The reduction process is very important for acicular magnetic powder preparation. In this paper
the mechanism of acicular ultrafine a-Fe2O3 particle reduction process was investigated by TPR
The study method for reduction kinetics was established and the operation condition was investigated. The kinetic equation for α-Fe2O3 reduction was proposed. This equation can be used at 300℃-450℃ for the reduction of pure α-Fe2O3 particles. The optimized temperature for acicular α- Fe2O3 powder reduction was at 360℃-400℃.
