Preparation of M-Ba-ferrite fine powders by sugar-nitrates process

摘要

In this paper, fine M-type barium hexaferrite (M-Ba-ferrite) particles were synthesized from sugar and nitrates by simple route, which revealed the feasibility of using sugar as chelating agent in forming solid precursors of BaFe12O19. The effects of factors, such as the molar ratio of Fe/Ba, calcination temperature and time, on the morphology, the phase component and the magnetic properties of M-type barium hexaferrite particles were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and physical property measurement system. The results showed that the molar ratio of Ba2+ to Fe3+ influenced significantly on the formation of the single phase barium ferrite. The hexagonal platelet barium ferrite particles with a specific saturation magnetization of 64.48 emu/g, remanence magnetization (Mr) of 33.84 emu/g, and coercive force (Hc) of 1848.85 Oe were obtained when the molar ratio of Fe/Ba was 11.5 and the calcination temperature was 1100 degrees C for 2 h.
