In [101] the synthesis and alteration of a-LiFe02 by mechanochemical activation were studied. A mixture of y-FeOOH and Li0H H20 was ground for different time intervals in a planetary ball mill (Retsch) equipped with a 250 ml agate jar and five balls of the same material, 1 cm in diameter.

The possibility of mechanochemical reactions to occur via hydrothermal mechanism was demonstrated in [32] for the synthesis of calcinm hydrosilicates. Optimal water content values (humidity) of solid mixtures of correspondent hydrates were estimated for the achievement of local hydrothermal conditions (elevated temperature and pressure) in mechanochemical activators. It was shown experimentally that the main factor determining the kinetics and composition of the products was the molar fraction of the components, the same as for hydrothermal reactions, while the effect of temperatnre and pressnre was mnch weaker.

New method of dispersed perovskites synthesis based upon mechanochemical activation of the solid starting compounds is elaborated. The influence of defect structure of these compoimds as well as surface segregation on their catalytic properties is discussed. Basic stages of the monolith perovskite catalysts preparation are optimized. The experimental samples of monolith catalysts of various shapes are obtained, possessing high activity, thermal stability and resistance to catalytic poisons. 

The original technology of powdered perovskite synthesis based upon mechanochemical activation (MA) of solid starting compoimds has been elaborated. It is distinguished by the simplicity, high productivity and yields highly dispersed perovskites of luiiform phase composition. 

Mechanochemical processing (MCP) represents a compelling method for the production of nanostructured HA, during which the reaction is activated by mechanical milling. Mechanochemical powder synthesis is a solid-state synthesis method that takes advantage of the perturbation of surface-bonded species by pressure or mechanical forces to enhance the thermodynamic and kinetic reactions between solids [77]. Pressure can be applied via conventional milling... 

Alternative methods such as coprecipitation or the sol-gel route were shown to favom the formation of ATLS already at temperatures around 800°C [37-40]. Mechanical milling of the mixture of source materials (oxides etc) in a planetary ball mill for several hours allows the production of ATLS even at room temperature [41-45]. However, such low-temperature methods have been successfully used only for the synthesis of undoped Lag 33Si6026, the data on the synthesis of the doped ATLS using mechanical milling are absent in the literature. It is well known that mechanochemical activation of the solids is a complex process, with different experimental parameters such as raw materials, type of the mill, rotation speed, ball-to-powder mass ratio, milling time etc. determining the formation of target products and a mechanism of their formation [46-47]. 

Hence, using Fe(HCOO)3 as Fe precursors results in the formation of some amorphous silicate that can be a precursor of ATLS formed after mixtures calcination. The formation of amorphous precursors is often observed for synthesis via mechanochemical activation [79]. This reflects the fact that in this case the apatite formation occurs via the dissociative mechanism in contrast to the cluster-topotactic one observed earlier for Si02+La203+A1(0H)3 and Si02+La203 mixtures [51]. 

The fundamental task, in our opinion, is to correlate the principles and methods of the proposed synthesis with those of mechanochemical synthesis. Thus, besides the destruction processes and mechanochemical synthesis discussed in the literature, other lands of transformations sometimes occur as side reactions, or even as major processes. These include chemical fixation of small molecules (methyl chloride or butyl alcohol) on mechanically activated macromolecular backbones grafting of inorganic surfaces (quartz, metals, metallic oxides, inorganic salts, etc.) dispersed by vibratory milling on polymerized fragments synthesized from monomers present in the reaction medium, and activated by centers on the inorganic surface (14) and the possibility of some reactions (such as nitration), achieved so far on macromolecular supports and only as side reactions.
