Soil dispersion and heavy metal leaching with two heavy metal-contaminated soils were studied to derive the optimal dispersion condition in the course of developing the remedial technology using magnetic separation. The dispersion solutions of pyrophosphate, hexametaphosphate, orthophosphate and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) at 1 - 200 mM and the pH of solutions was adjusted to be 9 - 12 with NaOH. The clay content of suspension as an indicator of dispersion rate and the heavy metal concentration of the solution were tested at the different pHs and concentrations of the dispersion solution during the experiment. The dispersion rate increased with increasing the pH and dispersion agent concentration of the solution. The dispersion efficiency of the agents showed as follows: pyrophosphate > hexametaphosphate > SDS > orthophosphate. Arsenic leaching was sharply increased at 50 mM of phosphates and 100 mM of SDS. The adsorption of $OH^-$, phosphates and dodecysulfate on the surface of Fe- and Mn-oxides and soil organic matter and the broken edge of clay mineral might decrease the surface charge and might increase the repulsion force among soil particles. The competition between arsenic and $OH^-$, phosphates and dodecylsulfate for the adsorption site of soil particles might induce the arsenic leaching. The dispersion and heavy metal leaching data indicate that pH 11 and 10 mM pyrophosphate is the optimum dispersion solution for maximizing dispersion and minimizing heavy metal leaching.

Magnetization of permanent magnet in the strong magnetic field is changeable. So the change of magnetization must be considered for the accurate analysis of the system with permanent magnets. But the hysteresis characteristice of permanent magnet cannot be represented in simple mathematical form. In this paper, Preisach model combined with finite element method which can describe the hysteresis phenomena is applied to analyze the permanent magnet system. To validate the method, it is applied to the force calculations between two magnets with different coercivities and the numerical results are compared with measured data.

The thin plate of Co-Ni-P was deposited on the polyester film by the electroless plating method. Through present experiments, deposition rates and metal compositions of the plates were determined according to compositions of solution, pH and temperature. Also, magnetic properties of plates were examined according to metal compositions. Considering magnetic properties and deposition rates of electroless plating, the best condition was obtained as pH of 8.5 and 90℃. It was observed that metal compositions were evidently varied by the pH of solutions and the concentration of complex agents. However. they were not affected by other factors. At the optimum condition, the composition of the plate was Co(78%), Ni(16%), and P(6%). Also, it was found that the coercive force was 370 Oe, and squareness was 0.65 at this condition. Magnetic properties (hard or soft) of thin plates were determined by metal compositions. Therefore. the plate became soft magnetic plate as the composition of nickel increased over 30 per cents. The crystal structure of the soft magnetic plate was found to be amorphous in which it was strongly oriented to the (111)phahe of nickel. On the ohter hand, the hard magnetic place was found to be hcp crystalline of α-cobalt which was oriented to the (101)phase of cobalt and the (100)phase of cobalt.

Magnetic properties of transition metal doped $La_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}(Mn_{0.98}TM_{0.02})O_3$(TM=Cr and Ti) are studied. The samples are synthesized by the conventional solid-state method. Using vibrating sample magnetometer magnetization-temperature measurement were carried out with zero field cooling and field cooling at 50 Oe. Cr-doped sample shows cluster or spin glass like behavior while Ti doped does not. Curie temperature obtained were decreased from that of LCMO(245.5 K). Curie temperatures of Cr-doped and Ti-doped samples are 235.5 K and 232.7 K, respectively. The temperature-dependent coercivity $H_c(T)$ was also measured. The coercive force continuously decreases with the substitution of Cr and Ti, The result can be understood in terms of the interaction between defect and domain wall.

Ba-Ferrite single crystals were prepared and characterized by X-ray, SEM and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The single crystal layers was cut in the c-axis and radiated to the surface by ${\gamma}-rays$ for Mossbauer spectroscopy. We found out that the spin states in Fe atoms were parallel to the ${\gamma}-rays$ direction. The temperature dependence of the hyperfine field is almost similar to that of powder samples. The crystal structure is a Magnetoplumbite without any other phases and the lattice parameters are found out with $a_0=5.892{\AA},\;b_0=5.892{\AA},\;c_0=23.198{\AA}$. $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectrum in single crystal have 5 sets off absorption lines in each Fe site when the ${\gamma}-rays$ have the same radiation direction with the c-axis in the crystal, which mean that the whole crystal bulk formed only one crystal and same spin direction. The hysteresis curve shows the saturation moment and coercive force of 70.71 emu/g and 320 Oe respectively.

It was investigated to obtain the relationship between magnetic properties and conditions of forming $Fe_{3}C$ single phase from acicular goethite by heat treatment under the atmosphere of CO and $N_{2}$ mixed gas. X-ray analyses, TEM and VSM measurements were imployed for the characteristics of the carbide. Acicular goethite was sinthesized under proper process parameters. $Fe_{3}C$ single phase was obtained above $550^{\circ}C$, 60min. and $Fe_{5}C_2$ was formed with $Fe_{3}C$ below that temperature. The soturation magnetization of $Fe_{3}C$ single phase was about 100emu/g regardless of the reaction temperature. The coersive force and the ratio of Mr/Ms decreased respectively from 780 to 400 Oe. and from 0.35 to 0.13 with increasing reaction temperature.

Iron nitride $Fe_4N$ by partial substitution of nitrogen by carbon was prepared by nitriding the iron oxalate whose thermal decomposition gives a carburating atmosphere. Iron oxalates, the precursors, were prepared by precipitation and co-precipitation. The size and shape of the carbonitride particles could be controlled by modifying the conditions of preparation of the oxalate precursor. From the results of electron micrographs, it is clear that the $Fe_4N$ pigment particle maintains the original shape(needle shape) of the starting materials and that it consists of fine unit particles which link together to form a stereo-network structure. An investigation of the $Fe^{II}_3\;Fe^I_{1-x}\;Sn_xN_{1-y}C_y$ solid solution has shown that Sn plays the role of a growth inhibitor of the elementary microcrystallites of the iron carbonitride. The coercive force and saturation magnetization of iron carbonitride obtained from co-precipitated iron oxalate were 500 Oe and 120 emu/g, respectively.

The powder mixture in which Fe-Ni alloy particles of 20 nm were homogeneously dispersed on $Al_2O_3$ particle surfaces was prepared by hydrogen reduction of $Al_2O_3$ and metal oxide powders. $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Ni nanocomposites fabricated by pressureless sintering were only composed of $Al_2O_3$ and ${gamma}$-Fe-Ni phases and achieved over 98% of the theoretical density at the sintering temperature above $1350^{\circ}C$. The highest strength and toughness of the composites were 574 MPa and 3.9 MP$a{\cdot}m1/2$, respectively. These values were about 20% higher than these of monolithic $Al_2O_3$ sintered at the same conditions. Nanocomposites showed ferromagnetic properties and coercive force was increased with decrease of the average particle size of dispersions.

Blends of elemental Ni and 20 weight % Cr powder were milled for different period in a laboratory attritor. Powder size distribution, microstructure and X-ray diffraction characteristics were investigated as a function of processing period. Saturated magnetization, Ms and coercive force, Hc we also measured and compared with plasma melted ingot to confirm the mechanically alloyed states. Mechanical alloying occurred as a consequence of the partition of powders and the increase of interfacial area driving diffusing of Cr into Ni. However, magnetic properties of chemically homogeneous solid solution like melted ingot has not been observed even though steady state of submicron grain size has been achieved after milling over 15 hrs. Further mechanical alloying period gave refinement of grain size, which resulted in the increase of alloyed layer. It is concluded that homogenization should be controlled by the increase of interfacial area between constitutive powders caused by plastic particle deformation and by the diffusion of Cr within the alloyed phase into Ni-rich phase through lattice defects.

We have studied on the magnetic properties of the specimen with additives Bi$_2$O$_3$and$V_2O_5$ that sintered at 900 $^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours for sybthesizing optimal Ni-Zn-Cu ferrite. Curie temperature rises from 240 $^{\circ}C$ to 270 $^{\circ}C$ as Ni contents increase. Magentic maximum induction$(B_m)$ increases from 2650 G to 3300 G, 3500 G in the specimens with $V_2O_5$ and Bi$_2$O$_3$resectively. On the contrary coercive force $(H_c)$ lowers to 2.05 Oe~1.05 Oe. Permeability all increase in the specimen with additives. In the specimen with additive Bi$_2$O$_3$, we have obtained the low relative loss factor of $6.3{\times}10^{-5}~7.84{\times}10^{-5}$ in the range of 1MHz due to increase of resistivity in grain boundary. In the specimen with additive $V_2O_5$ in spite of increase permeability relative loss factor increase of due to decrease of Q-value.
