    The problem of contamination has become the centre of interest in the technique for the preparation of a high-purity powder, especially the milling process of the starting powder in high performance ceramics. In this report, the increasing tendencies in the amount of impurity in TiO2 powder during wet alumina ball milling are described.
    The results obtained are summarized as follows:
    (1) Impurity (intermixture into the ground TiO2 powder), caused by wear of the grinding ball and the mill liner, was mainly included in the finer size range of the ground productt in the initial grinding stage. Also, the size of intermixture was distributed widely throughout the full size range of the ground product in the final grinding stage.
    (2) The intermixture concentration was influenced considerably by the viscosity and the specific gravity of the slurry.
    (3) The size of the wear debris was distributed into a finer size range of the ground product. Then, in the closed circuit wet milling process, it was estimated that the impurity was concentrated in the fine grinding product that was collected by the classifier.

    Viscoelastic properties of highly filled suspensions (HFS) of ceramic powders-bentonite, kaolin, alumina and titania-mixed with various binders were tested by means of the mono-axial compression method. The rheological properties of HFS before and at rupture were: Strains at rupture, εR, were independent of concentration and were in the range, 0.1 to 0.2, for every combination of powders and binders. Rupture strengths, σR, were highly dependent on solid concentration and varied with powders and binder combinations. A binder, HPMC, gave adhesiveness and softness to the HFS, and did not show complete rupture. The CMC gave the most brittle nature to the HFS. In addition, thixotropic hardening was observed for long time loading with every sample. Burgers' model in which the time dependency term was introduced into the Maxwell part was presented to simulate the rheological behavior of HFS. Finally, the effect of binders was quantitatively estimated.

    The method of determining the liquid phase surface diffusivity based on the parallel diffusion model was presented. The model can be described in the form with two parameters, X and Y. X is defined as the ratio of the porosity to the tortuosity factor as a parameter of the adsorbant, and Y is the ratio of surface diffusivity, Ds to diffusivity, DL of the solute in a solution. It was shown that an objective function to identify the model with an experimental adsorption rate has a minimum value on a line with respect to X and Y, in contrast to the results of having a minimum value at a point in several papers.
    The tortuosity factor was measured using methanol as a solvent to inhibit the contribution of surface diffusion. For the measurement of surface diffusivity aqueous solutions were used, then the diffusivity was evaluated from both the tortuosity factor and the line decided by the objective function. The diffusivities and amount of equilibrium adsorbed, qe were correlated by the form,
    DS/DLqeβ, where α and β are experimental coefficients.
