacuated and then also is filled with a working atmosphere, GONPs are obtained from the inner wall of the arc furnace though the second arc discharge. The metallurgical purification of metallic gadolinium and the preparation of GONPs were integrated by arc plasma.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for production of nitrogen-doped single wall carbon nanohorns from anode graphite of wasted lithium-ion batteries. The method includes the following steps: a first step: forming recycled graphite powder into graphite blocks; and, a second contact step: when the first step is completed, using a DC arc plasma device to produce the graphite blocks into N-SWCNHs.
