Although many new deposits of rare earth elements (REEs) are being discovered, the technical and technological knowledge on the separation of REEs from its ore by concentrating procedure and concentrate treatment are limited. In Mongolia, doing research on the chemical technological characteristics of the REEs mineral and ore would have been a great importance for the academic research knowledge and creation of new documents with respect to REEs. Moreover, it can be efficiently resulted to socio-economic issue in our country. The surface rocks and ore from Khotgor deposit located in Umnugobi province were studied by electron microscopy, SEM/EDX and X-ray diffraction method. As a result, the rocks are composed to sienite protracted by carbonatite, nepheline-sienite rocks with breccially-formed, apatite (flourapatite) with 1-3%, barite, celestine, pyrite and magnetite, respectively. In the rock, REEs’s total content was about 0.02-1.6%, and its 86.2-95.7% for the cerium group elements. A nepheline sienite and sienite that includes apatite, barite, celestine, pyrite and magnetite were composed to the ore. Total content of REEs in this ore was 2.18% with light REEs about 95%. This study summarized the chemical composition of rocks, ores and minerals. Furthermore, the contents of REEs and characterization of the carrier minerals and other accompanied minerals were presented.

Rare earth modified lead titanate powders Pb1-xRExTiO3 (REPT), x = 0.01, 0.05, 0.07 and RE = Yb, Y, were prepared by the Pechini method. The materials were calcined under flowing oxygen at different temperatures from 300 to 700 ºC. Nanostructured REPT were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and surface area analysis (BET). The results suggest that the modifier cation incorporated into the system has notable influence in the microstructure and a notable decrease in the crystallite sizes.

Hydroxyapatite was prepared by using precipitation method. The substitution of zinc ions in hydroxyapatite structure was studied by several characterization techniques. Several concentration of zinc ions were substituted into hydroxyapatite. Characterization technique such as X-ray diffraction method was used to study the phase changes and the lattice parameters with the addition of zinc. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the influence of zinc on the crystal size and the morphology of the as-synthesized powders. Based on X-ray diffraction result, the addition of zinc affects the lattice parameters and phase. The result showed that zinc ions were substituted in the structure. As zinc substitution increased, the lattice parameters a and c decreased. The crystal shape of hydroxyapatite without zinc ions was regular shapes while hydroxyapatite with zinc ions was irregular and also tends to agglomerates with single particle was calculated about 28 - 34 nm .

ABSTRACTCdS host nanocrystals with 4.2-5.5 nm in diameter have been synthesized from air stable precursors via a synthetic chemical route and doped with rare earth (RE) terbium (Tb3+) and ytterbium (Yb3+) ions. RE3+-doped CdS cores were shelled by ZnS layers of different thicknesses. The resulting core/shell nanocrystals show a complete broadband absorption below 400-460 nm to the deep UV region depending on the size of the cores. RE3+-doped CdS nanocrystals showed a red shift in the emission as observed under irradiation of 302 nm UV light and was confirmed by room temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The nanocrystals were further characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) analysis. The results show that these RE3+-doped nanocrystals can be used as solar spectral matching downconversion material to enhance photovoltaic efficiency of existing solar cells.

Single crystals of pure and Lanthanum doped L-Alanine Tartrate were grown by slow evaporation method. The cell parameters were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction method. To improve the physical properties of the LAT crystal, Lanthanum dopant was added by 2 mol%. ICP studies confirm the presence of Lanthanum in the grown LAT crystal. Transparency range of the crystal was determined using UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer. The functional groups of pure and doped LAT crystals were analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy. Using Vickers microhardness tester, mechanical strength of the material was found. Dielectric studies of pure and doped LAT single crystals were carried out. The doped LAT crystal is found to have efficiency higher than that of pure LAT crystal.

Abstract The paper presents the results of research on the microstructure and selected mechanical properties of the SnSbCu bearing alloy after friction stir processing (FSP). The Whorl tool was used for modification; the process was carried out using two rotational speeds of the tool: 280 and 450 RPM and a constant linear speed of 355 mm/min. Microstructure studies were performed employing the techniques of light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy along with analysis of the chemical composition of micro-areas. Additionally, the phase composition was investigated by means of the X-ray diffraction method and statistical analysis of the precipitates present in the investigated alloy. In addition, hardness, flexural strength and uniaxial compression tests were performed before and after FSP modification. It was proved that using FSP to modify the SnSbCu alloy promotes refinement and homogenization of the microstructure, as well as improvement of the flexural strength, whereas no changes in the hardness level were found.

<p class="Abstract">Synthesis of Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> particles was performed using coprecipitation method. Iron sand base material obtained by processing the iron rocks by means of destruction and extraction. Iron rocks were taken from the village Surian, South Solok of West Sumatera. Iron sand that has been extracted reacted with HCL and NH<sub>4</sub>OH. Furthermore, the PEG-2000 were added to see its effect on the resulting magnetization saturation. Variations in the composition ratio of iron sand and PEG-2000 are 1:0, 1:1, 1:2 and 1:4. The crystal structure of the sample was confirm using x-ray diffraction method. Characterization of magnetic properties carried out using vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The results of magnetic properties show that the saturation magnetization decreases with increasing of PEG-2000 content in the range of 99.50emu/g - 0,84 emu/g.</p>

AbstractA composite of CaTi0.9Fe0.1O3 and electrolyte material, i.e. magnesium doped La0.98Mg0.02NbO4 was prepared and studied. The phase content and the sample microstructure was examined by an X-ray diffraction method and scanning electron microscopy. EDS measurements were done both for composite samples and the diffusion couple. The electrical properties were studied by four terminal DC method. The high-temperature interaction between the two components of the composite has been observed. It has been suggested that lanthanum diffused into the perovskite phase and substituted for calcium whereas calcium and niobium formed the Ca2Nb2O7 pyrochlore phase. At 1500°C very large crystallites of the pyrochlore were observed. Regardless of strong interaction between the composite components, its total conductivity was weakly dependent on the sintering temperature.
