Synthesis of Mn x Zn(1−x)Fe2O4 nanoparticles by ball-milling hydrothermal method

Abstract

SMn x Zn 1-x Fe 2 O 4 (x=1,0.9,0.8,0.7,0.6,0.5,0.25,0) nanoparticles were prepared by ball-milling hydrothermal and investigated by X-ray diffraction, DTG and TEM. Nanocrystallite grain size was determined by X-ray linewidth to be from 63 Å to 274 Å. The thermal properties indicate absorbed water still remain at low temperature, crystalline wate will be decomposed from 230 to 260 , partial Mn 2+ will be oxidized near 730 . TEM shows the ferrite particles pocess a spherical morphology and uniform nanosize.

Synthesis of Mn-Zn Ferrite Nano Particles from Pure Chemicals and Minerals

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] In the entire synthesis reported so far scientists have used either nitrate salts, 1, 3, 4 chloride salts, 2, 7 carbonate salts, 3 sulphate salts, 2, 6 oxide salts 5 or other compounds 8 of high purity or varied the processing techniques. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] However, no report to produce these powders from any ore of any constituent element exists so far. In the present investigation an effort towards the synthesis of Mn-Zn nano powders has been made by taking iron ore fines as a source for iron for producing Mn-Zn ferrites.…”
