Abstract
MnZn ferrite powders were prepared based on the novel nano in situ composite method and through chemical sol-spray drying–calcination technology. The precursor powders were calcined at 1060 °C at different calcination times (1–9 h) to research the influences of the calcination time on MnZn ferrite powders. The research results revealed that all samples had similar morphologies composed of fine particles. The pure MnZn ferrite spinel phase can only be obtained when the calcination time does not exceed 3 h. Otherwise, some α-Fe2O3 or γ-Fe2O3 impurities will appear. The particle size descended with an increasing calcination time and then ascended. After 3 h of preservation, the smallest particle size was obtained, and it exhibited a unimodal distribution. The saturation magnetization (Ms) increased at first and decreased later with an increasing calcination time, and the optimal value (53.4 emu/g) was reached after holding for 3 h. In view of this work, the optimal calcination time is 3 h.
