Description:
This research work explored the synthesis and characterization of magnetic manganese ferrites using a simple combustion method. The purpose of creating the magnetic manganese ferrites was for their planned use as ozonation catalysts. Their magnetic properties allow for their recovery from the treatment system. Magnetic manganese ferrites were prepared by mixing manganese nitrate and iron nitrate in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:2. Polyvinyl alcohol was added to the mixed metal salt solution and the ratio of PVA: total nitrate salt added was varied from 1:1 up to 1:2 by weight. The resulting particles were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), tunneling electron microscope (TEM), and Ultraviolet–Visible spectroscopy (UV/Vis). Key words: Synthesis, Magnetic particles, Water treatment
