Magnetic iron oxide nano-powders were synthesised electrochemically, using a low-carbon steel electrode immersed in a NaCl aqueous solution, at constant temperature of the electrolyte, pH and current density. In the second step, portions of the starting admixture were boiled at ~360 K during two hours and autoclaved at various temperatures. Both the starting powder and the treated ones were examined by a standard XRD method, then uniaxially pressed into pellets under 400 MPa, and their electric and magnetic behavior during non isothermal heating was analyzed

Contrast materials have very great role in many medical areas. Considering modern medical diagnostic techniques and the significance of the solution to the therapy (or surgery) tasks, the questions on precise medical images of high resolution are very important. The high resolution (especially if the image serves further for the numerical processing and analysis is certainly of significances as well as the material for recording or other assisting tasks. The contrasts material for the processes of magnetic resonance (or NMR) and analysis of their performances in the form of initial powder material with super paramagnetic performances are presented in this paper

The investigated nanometric magnetite powders were synthesized electrochemically, and examined by XRD and SEM techniques. Their reduction was conducted through the isothermal heating in hydrogen in the temperature range from 600 to 860 K. Kinetics of the hydrogen recovery process during oxidation of freshly formed Fe powders in a water vapor stream was also studied. It was assumed that the solid-gas reaction is diffusion controlled, and Jander’s model was applied to describe it. The experimental data suggest that the reoxidation process proceeds in two stages, at various activation energies. By changing the conditions of the electrochemical (EC) process we were able to produce the iron oxide powders with optimal particle size and activity, for pure hydrogen production through appropriate reduction/oxidation processes.
