Formation of cobalt ferrite nanopowders in an impinging-jets microreactor

Abstract

The dependence of cobalt ferrite nanosized powder production process on the synthesis method and conditions was studied. The paper shows the possibility for producing nanocrystalline CoFe2 O4 with an average particle size of 12 nm under conditions of an impinging-jets microreactor at room temperature. The influence exerted by the parameters of process implementation in the microreactor on phase formation in the CoO–Fe2 O3 – H2 O system was analyzed.
