Provided is a method for preparing a soft magnetic manganese-zinc ferrite composite by removing impurities from industrial waste step by step. Manganese-containing waste residue is crushed and dried, and then mixed with a flux in a muffle furnace and roasted at a temperature below 1000? C. till solid-liquid stratification; then, multi-step impurity removal is performed to obtain a high-purity quaternary purification solution of manganese sulfate. Similarly, zinc residue is melted to remove impurities, and then multi-step impurity removal is performed to obtain a high-purity quaternary purification solution of zinc sulfate. According to a manganese-zinc-iron ratio required for the manganese-zinc ferrite, the two purification solutions are mixed, and ferrous sulfate is added. The mixed purification solution is coprecipitated with ammonium bicarbonate, washing is performed, and co-precipitated powder is decomposed into ferric oxide, manganese tetroxide and zinc oxide which are then roasted to obtain the manganese-zinc ferrite composite.

Provided is a lepidocrocite-type titanate capable of suppressing the interference with the curing of a thermosetting resin and a resin composition having excellent wear resistance. A lepidocrocite-type titanate has a layered structure formed by chains of TiO.sub.6 octahedra, wherein part of Ti sites is substituted with ions of two or more metals selected from the group consisting of Li, Mg, Zn, Ni, Cu, Fe, Al, Ga, and Mn and runs of at least one metal selected from alkali metals other than Li are contained between layers of the layered structure.

The present application refers to zinc recovery process from steelworks powder, and to obtain a zinc sulfate solution with 12% Zn by weight with the expected degree for fertilizer. Such an approach can aim to add value to a steelmaking waste, by partially converting environmental liability in commercial product taking advantage of the steelworks' powder as a raw material for the production of a liquid fertilizer and ready for use, containing zinc and sulfur with low liquid effluent production. Such an approach can be advantageous as to simplicity, use of mild temperatures, use of a single reactant, overall conversion of the reactants into a product solution of commercial quality, ready for use as a foliar fertilizer with low generation of wastewater and without generation of additional waste.
