In this study, Bi-doped SnSe was fabricated through the high energy ball milling and the hydrogen reduction of Bi2O3, and its thermoelectric properties were analyzed. The specimen with pure-Bi was fabricated as a control group and properties were compared. In the case of specimens with added Bi2O3, when sintering was performed in a hydrogen atmosphere, Bi2O3 with a high melting point was reduced to Bi with a relatively low melting point. At this time, because of the appearance of the liquid phase, the orientation of the (400) plane increased, and the density was improved. As a result, the change of SnSe to n-type was confirmed in the temperature range of 300 K - 773 K due to Bi doping. Additionally, when Bi2O3 was used instead of pure-Bi, the thermal conductivity, which is inversely proportional to the figure of merit, decreased, and the electrical conductivity increased, resulting in an improvement in the figure of merit.

The presented paper deals with the investigations on the content of chosen trace impurities in offal taken at various stages of technological process in felt production in hat industry, and its possible. The contents of lead, zinc, cadmium, iron, cobalt, copper, nickel and chromium in Bove hair washer wastes, in wastes from rinsing of washer, and in wastes from felting process were determined by spectrophotometric methods because of their simplicity and relative availability.
