in this research, the effects of oxygen injection during the induration process were studied in order to improve the quality specifications and increase the rate of production of the iron oxide pellets. several experiments were carried out in palletizing pilot plant in different conditions of oxygen injection. the results suggested that if only the extra oxygen was injected into the furnace in ...

Induration of magnetite pellet involves three important phenomena, namely oxidation, sintering and associate heat transfer; these phenomena are interdependent on determining the final quality of the pellet. In order to study the sintering a novel optical dilatometric method was used. These studies were performed separately for magnetite and completely oxidized magnetite. Further, the sintering ...

The preparation of Fe3O4 from ferrous salt by air in alkaline aqueous solution at various temperatures was proposed. The synthetic magnetites have different particle size distributions. We studied the properties of the magnetite prepared by chemical methods compared with magnetotactic bacterial nanoparticles. The results show that crystallite size, morphology, and particle size distribution of ...

We report the thermal annealing-induced formation of ring-like structure of Zn(II)-doped magnetite from iron alkoxide leaf-like nanoplate precusor. The phase, structure and morphology of magnetite nanorings were comprehensively characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscope, scanning electron microscope, and transmission electron microscope....

I-Xe ages of Murchison and Orgueil magnetites were reported to be the oldest [1] and interpreted as the condensation time of the solar nebula. More recent measurements, conducted on a highly magnetic separate from Orgueil (but not pure magnetite), gave much younger I-Xe ages [2]. We have since performed new studies on two pure separates of Orgueil magnetite, confirming the later closing time of...

The crystal structure of Fe(3)O(4) below the 122 K Verwey transition has been refined using high-resolution x-ray and neutron powder diffraction data. The refinements give direct evidence for charge ordering (CO) over four independent octahedral Fe sites, two with a charge of +2.4 and the other two of +2.6. CO schemes consistent with our model do not meet the widely accepted Anderson condition ...

This work presents a new method to prepare monodisperse magnetite nanoparticles capping with new cationic surfactants based on rosin. Core/shell type magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized using bis-N-(3-levopimaric maleic acid adduct-2-hydroxy) propyl-triethyl ammonium chloride (LPMQA) as capping agent. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was employed to characterize the nanoparti...

Magnetite nanoparticles are of great importance in nanotechnology and nanomedicine and have found manifold applications. Here, the effect of coating of magnetite nanoparticles with organic stabilizers, such as O-phosphoryl ethanolamine, glycerol phosphate, phospho-l-ascorbic acid, phospho-d,l-serine, glycolic acid, lactic acid, d,l-malic acid, and d,l-mandelic acid was studied. Remarkably, this...

Spherical microparticles, capable of responding to magnetic fields, were prepared by encapsulating dextran-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles into chitosan poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) microspheres template. The obtained magnetic microspheres were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffra...
