Effect of calcining temperature on the sintering behaviors and microwave dielectric properties of BMT[Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3] ceramics was studied. The calcining temperatures were varied from 80$0^{\circ}C$ to 130$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. It was found that, as calcining temperature lowered below 125$0^{\circ}C$, second phase such as Ba5Ta4O15 phases started to appear in calcined powder with unreacted powders. After sintering, exaggerately grown Ba5TaO3 phase could be found amang the uniform BMT grains in sintered body. Basis on the infiltration experiment, Ba0.05TaO3 phase should be formed by reaction of BMT grain and BaO-MgO eutectic liquid. But increase of calcining temperature above 125$0^{\circ}C$, there was not any second phase or unreated component in calcined powder and sintered body. As result, low calcining temperature led to precipitation of second phase in specimen and resulted decrease of Q value of BMT ceramics.

The pick up impurity was studied for preparing the NiCuZn ferrite powder by a ball milling method that usually uses in the industrial ceramic process. The raw materials of NiO, CuO, ZnO, and $Fe_2O_3$ powder were weighted according to various spinel composition and mixed for 18 hrs by a wet ball milling method after that the slurry was followed by spray dried and calcined at $700^{\circ}C$ 3 hrs. The calcined NCZF powder was finally ball milled during 65 hrs as same method. The stainless steel ball and jar are used as mixing and milling equipment and the solid concentration of the slurry was 25 vol%. The impurities, stainless steel pickup, were effected by the composition of raw materials especially iron oxide, nickel oxide in the mixing process and by the rate of calcine of NiCuZn ferrite in final milling process. The empirical equation of stainless steel pickup was driven in the wet ball milling system. Finally, the composition of NiCuZn ferrite could be controlled by the empirical equation.

Hydroxyapatites (HAps) were synthesized using the powdered waste of fishery products, i.e., fish scales and crab shells, as starting materials. HAp was synthesized by a wet-chemistry method followed by calcination at 600 and $800^{\circ}C$. Calcined crabshell powder revealed a single HAp phase and fine powder, while calcined fish-scale powder showed a ${\beta}-TCP$ secondary phase, even at the higher calcination temperature. Dense HAp pellets were obtained from the crab-shell powder by spark plasma sintering at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 10 min under applied pressures of 40 and 80 MPa in a vacuum state, giving sample densities of 2.93 and $3.06g/cm^3$, respectively. The estimated grain size of HAp was $448{\pm}96$ and $283{\pm}59nm$ for applied pressures of 40 and 80 MPa, respectively. In contrast, the HAp obtained using the pressureless sintering technique showed excessive grain growth without further densification.

In recent years Sol-Gel processing provides an interesting alternative method for the fabrication of ferroelectric thin layers and powder. PZT powder was prepared from an alkoxide-based solution by a Sol-Gel method. Gelation of synthesized complex solutions, microstructure, thermal analysis and crystallization behaviors of the calcined powder were studied in accordance with a water content and a catalyst. Especially gelation and crystallization behavior were analysed with the change of pH. The gelation time decreased as the pH of the mixed solution increased. For PZT powder with 650.deg. C heat treatment, 100% perovskite phase was formed by using either acidic or basic catalyst. By using either acidic or basic catalyst, we were able to get very fine powders of uniform shape with an average particle size of 0.8-1.mu.m.

The (La, Sr)MnO3 powder used as air-electrode material of Solid Oxide Cell (SOFC) was synthesized by Modified-GNP(Modified-Glycine Nitrate Process). The powders were prepared using oxide and carbonate stable in atmosphere and nitric acid was used as a solvent of starting material as well as an oxidant for combustion. The (La, Sr)MnO3 powders were synthesized with 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 of glycine/cation molar ratio. The ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer) result represented compositional equality between synthesized and desired powders. In case of 2 molar ratio, the as-synthesized powder showed perovskite phase and specific surface area were 19 $m^2$/g. After calcination of 85$0^{\circ}C$, the calcined powder except 0.5, 1 molar ratio of glycine to cation showed perovskite phase.

Several titanate powders ($Al_2TiO_5,\;SrTiO_3$, etc.) were synthesized by an ethylene glycol solution route. Titanium isopropoxide and nitrate salts were dissolved in stoichiometric proportions in liquid-type ethylene glycol without any precipitation. The parent precursor sols were dried to porous gels, and then the gels were calcined and crystallized. All synthesized titanate powders had stable crystallization behavior at low temperature and high specific surface area after a simple ball-milling process. A three-component PZT $(Pb(Zr_{0.52}{\cdot}Ti_{0.48})O_3)$ powder was also synthesized successfully by the ethylene glycol method. In this study, the characteristics of the multi-component titanate powders by the ethylene glycol method are examined.

Preparation of spherical single-perovskite phase PMN-PT powder was tried by surface modification of the precursor powder with magnesia sol. The ball-milled mixed powder was heat treated at 550$\^{C}$/l h to remove any volatiles. The calcined powder was treated with the magnesia sol of 0.3-1.0 wt% and followed by calcination at 800$\^{C}$/l h to give rise to single phase perovskite PMN-PT powders. The powder with a binary size of <0.3 ㎛ and -2 ㎛ was obtained for MgO(0.3), but the spherical, agglomerate-free powder of 0.5-0.8 ㎛ was obtained for MgO(0.6) as well as for MgO(1.0).

Characteristics of Al2O3-ZrO2 powders prepared by sol-gel process and their sintering behavior were investigated as a function of calcination temperature. The sol-gel processed powders were calcined at 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200$^{\circ}C$, and analyzed by X-ray diffraction technique. Pore size and distribution of green compact of the calcined powders were measured by mercury porosimeter. It is suggested that the optimal temperature of calcination for the sintering of Al2O3-ZrO2 powder prepared by sol-gel process is 1100$^{\circ}C$. In the Al2O3-17vol.% ZrO2 sintered specimen, which was sintered at 1600$^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs in air, 69vol.% tetragonal phse existed.

The powder characterization and sintering behavior of alkoxide-derived alumina powders prepared by esterification were investigated. The dried powders were calcined at 700$^{\circ}C$, 900$^{\circ}C$, 1080$^{\circ}C$, 1170$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. and the resulting crystalline forms were amorphous, {{{{ gamma }} phase, {{{{ theta }}+{{{{ alpha }} phase, and {{{{ alpha }} phase, respectively. The sinterability was best in the case of being calcined at 1170$^{\circ}C$. It was most effective to disperse sintering additive in the initial stage from which acetate was formed. At 1600$^{\circ}C$ for 4 h, 98.5% of relative density was obtained when MgO and Fe2O3 were simultaneously doped, and dense sintered body whose density was near theoretical value was obtained when heating schedule was controlled.
