containing various quantities of BaO, TiF4 and Na20. Details of the techniques employed for carrying out the measurements are discussed. Interpretation of the mass changes observed in the bulk material indicates that " d e h y d r a t i o n " of TiO~ is complete at 800 ° and that incipient decomposition of bulk TiO2 occurs at 875 ° in a dynamic vacuum of 10-6 mm. The reversible oxygen adsorption is believed to occur at surface impurity centers. (Author) A. W. Czanderna and J. M. Honig, J. Phys. Chem., 63, 620-626, April 1959.

Appearance potentials of the more important primary ions of 1, 3-butadiene have been measured as well as the appearance potentials of all secondary ions. The heats and cross-sections of ion-molecule reactions have been calculated. (Author)

Reversible oxygen adsorption has been measured on commercial grade titanium dioxide powder at 500, 700 and 900 ° as a function of the ambient pressure by a weighing technique. No oxygen adsorption is detectable in highly purified TiO2 in the same temperature range. Mass losses have been recorded in a dynamic high vacuum as a function of temperature for highly purified TiO~ " bulk " and also for purified TiO~

The extent of nickel ferrite formation, as affected by four preparatory techniques, was investigated by determining the magnetic moment of the reacted powder with a vibrating-coil magnetometer. The oxide, carbonate, hydroxide, and oxalate methods were used. At low temperatures the hydroxide and oxalate techniques were found to give the greatest yield of ferrospinel. The hydroxide method yielded a magnetic material by precipitation. Weight-loss measurements were correlated to the magnetic data. (Author) George Economos, J. Amer. Ceram.
