${\Alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ was accomplished by chemical method as low temperature as possible and the crystallographic and magnetic properties have been studied by Mossbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The sample heated at 15$0^{\circ}C$ is found to have a Corundums symmetry with the hexagonal lattice constant a=8.26$\pm$0.05$\AA$, c=8.75$\pm$0.05$\AA$. The M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectra between the 4.2K and the room temperature show that the ${\Alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ crystallized with a single phase and fine sizes. The particle size distribution has the Gaussian distribution center at 98$\AA$ and the half width of 32$\AA$.TEX>.

$\alpha$-$Fe_2O_3$ fine powders with the sizes smaller than 0.5 $\mu \textrm{m}$ were prepared by the solvolysis and condensation reaction using iron(III) nitrate and ethanol as starting materials. The variation of pH and the change of FT-IR absorption peak were observed to study the reaction mechanism of iron(III) nitrate solution. In addition, the decomposition mechanism of the precipitated gel was investigated by differential scanning calorimeter, X-ray diffractometer and FT-IR spectrometer. Scanning electron microscope and BET method were performed to analyze the effects of Iron (III) nitrate concentration and reaction temperature on the particle size of $\alpha$-$Fe_2O_3$ powders.

Iron oxide (hematite, $\alpha$-${Fe}_{2}{O}_{3}$) particles were prepared directly from aqueous solution using a crystal growth controller. Paticles properties and reaction mechanisum of products as a function of basicity, formation process and mechanism of needle-lkie hematite were investigated. hexagonal hermatite particles were formed in teh range below pH 9.0, ellipsoidal or rectangular hematite particles in the range of pH 10.75-11.75 respectively. In the range above pH 12.50, acicular $\alpha$-FeOOH was formed. Basicity of product solution produced in the range of pH 10.7511.75 was increased slightly as compared with basicity of reastants due to hydroxly ion(OH-) formed by dissociation crystal growth controller. Citric acid which is acted as a crystal growth controller was adsorbed in the form of itrate anion(R-COO-) on the ferric hydroxide and exerted important role on the formation to the needle-like $\alpha$-${Fe}_{2}{O}_{3}$ particles in this reaction system.

RF magnetron reactive sputtering법으로 Fe75.5Zr8.3N16.2/SiO2(250$\AA$) 다층 박막을 FeZrN의 두께를 변화시키면서 제조하고, 제조된 박막을 진공 열처리하여 열처리 온도에 따른 포화자화, 보자력, 고주파에서의 투자율 그리고 열적 안정성을 조사하였다. Fe75.5Zr8.3N16.2/SiO2(250$\AA$) 다층박막은 FeZrN의 두께가 800$\AA$이상일 때 좋은 연자성을 나타내었다. Fe75.5Zr8.3N16.2/SiO2(250$\AA$)다층 박막을 45$0^{\circ}C$로 열처리 했을 때 포화자속밀도(1.08 T), 보자력 0.41 Oe, 1 MHz에서의 실효 투자율은 3000이상의 연자성을 나타내었다. 그 이유는 X-선 회절 분석 결과 열처리에 의해서 ZrN 미결정이 석출하여 $\alpha$-Fe 결정 성장이 억제되어 우수한 연자기적 성질이 나타난다고 판단된다. 이때 $\alpha$-Fe 입자 크기는 40-50$\AA$, ZrN의 입자 크기는 10-15$\AA$이다. 그리고 실효 투자율의 주파수 의존성에서 단층막에서는 5 MHz 이상에서 실효 투자율이 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 다층막에서는 40MHz까지 실효 투자율이 1600이 되어 고주파에서의 연자성이 개선되었다.

To estimate dispersion stability of particles, suspending power and particle size were examined as functions of pHs, surfactants, electrolytes and ionic strengths using ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particle as the model of particulate soil. Suspending power and particle size were determined by UV-Vis spectrumeter and by light scattering using the polarization ratio method, respectively. The suspending power was relatively high with polyanion electrolytes and was low with neutral salts. The suspending power was biphasis, minimum pH 6~7, and the effect of surfactant on the suspending power was insignificant. Generally suspending power increased with decreasing the particle size governed aggregation of dispersed particles regardless of solution conditions. Hence the suspending power was inversely related to the particle size.

A theoretical expression for determining the effective magnetic moment of hematite(${\alpha}-Fe_{2}O_{3}$) particle of the parasitic ferromagnetism by the proton relaxation in water is derived. In deriving the expression it is found that the mathematical procedures are exactly the same as those applied for aqueous solutions containing free paramagnetic ions, except that the distance between the proton spin of water molecule and the corresponding electronic spin of the particle must be considered to be a radius vector rather than a relative distance. And it is also found that the average effective magnetic moment of the particle calculated by the expression is in good agreement with the experimental value determined by Hirai.

Size and crystalline phase changes of $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ nanoparticles formed in a $H_{2}/O_{2}$ flame have been investigated. At flame temperatures below $1350^{\circ}C$, the mean particle size increased monotonously with the distance from the burner edge; but in high-temperature flames above $1650^{\circ}C$, it suddenly decreased from 20 nm to ${\sim}3$ nm with the distance from the burner edge. The results of X-ray diffraction and HRTEM showed that this sudden reduction of the size of nanoparticles was accompanied by a partial phase transformation from ${\gamma}$-$Fe_{2}O_{3}$ into ${\alpha}$-$Fe_{2}O_{3}$. We suggest the structural instability due to ${\gamma}-$ to ${\alpha}-phase$ transformation as a mechanism for a rapid fragmentation of 20 nm particles into 3 nm ones.

In this study, we investigated the grinding and sedimentation(elutriation) process of the dusts for the effective separation of high purity iron and iron oxides. For characterization of the dust, particle size distribution and chemical composition, were examined. The results obtained in this study may be summarized as follows : 1. The converter CF(clarifier) dust of the Pohang 1st, 2nd steel making factory and EC(Evaporation Cooler), EP(Eltrostatic precititator) dust of the Kwangyang 2nd steel making factory are composed $\alpha$-Fe(21~50%), FeO(wustite)$Fe_3$$O_4$(magnetite), $Fe_2$$O_3$, CaO, $Al_2$$O_3$, $SiO_2$, and etc. 2. Pure iron has ductile characteristic in nature, particle size of the pure iron increase by increasing the grinding time. On the other hand, it is conformed that bo고 particles of hematite and magnetite become less than 325 mesh after 10 minutes grinding. 3. By applying the elutriation technique for the EC dust of the Kwangyang 2nd steel making factory, the iron powder of high content more than 99.17% of pure Fe was recovered with 37.8% yield at grinding time for 40 minutes. 4. By applying the elutriation technique for the CF dust of the Pohang 2nd steel making factory, the iron powder of high content more than 98.38% of pure Fe was recovered with 44.42% yield at grinding time for 40 minutes. 5. When magnetic separation was performed using plastic bonding magnet of 70 gauss, more than 98% Fe grade of iron powder was recovered in the size range +65 -200 mesh but the recovery of it was low.

We have synthesized monodispersed $\alpha$-F $e_2$ $O_3$ nano particles to investigate the spin change during the Morin transition temperature( $T_{M}$). The particle size was founded to have a very uniform distribution of 80 nm by x-ray diffraction and size dispersion analyzer. The Mossbauer spectra between the 4.2 K and the room temperature show that $T_{M}$ was shifted and the spin states of Fe ion were changed with the particle size. The Morin transition temperature of bulk usually quoted in literature is 265 K but, it decreases with the size and no transition was found at the critical size down to 4.2K. The spin direction of 80 nm sized particles are normal to the hexagonal c-axis above the $T_{M}$ and are tilted about 28～29$^{\circ}$ below $T_{M}$, which is the [110] direction of rombohedral structure.

The dispersion stability of particles and the adsorption of surfactant were examined as a fundamental environment to adhesion of particulate soil to fabric. The adsorption of surfactant on the PEF fabrics decreased with the addition of electrolytes and decreased with increasing the ionic strengths showed similar tendency to PET fabric. And the dispersion force of $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$particles decreased with the addition of electrolyte. The adhesion of particulate soil to fabric, increased with decreasing the adsorption of surfactant the correlation between the two was high at low ionic strength. The correlation between the adsorption of surfactants on $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ particles and the adhesion of particles to fabric was smaller as shown in the correlation between the adsorption of surfactants on fiber substrate and the adhesion of particles on fabric. However, the correlation between the adhesion of particles to fabric and the stability of particle dispersion was relatively more significant.
