It was found that the iron phosphate (FePO_4) gel containing carbonaceous deposits is easily reduced by heating in vacuo above 500 ℃ and crystallized as Fe_2P_2O_7. The gels evacuated at 500 ℃ and 700 ℃ contained different valence iron atoms, Fe^<2+> and Fe^<3+>, and showed semi-conductive characteristics. The electric conductivity of the gel evacuated at 700 ℃ was lower than that of Cr_2O_3, but higher than CoO., application/pdf}, pages = {105--110}, title = {STRUCTURE AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF VACUUM-HEATED IRON PHOSPHATE GEL}, volume = {12}, year = {2001} }
