Abstract

In this paper, BaFe2O4 was prepared from BaCO3 and Fe2O3 powders through the solid state reaction method. This method starts by mixing the barium carbonate and iron oxide in order to homogenize the raw materials and takes place in a wet medium. For a better homogenization of BaCO3 and Fe2O3 powders and in order to reduce the monoferrite formation temperature, it was used the mechanical alloying process for 3 and 9 hours in a high energy ball mill. Particle size distributions of the milled powders were analyzed by a BROOKHAVEN 90PLUS device. To understand the phase formation temperature, thermogravimetry analysis was carried out. The phase identification of the calcined powder was carried out by D8 Discover Bruker X-ray diffractometer. The results showed that once with the reduction of powders particle size, in the mechanical alloying process, the temperature of the solid state reaction of barium monoferrite was also reduced.
