Li4SiO4 powder with a purity of 99.9% was fabricated by Alfa Aesar. PVA with a molecular weight between 31000 and 50000 manufactured by Sigma-Aldrich was used as binder material. PVA solutions prepared by dissolving PVA powder in distilled water with different
PVA amounts in the solution of 5, 10, and 15%. Li4SiO4 slurry was prepared by mixing Li4SiO4 powder and PVA solution.
Hi
Fisrst of all It's important to note that these calculations assume that the PVA and Li4SiO4 are homogeneously mixed in the slurry, and there is no loss during the preparation process. Additionally, you need to have the total weight of the slurry to perform these calculations.
Now Let:
* Li4SiO4WLi4SiO4 be the weight of Li4SiO4 powder.
* PVAWPVA be the weight of PVA.
* slurryWslurry be the total weight of the slurry.
The PVA solution is prepared with different PVA amounts (5%, 10%, and 15% by weight). So, if you have a certain amount of Li4SiO4 powder, you can calculate the weight of PVA and the total slurry weight using the specified PVA percentages.
