Hydrous titanium oxide particles with anatase phase were prepared from 0.05 mol TiCl4 solution using NH4HCO3 as precipitant by the droopping precipitant method. The sequential change of pH is completed by a sudden and steep increase in a pH value of the range of 6~7 to which the concentration of adsorbed OH- and H+ ions on TiO2 surface is equal. Rutile phase started precipitating with anatase phase as an increase of reaction temperature above 6$0^{\circ}C$ in aqueous 0.05mol TiCl4 solution and its specific surface area was found to decrease from 452 $m^2$/g($25^{\circ}C$) to 164$m^2$/g(8$0^{\circ}C$). Specific surface area decreased rapidly when anatase powders precipitated at 4$0^{\circ}C$ were heat-treated at temperature higher 40$0^{\circ}C$. FT-IR result confirmed that it was due to the decrease of OH species within hydrous titanium oxides. The loss of ethanol after illumination of the powder heated at $600^{\circ}C$ and $700^{\circ}C$ for 4 h was 66 and 68.8%, respectively.

The photo-oxidation of an aqueous humic acid solution using $TiO_2$ sols. which is transparent in visible range, was studied. The $TiO_2$ sols were prepared by a process wherein hydrogen peroxide was added to a gel of $TiO(OH)_2$ originated from hydrolysis of $TiCl_4$, and the resulting titanium peroxo solution(TPS) was heated. The concentration of $TiO_2$ used for photo-oxidation was about 100ppm, determined by comparing the photoluminescence(PL) intensity measured as a function of $TiO_2$ concentration. $TiO_2$ sols aged at $100^{\circ}C$ for more than 12h were found to exhibit a maximum rate in photocatalytic decomposition of humic acid. and the efficiency was better than that of Degussa P25. In addition, the resulting aqueous humic acid after photocatalytic decomposition with sols had an excellent transmittance of visible light, while that treated with Degussa P25 was still turbid. caused by $TiO_2$ particles.

Pb(Ni$\_$1/3/Nb$\_$2/3/)O$_3$-PbZrO$_3$-PbTiO$_3$ thick films were screen-printed on platinized alumina substrates and fired at 800-1000$^{\circ}C$. Two kinds of powders with different particle size were prepared by attrition and ball milling methods. Effects of particle size of starting material on the microstructure and electrical properties of the thick films were investigated. Average particle size of attrition milled-powder (0.44 ${\mu}$m) was much smaller than that of ball milled-powder (2.87 ${\mu}$m). Average grain size of the thick film prepared from attrition-milled powder was smaller than that of the thick film prepared from ball-milled powder at the sintering temperature of 800$^{\circ}C$. However, the difference in average particle size became smaller with increasing the sintering temperature. Thick films prepared from attrition-milled powders showed more uniform and denser microstructures at all firing temperatures. Thick films prepared from attrition-milled powders had better electrical properties at the firing temperature above 900$^{\circ}C$ than thick films prepared from ball-milled powders. Dielectric constant, remanent polarization and coercive field of the thick film prepared from attrition-milled powders and fired at 900$^{\circ}C$ were 559, 16.3 ${\mu}$C/cm$^2$, and 51.3 kV/cm, respectively.

This study focused on improving the phase stability and mechanical properties of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), commonly utilized in gas turbine engine thermal barrier coatings, by incorporating Gd₂O₃, Er₂O₃, and TiO₂. The addition of 3-valent rare earth elements to YSZ can reduce thermal conductivity and enhance phase stability while adding the 4-valent element TiO₂ can improve phase stability and mechanical properties. Sintered specimens were prepared with hot-press equipment. Phase analysis was conducted with X-ray diffraction (XRD), and mechanical properties were assessed with Vickers hardness equipment. The research results revealed that, except for Z10YGE10T, most compositions predominantly exhibited the t-phase. Increasing the content of 3-valent rare earth oxides resulted in a decrease in the monoclinic phase and an increase in the tetragonal phase. In addition, the t(400) angle decreased while the t(004) angle increased. The addition of 10 mol% of 3-valent rare-earth oxides discarded the t-phase and led to the complete development of the c-phase. Adding 10 mol% TiO₂ increased hardness than YSZ.

Ultrafine titanium carbide particles were synthesized by the reaction of liquid-magnesium and vaporized TiCl$_{4}$+C$_{x}$Cl$_{4}$(x = 1 and 2) solution. Fine titanium carbide particles with about 50 nm were successfully produced by combining Ti and C atoms released by chloride reduction of magnesium, and vacuum was then used to remove the residual phases of MgCl$_{2}$ and excess Mg. Small amounts of impurities such as O, Fe, Mg and Cl were detected in the product, but such problem can be solved by more precise process control. The lattice parameter of the product was 0.43267 nm, near the standard value. With respect to the reaction kinetics, the activation energy for the reactions of TiCl$_{4}$+C$_{2}$Cl$_{4}$and Mg was found to 69 kJ/mole, which was about half value against the use of TiCl$_{4}$+CCl$_{4}$, and such higher reactivity of the former contributed to increase the stoichiometry until the level of TiC$_{0.96}$ and decrease the free carbon content below 0.3 wt.%.

Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust and is the fourth most abundant structural metal after aluminum, iron, and magnesium. It exhibits a higher specific strength than steel along with an excellent corrosion resistance, highlighting the promising potential of titanium as a structural metal. However, titanium is difficult to extract from its ore and is classified as a rare metal, despite its abundance. Therefore, the production of titanium is exceedingly low compared to that of common metals. Titanium is conventionally produced as a sponge by the Kroll process. For powder metallurgy (PM), hydrogenation-dehydrogenation (HDH) of the titanium sponge or gas atomization of the titanium bulk is required. Therefore, numerous studies have been conducted on smelting, which replaces the Kroll process and produces powder that can be used directly for PM. In this review, the Kroll process and new smelting technologies of titanium for PM, such as metallothermic, electrolytic, and hydrogen reduction of TiCl₄ and TiO₂ are discussed.

Several $Al_2O_3$-based polycrystalline which had different dopant ratio in the range of 0.5mol% were prepared by doping pure $Cr_2O_3$, $ZrO_2$, $HfO_3$ Single crystalline which had same composition with above polycrystalline were made by means of floating zone method. This study examined the role of each dopant for enhancing the mefchanical properties of $Al_2O_3$-based Ceramics. Optical micrographs $({\times}200)$ of $Al_2O_3-Cr_2O_3$ single crystal showing not only radial crack (rc) on the specimen surface but median crack (mc) and lateral crack (lc) under surface at the edge of indentation mark. Fracture toughness of $Al_2O_3$-based Ceramics was increased with $ZrO_2$ content. Alloying effect of $Cr_2O_3$ contributed to the hardness of $Al_2O_3$ based ceramics.

This study is unrefined ZnO, $TiO_2$ nanoparticles is expose M4 medium to search nanoparticle aggregation and Daphnia magna was any effect by immobilization and mortality. ZnO and $TiO_2$ nanoparticle powder-size is respectively 20 nm and 40 nm. but, M4 medium has about respectively as 1333 nm and 1628 nm, 40 to 70 times were agglomerated. Immobilization of ZnO and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles was influenced both time and concentration the higher to swimming of D.magna. Especially, The immobilization of D.magna in nano-ZnO is greater than that influence in nano-$TiO_2$. Mortality of ZnO nanoparticle is higher rate at long time and high concentration. $TiO_2$ nanoparticle observed mortality at 10ppm concentration after 72h. Consequently, when Nanoparticles is introduced into ocean. Particle size become grow. Additionally, aggregation be caused affect aquatic ecosystems.
