Abstract
An oxidation roasting technology has been reported as an effective technology for successfully synthesizing nickel manganese ferrite NixMn1-xFe2O4 (0 < x < 1) with a spinel crystal structure. The experimental results demonstrated the successful synthesis of nickel manganese ferrite Ni0.5Mn0.5Fe2O4 samples with relatively high purities at an oxidation roasting temperature of 1200 °C for 2 h with a Ni:Mn:Fe molar ratio of 1:1:4. The synthesized samples exhibited a magnetization saturation (Ms) value of 53.71 emu/g, a coercivity (Hc) value of 34.88 Oe, and a remanent magnetization (Mr) of 3.64 emu/g. Additionally, these samples had a total pore volume of 0.071 cm3/g, a Specific Surface Area (SSA) of 24.13 cm2/g, and an Average Particle Size (APS) of 12.32 nm. It was concluded that the synthesis route of NixMn1-xFe2O4 could be theoretically summarized into two routes. One route involves the simultaneous substitution of divalent iron (Fe2+) and trivalent iron (Fe3+) in the spinel structure of (Fe)[Fe]2O4 by divalent manganese ions (Mn2+) and trivalent nickel ions (Ni3+), resulting in the formation of (Mn)x(Fe)1-x[Ni]y[Fe]2-yO4 with a spinel crystal structure. In this structure, the Ni3+ ions preferentially occupy the octahedral sites, whereas the Mn2+ ions predominantly reside in the tetrahedral sites of the nickel manganese ferrites (Mn)x(Fe)1-x[Ni]y[Fe]2-yO4. Furthermore, the mixed spinel crystal structure of (Ni)y(Fe)1-y[Mn]x[Fe]2-xO4 could be transformed into nickel manganese ferrite (Mn)x(Fe)1-x[Ni]y[Fe]2-yO4 under the influence of a higher oxidization roasting temperature. Nickel manganese ferrite NixMn1-xFe2O4 (0 < x < 1) with normal and inverse spinel structures inevitably coexists and co-transformed in the synthesis process of NixMn1-xFe2O4 by oxidation roasting technology.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
