A method of preparing magnetic powder includes preparing iron powder by a reduction reaction of iron oxide; preparing magnetic powder by heat-treating a molded article prepared by pressure-molding a mixture containing the iron powder, neodymium oxide, boron and calcium at a pressure of 22 MPa or more; and coating an organic fluoride on a surface of the magnetic powder.

Disclosed are a method for pulverizing a waste magnet and a waste magnet powder produced by the method. More particularly, disclosed is a method for efficiently producing a waste magnet powder having a small average particle size by pulverizing a raw material containing a hydrogen-occluded rare earth metal before dehydrogenation of the raw material.

Processes are provided for producing a titanium alloy material, such as Ti—Al alloys. In one embodiment, the process includes: heating an input mixture to a preheat temperature with the input mixture including aluminum, optionally, AlCl.sub.3, and, optionally ally, one or more alloying element halide; introducing TiCl.sub.4 to the input mixture at the first reaction temperature such that substantially all of the Ti.sup.4+ in the TiCl.sub.4 is reduced to Ti.sup.3+; thereafter, heating to a second reaction temperature such that substantially all of the Ti.sup.3+ is reduced to Ti.sup.2+ to form an intermediate mixture (e.g., a Ti.sup.2+ salt); and introducing the intermediate mixture into a reaction chamber at a disproportionation temperature reaction to form the titanium alloy material from the Ti.sup.2+ via a disproportionation reaction.

Provided is a method for treating an alloy by which nickel and/or cobalt can be selectively isolated from an alloy that contains copper as well as nickel and/or cobalt, in a waste lithium ion battery. The present invention is a method for treating an alloy, by which a solution that contains nickel and/or cobalt is obtained from an alloy that contains copper as well as nickel and/or cobalt, the method including: a leaching step in which a leachate is obtained by subjecting an alloy to an acid-based leaching treatment under conditions in which a sulfurizing agent is also present; a reduction step in which a reduced solution is obtained by subjecting the leachate to a reduction treatment using a reducing agent; and an oxidation/neutralization step in which a solution that contains nickel and/or cobalt is obtained by adding an oxidizing agent and also a neutralizing agent to the reduced solution.

Provided is a method for preparing metallic titanium by anode-electrolysis of carbonized/sulfurized ilmenite, and relates to the technical field of mineral processing and electrochemical extraction of metallic titanium in molten salts in non-ferrous metallurgy. The method uses titanium-containing ore, carbon (C) and sulfur (S) as raw materials and prepares a Ti—C—S/titanium sulfide anode material with high electric conductivity through a sintering reaction, and then uses the Ti—C—S/titanium sulfide anode to prepare metallic titanium in a molten salt electrolyte system successfully. With the Ti—C—S composite soluble anode in the present invention, metallic titanium is deposited at the cathode and CS.sub.2/S.sub.2 gas is generated at the anode in the molten salt electrolysis process; in addition, the gas can be used as a raw material to effectively treat the ore to prepare titanium sulfide.
