Abstract

The $ZnFe_2O_4$ powder was prepared under glycothermal conditions by precipitation from metal nitrates with aqueous potassium hydroxide. The fine powder was obtained at temperatures as low as 225 to $300^{\circ}C$. The microstructure and phase of the $ZnFe_2O_4$ powder were studied by SEM and XRD. The properties of the powder were studied as a function of various parameters (reaction temperature, reaction time, solid loading, etc). The average particle size of the $ZnFe_2O_4$ increased with increasing reaction temperature. After glycothermal treatment at $270^{\circ}C$ for 8 h, the average particle diameter of the $ZnFe_2O_4$ was about 50 nm.

$ZnFeO_4$ 분말은 금속 질산염을 수산화 칼슘으로 침전시켜 이를 1,4-부탄에디을 속에서 비교적 고온고압을 가하여 얻어졌다. 미분말이 얻어진 온도는 225-$300^{\circ}C$, 압력은 1-3.5 MPa이였다. 분말의 미세구조는 주사전자현미경으로 결정상은 X-선 회절 분석으로 행하였다. 분말의 물성과 반응온도, 반응시간 및 농도의 관계를 조사하였다. $ZnFe_2O_4$ 분말의 평균입자 크기는 반응온도와 시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. $270^{\circ}C$에서 8시간 반응을 행한 경우의 평균입자 크기는 약 50 nm였다.
