Description is made of the property of carbonaceous and sdiceous vanadmm staale and test resmts on processes of direct acid leaching and blank oxidization and roasting acid leaching for vanadium extraction from the ROM ore. Comparison of technical and economic index shows that the use o{ ROM ore direct acid leaching resulted in 20.1~ less investment,1.85 ~ higher FIRR on investment （pre-income tax） and 0.28 year shorter investment return period, yet 4.8% more specific processing cost for per ton of ROM ore. This process is characterized by short process flowsheet, simple and sophisticated process,energy-saving and en- vironmentally friendly and easy for commercial production,It can he used for reference and popularized for similar vanadium mineral processing.

Ammonia in APT crystal mother liquor was removed by adding sodium tungstate with sodium hydroxide and magnesium salts. The results show that the content of ammonia in the treated solution can be removed down to 0. 042 g/L up to 98.88% removal rate. The resultant sodium tungstate solution was diluted 10 times before prepared as ion exchange feed solution, the content of ammonia in the raffinate is less than 0. 000 5 % ,which can meet China national discharge standard.

Analysis is made on the thermal decomposition of CoC2O4 · 2H2O in the argon gas by TG-DSC and laser granulometer. The results showed that the thermal decomposition was done in two stages. First, the crystal water in CoC2O4 · 2H2O was lost at 150～275 ℃. Then,CoC2O4 was pyrolyzed into cobalt pow- der at 300～450℃. At 328.0～347.7℃ ,the biggest particle size change is found in the product,while at 347.7～500℃ ,the product particle size change is less. And between room temperature and 226.2 ℃ ,and at 226.2～328.0℃ ,the particle size change is not obvious. Therefore, the thermal decomposition condition of CoC2O4 · 2H2O in the argon gas can be controlled in stages in order to prepare cobalt powder of different particle sizes.

Spherical MnCO3 powder of uniform particle size was prepared by liquid phase precipitation using MnSO4 as the manganese source and NH4 HCOa as the precipitating agent and sodium hexametaphosphate （SHMP） as the dispersant. In the paper,the impact of three primary parameters such as reaction temperature,reactant concentration and dosage rate of SHMP on the particle size of MnCO3 powder was investigated and the experimental results were charaeterized by the laser granulometer, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that at 10～50℃ ,the particle size of MnCOa decreased with the decrease of reaction temperature. However,too low reaction temperature results in serious agglomeration. The SHMP dosage rate η affects the particle size of MnCOa powder to a great extent and the size decreases gradually with the increase of dosage rate when dosage rate is η〈10%. The MnCO3 spherical particles of uniform size （～3.1μm） and excellent dispersibility were obtained under following processing parameters： reaction temperature up to 30℃,the ratio of [Mn2＋]/[HCO3-] up to 5 ： 1 and the dosage rate of SHMP up to 7 0/4o.

Porous titanium compacts were prepared by gelatining solidification and vacuum sintering techThe influence of monomer concentration on gelatining solidification,microstructure and properties of sintered compact of porous titanium were analyzed by scanning electron microscope （SEM）, differential scanning calorimeter （DSC） and mechanical testing machine. The results showed that the role of dispersant citrate ammonium was apparent when the pH values of slurry were in the range from 7 to 9. When the monomer content,the added volume for the initiator and the ammonium are 20% 6mmol/L and 0.1 mL, respectively,the gelatin time is 68 rain at 45℃ reaction temperature. The bending strength of green compact with the monomer content of 15%,29% and 25% are about 15.2 MPa,20.6 MPa and 24.1 MPa,respectively. The green compact is sintered at 1 100℃ for 2 h,and the open-porosity ofsintered porous tita- nium is 39.5%.
