The compositional dependence of bismuth iron oxides and effect of La-substitutions in the structure of $BiFeO_3$ compounds were investigated, which compounds were synthesized by conventional ceramic processing. It is shown that some of bismuth iron oxides including $BiFeO_3$ show the narrow single phase region. The effect of La-doping in $BiFeO_3$ was presented as disappearance of many impurity phases of Bi-Fe-O compounds. The lower electrical resistivity was obtained as those compositions of Fe deficient region and La-doped $BiFeO_3$. The saturation magnetization of La-doped $BiFeO_3$ was increased with La content. The dielectric dispersion was also observed for those Bi-Fe-O compounds with Fe deficient and La-doped $BiFeO_3$ at low frequencies under 1 kHz.

The pure $LiFePO_4$, carbon added $LiFePO_4(LiFePO_4/C$) and pyrene added $LiFePO_4(LiFePO_4/P$) are synthesized by using solid-state reaction. XRD patterns show no impurity phase in the three kinds of the cathode materials. The 10wt% pyrene added $LiFePO_4$ shows around 140mAh/g of discharge capacity at 3rd cycle compared to the pure $LiFePO_4$. The carbon added $LiFePO_4$ shows 145mAh/g of discharge capacity at 3rd cycle and stable cycle-life compared to the others.

Based on first-principles calculations, we study the magnetic properties of Co, Ni, Fe, V, and Mn impurities in ZnO. The stabilities of the ferromagnetic state and the magnetic moment of each impurity largely depend on the amount of doped electron or hole. For lightly doped n-type ZnO, it is found that the doping of Ni ions is the most effective for inducing ferromagnetism, while Fe ions show the most stable ferromagnetic couplings for heavily doped n-type samples. The characteristics of the magnetic interactions of Co ions are similar with those of Fe ions, but Co ions require much larger amount of doped electron than Fe ions to show the ferromagnetic couplings. The ferromagnetic coupling between Mn and V ions is unstable in n-type conditions.

Comprehensive utilization of tungsten tailings resources not only solves environmental problems but also creates huge economic benefits. The high content of iron impurity in tungsten tailings will have adverse effect on the downstream comprehensive utilization, whether flotation or pickling. In this paper, the Superconducting High Gradient Magnetic Separation(S-HGMS) is used to remove of Fe impurities from tungsten tailings. The optimal experimental parameters are as follows: background magnetic induction intensity is 3.0T, slurry flow velocity is 500ml/min. The Fe removal rate of Fe was 68.8% and the recovery rate was 59.53%.

The Fe-component of pyrophyllite is an impurity that reduces its grade in the final product. In order to identify the amount of impurity in pyrophyllite and to remove the Fe from the ore using a dry method, microwave heating and magnetic separation were carried out. Pyrite and hematite were identified to contain pyrophyllite by microscopy, XRD, XRF, SEM/EDS and EPMA analysis. It is suggested that the euhedral pyrite in the pyrophyllite is formed by hydrothermal solution, and then the dissolution cavity structure is formed with a partial remainder of the pyrite which dissolved in acidic water. And the $Fe^{3+}$ ion contained in the acidic water precipitated out in the concentric structure of hematite as the origin of sedimentary structure. As a result of the microwave heating and magnetic separation experiments, the Fe removal rates obtained were 96% and 93% from pyrophyllite ore from the Sunsan mine and Wando mine, respectively. It is confirmed that the microwave heating and magnetic separation method was an environmentally friendly method to upgrade the low-grade pyrophyllite.

Microstructure of A356 aluminium alloys cast in a permanent mold was investigated by optical microscope and image analyzer, with particular respect to the shape and size distribution of iron intermetallics known as ${\beta}-phase$ ($Al_5FeSi$). Morphologies of the ${\beta}-phase$ was found to change gradually with the Be:Fe ratio like these. In Be-free alloys, ${\beta}-phase$ with needlelike morphology was well developed, but script phase was appeared when the Be:Fe ratio is above 0.2:1. With the Be:Fe ratios of 0.4:1-1:1, script phase as well as Be-rich phase was also observed. In case of higher Be addition, above 1:1, Be-rich phase was observed on all regions of the specimens, and increasing of the Be:Fe ratios gradually make the Be-rich phase coarse. It was also observed that the ${\beta}-phase$ with needlelike morphology was coarsened with increase of the Fe content in Be-free alloys. However, in Be-added alloys, length and number of these ${\beta}-phases$ were considerably decreased with the increased Be:Fe ratio. It was concluded that Fe impurity element to be crystallized into needlelike intermetallics was tied up by Be addition element, and new phases were crystallized into script or Be-rich intermetallics.

The sulfidation behaviour of Fe-XAl-0.3Y(X=5, 10, 14, 25 $wt.\%$) alloys was investigated at 1123 K in $H_2/H_{2}S$ gas atmosphere for $1\sim24$ hrs using SEM/EDX, XRD and EPMA. The weight changes of Fe-XAl-0.3Y alloys followed the parabolic rate law, Sulfidation rates of iron aluminide alloys with high Al content were one-twentieth lower than that of 5Al alloys. This is due to the formation of protective $Al_{2}O_3$ oxides on the surface of 10Al, 14Al and 25Al alloys. By calculating partial pressure of impurity oxygen contained $H_2/H_{2}S$ gas, the $Al_{2}O_3$ oxides formation could be explained using Fe-Al-S-O thermodynamic stability diagram. The sulfidation product scales of the 5Al alloy showed that thick iron sulfide scale(FeS) containing porosities formed during early stages of sulfidation. With continued sulfidation, aluminum sulfide was formed at the alloy/scale interface.

Phospho-olivine $LiFePO_4$ cathode materials were prepared by hydrothermal reaction at different temperatures. The structural performance of $LiFePO_4$ powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). $LiFePO_4$/Li batteries were characterized electrochemically by charge/discharge experiments. The XRD results demonstrate that $LiFePO_4$ powder has an orthorhombic olivine-type structure with a space group of Pnmb. Among the synthesized cathode materials, $LiFePO_4$synthesized at $170^{\circ}C$ and subsequently annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ shows the best electrochemical properties. It shows initial discharge capacity of $167\;mAh\;g^{-1}$ (98% of the theoretical capacity) close to the theoretical capacity of $LiFePO_4$ ($170\;mAh\;g^{-1}$) at 0.1 C rate, which is ascribed to the enhanced degree of crystallinity, better phase purity, more spherical and more finely dispersed nanoparticles, crystallization and activation of small amount impurity.

This work focuses on eliminating tiny particles from the coolant in a nuclear pipe line by using a permanent magnet on the exterior surface of the pipe. This method have some merits compared with the many applied methods and is expected to be applied to most of the pipe lines in the nuclear plant. For instance in this method, a ring is attached to the exterior surface of the pipe, so that it does not affect the inflows directly. Further, the cost needed in the initial build-up of the facility is low.
