Production method
The reactor is a three-neck bottle with an electromagnetic stirrer, a condenser tube and a separatory funnel. In the reaction bottle, 0.0800mol of iron powder and 0.0400mol of cobalt acetate are dissolved in 400mL of acetic acid solution (volume ratio 1: 3). The air in the reaction bottle is replaced with nitrogen, and the nitrogen enters the bottle through the intake pipe and is discharged through the condenser pipe. Under rapid stirring, gradually heat the temperature to reach the boiling point, so that the iron powder is completely dissolved. The oxalic acid solution prepared by dissolving 15.6g H2C2O4 · H2O in 100mL of water is placed in a separatory funnel, the oxalic acid solution is quickly added to the boiling acetate solution under stirring, and the grass in the separatory funnel is pickled with several milliliters of boiling water into a three-neck bottle to generate oxalate precipitation. The mixture is continuously heated and stirred for 10min before cooling. During the entire operation of the reaction, nitrogen is introduced for protection. The precipitates were separated in a glass sand core funnel, washed with water and dried with acetone. The obtained oxalate is slowly heated and decomposed with sufficient air at a heating temperature of about 600°C. The product obtained by decomposition is an extremely fine powder with poor crystallinity. Put this product into a platinum dish and burn it at 1000 ℃ to obtain a spinel structure with ideal chemical formula CoFe2O4.
