Refractory Metals and Hard Materials, Vol 10, No 3, 1991, 115 122. The literature relating to ~he reduction of APT into TBO, at 300 lo 600 C is c r i t i c a l l y reviewed. A m m o n i a c o n t e n t , oxygen index, specific surface area and Fischer mean particle size are discussed and reported to be typical characteristics of TBO.

J.W.van Pul et al. Int. J. Refractory Metals and Hard Materials, Vol 10, No 3, 1991, 123 131. An investigation into the effects of changes in process p a r a m e l e r s for the II reduction of APT on the properties of TBO is described. Reduction time, temperature, it flow rate and yield of p o w d e r are considered as t h e s e influence a m m o n i a content, oxygen index and specific surface area of the TBO. II was not found possible to change the Fishcher mean particle size significantly by c h a n g e in one of t h e operating conditions.

RECOVERY OF T A N T A L U M A N D N I O B I U M FROM S O L U T I O N S A F T E R CRYSTALLISATION OF A M M O N I U M PARATUNGSTATE (APT)
T.Zhengji, (Cemented Carbide Industry Co., Zhuzhou, ttunan, China.) Int. J. Refractory Metals and Hard Materials, 10, No 3, 1991, 143-146.
The production of Ta and Nb from t h e residual solutions after crystallisation a n d removal of APT is described. The process involves and the addition of NaDH a n d heating with agitation at 100°C which precipitates Na niobates and tantalates. The precipitate is t r e a t e d with HC1, dried and calcined to yield Nb and Ta oxides.

R.A.Valiev et al. Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, No 6, 1991, 4 6. (In Russian.) The process of making powder by low temperature plasma discharge between steel electrodes and an aqueous electrolyte is d e s c r i b e d . The e f f e c t s o f p r o c e s s c o n d i t i o n s on t h e d i s p e r s i v i t y a n d composition of the powders are stated. The presence of Fe304 in the powders is reported.

E.P.Zhelibo et al. Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, No 6, 1991, 35-40. (In Russian.) The electrolylic p r o d u c t i o n of Fe-Co alloy powders in a complex electrolyte is described. Process conditions and variations are considered. The Co c o n t e n t of the powder is reported to increase with i n c r e a s e s in t h e Co c o n t e n t of t h e electrolyte. Co r i c h p o w d e r s are characterised by increased dispersion and higher values of magnetic induction and coercive force.
