Preparation and Characterization of Magnetite Nanoparticles

Abstract:

The preparation of magnetite nanoparticles with controlled size has attracted of scientific and technological broad attention. Spherical magnetite nanoparticles in the size range from 8nm to 22 nm were synthesized by coprecipiation method using hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as dispersant. Magnetite nanoparticles have good dispersibility and uniform particles size distribution. The properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), automated surface area and pore size analyzer, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and the catalytic performance was measured using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The saturation magnetization is 13.785emu/g, and the coercive force of the sample is 23.738G, the average size of the particles is 13.6 nm, specific surface area is 19.318 m²/g and phenol conversion is up to 99.5%. These results indicate the synthesized magnetite particles have good performance.
