Abstract

Goethite nanopowder was prepared in the process of chemical precipitation of iron salt (FCl3) and alkali (NaOH) with addition of various surface active substances (SAS): cation-active cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), anion-active sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and complexon EDTA. The concentrations of SAS were 0.3% and 1%. It could be deduced from TEM data that these SASes unambiguously influence sizes of prepared goethite particles, compared with samples, obtained without SAS: in case of adding 1% SDS and EDTA significant crystal growth takes place. To explain this situation the study of magnetic characteristics and phase composition of obtained nanoparticles was carried out using Mossbauer spectroscopy and thermomagnetic analysis (TMA). It was suggested, that different organic Fe3+- complexes formed on goethite surface under SAS influence take part in the goethite crystallization process.
