The whole MSIT^® warmly congratulates its young member on earning the well-deserved title of Doctor. Danilo Alencar de Abreu defended his PhD thesis summa cum laude at Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg. This significant achievement is a testament to your dedication, hard work, and intellectual rigor throughout your doctoral journey.

His dissertation, entitled “Development of thermodynamic database for the Li₂O–Al₂O₃–SiO₂–MnO_x system: application for Li recycling”, was conducted as part of Priority Program 2315 of the German Research Foundation, 'Engineered Artificial Minerals (EnAM)', aiming to develop a thermodynamic database for modeling of Li-recycling.

This research significantly contributes to understanding the phase relations in the selected subsystems within the Li₂O–Al₂O₃–SiO₂–MnO_x systems. The experimental findings, including phase equilibria data and heat capacities for LiAl₅O₈, LiAlO₂, Li₈SiO₆ and LiMnO₂, along with available earlier information, have become a basis for the developed thermodynamic database. This database is of significant importance for further progress in Li-recycling.

We also express our sincere congratulations to Danilo’s supervisor and our esteemed MSIT^® member – PD Dr. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Olga Fabrichnaya from Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg – for her exceptional mentorship. We deeply appreciate your ongoing commitment to sharing your expertise in phase diagrams and thermodynamics with your students, especially in such a complex field as oxides.

The whole MSIT^® wishes Danilo continued success and fulfillment in all his future pursuits. Your accomplishment is truly commendable and sets a strong foundation for your future academic and professional endeavors.
