It is widely recognized that conventional means for determining the minimum ignition energy(MIE) of powder are time-consuming and require operational skill. As a variety of new fine powders are being produced day by day in industry, there is an urgent need to a quicker and more economical means to measure MIE. To meet this requirement, we have developed a measurement system which employs a novel method to create an air/dust mixture in a miniature combustion box. In this system, the powder to be tested input into a hopper made of metal mesh, and successively fed downward to form a thin, curtain-like dust/air mixture by vibration. With this new apparatus, three type of powders -Lycopodium, Anthraquinone, and Polyacrylonitrile-were tested and the MIE data were compared with those taken with a conventional apparatus(the Hartmann tube). Two of them agreed satisfactory, but the other, anthraquinone, showed quite different values supposedly due to the agglomeration of the powder particles by static-charge.

Al2O3-20 wt% ZrO2 composite powders to be used as the starting materials of the Al2O3/ZrO2-Spinel composite system were prepared by the use of the emulsion-hot kerosene drying method. The crystalline phase of ZrO2 in the synthesized Al2O3-ZrO2 composite powders was 100% tetragonal but the small amount of t-ZrO2 was transformed into m-ZrO2 after crushing. The hardness, fracture toughness, and flexural strength of the composite, which was sintered at 1650$^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs after calcining at 1100$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs and had the relative density of 99%, were 15.7 GPa, 4.97 MN/m3/2, and 390 MPa, respectively. The fracture form in the sintered composites was found to be the intergranular fracture.

The nature and composition of the surfaces of silicon nitride and β-Sialon powders were investigated using high voltage and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). β-Sialon powder was produced from Hadong kaolin by the carbothermic reduction and simultaneous nitridation. XPS showed that Al was contained in the surface of β-Sialon powder besides Si, N and O components, which is different from that of silicon nitride. It was supposed that Al in the surface of β-Sialon was bonded with oxygen from the oxygen-nitrogen ratio and the measurement of Al 2p binding energies. After both silicon nitride and β-Sialon powders were oxidized at 800℃ for 24h in air, nitrogen didn't exist in the surfaces and the depth of the oxide layer increased. The measurement of Si 2p binding energies showed that the chemical shifts occurred from Si3N2O and/or Si2N2O to SiO2 phase.

A turbo classifier having a rotating rotor of two stage classification region has been developed to have a cut size of 1 micro meter. Particle number concentrations were counted using Aerosol Particle Sizer (APS, TSI co., USA) at inlet and outlet of the classifier. Partial classification efficiency was obtained at various rotation speeds, total flow rates, and feed rates of powders, and classification characteristic depending on design parameters was discussed. Classification performance was enhanced as rotation speed of rotor increased and total flow rate decreased.

Fine powders of Mn-Zn ferrite were prepared by the alcoholic dehydration method and densification beha-vior of synthesized powder was investigated. The concentration and pH of solution for optimal precipitation was 0.4M and 2.5 respectively. The spinel single phase metastable state was formed by thermal decom-position of precipitate and then spinel phase was disintegrated into hematite and spinel {{{{ { { ZnFe}_{2 }O }_{4 } }} at 600$^{\circ}C$ With increase of temperature reaction of solid solution between hematite and spinel was proceeded and resulted in the spinel single phase (Mn, Zn Fe){{{{ { {Fe }_{2 }O }_{4 } }} On account of high reactivity of uncalcined powders densification started at 200$^{\circ}C$ lower and completed at 50$^{\circ}C$ lower in comparison with calcined powders.

Mullite powders were synthesized from the common solution of aluminum sulfate and sodium silicate solutions by the emulsion-hot kerosene technique. The reaction temperature and mechanism for mullitization and the characteristics of synthesized mullite powders were investigated. The effect of Na components introduced from sodium silicate solution on the physical property and microstructure of sintered mullite was also examined. It was proved that mullites were formed at 75$0^{\circ}C$ through the reaction mechanism of Na2O.2.2SiO2＋3.3Al2(SO4)3longrightarrow1.1(3Al2O3.2SiO2)＋Na2SO4＋8.9SO3. Synthetic mullite powders consisted of the compositiion of 3Al2O3.2SiO2 and showed highly agglomeration of hollow spherical particles of 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ diameter. The density and fracture toughness of sintered mullites were somewhat reduced because of the effect of a very small amount of residual Na components.

Spinel powders were synthesized at the comparatively low-temperature range(800~90$0^{\circ}C$) by the emulsion-hot kerosene drying method and the effects of kerosene-evaporative conditions on powder characteristics were investigated. In emulsion drying, more unagglomerated and sinterable powders could be synthesized through rapid evaporation of emulsion at the higher kerosene temperature. The completion of formation reaction of spinel observed at the low-temperature range confirmed the high reactivity of powders. The relative theoretical density and the fracture toughness of spinel pellets sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 4hrs. were 98% and 2.1MN/m3/2, respectively.

Ni-diamond composite powders with nickel layer of round-top type on the surface of synthetic diamond (140/170 mesh) were prepared by the electroless plating method (EN) with semi-batch reactor. The effects of nickel concentration, feeding rates of reductant, temperature, reaction time and stirring speeds on the weight percentage and morphology of deposited Ni, mean particle size and specific surface area of the composite powders were investigated by Atomic Adsortion Spectrometer, SEM-EDX, PSA and BET. It was found that nucleated Ni-P islands, acted as catalytic sites for further deposition and grown into these relatively thick layers with nodule-type on the surface of diamond by a lateral growth mechanism. The weight percentage of Ni in the composite powder increased with reaction time, feeding rate of reductant and temperature, but decreased with stirring speed. The weight percentage of Ni in Ni-diamond composite powder was 55% at 150 min., 200 rpm and 7$0^{\circ}C$ .
