Radar Absorptive Material Form Industrial Effluent,

Abstract

Recent innovative work by the Nippon Electric Co. (NEC) Tokyo, Japan, on a ferrite precipitation method for removing heavy metal ions from industrial waste water and the subsequent potential use of this material (ferrite sludge) as a cheap microwave absorber has stimulated interest in the possible United States military applications of this concept. An important factor in this consideration is that the cost of the material is projected as significantly less than currently available ferrite material. This report describes the results of this program: a characterization and fabrication phase carried out at the Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center, Watertown, Massachusetts, and a testing phase carried out at the U.S. Army Electronic Proving Ground, Fort Huachuca, Arizona.
