Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to improved cobalt-substituted gamma -ferric oxide magnetic powder suitable for application in magnetic recording. Said powder comprises a batch composition which is characterized by addition of controlled amounts of at least one compound selected from the group of NH4, Cu, Li, Pb, Sn, Ba, Cd, Sr and In halide compounds to the mixture of acicular powder of goethite with a controlled amount of cobalt compound, said batch composition being mixed, heated at a temperature from 300* to 600*C in a reducing gas atmosphere, and finally oxidized at a temperature from 150*C to 350*C in air or oxygen gas atmosphere.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A METHOD OF PREPARING A MAGNETIC POWDER CONSISTING MAINLY OF COBALT-SUBSTITUTED Y-FERRIC OXIDE, WHICH ESSENTIALLY COMPRISES DISPERSING ACICULAR POWDER OF GOETHITE INTO AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF A COBALT COMPOUND,PRECIPITATING ALL OF THE COBALT IONS IN THE FORM OF COBALT HYDROXIDE BY ADDITION OF A PRECIPITATING REAGENT INTO THE AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF COBALT COMPOUND, FILTERING THE RESULTANT MIXTURE OF GOETHITE AND COBALT HYDROXIDE, THE ATOMIC PERCENT OF FE IN SAID GOETHITE-COBALT HYDROXIDE MIXTURE BEING 90.0 TO 99.5 AND THE ATOMIC % OF CO BEING 0.5 TO 10.0, MIXING 0.5 TO 15 MOL. % IN TOTAL, OF AT LEAST ONE HALIDE SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF NH4X, CUX, LIX, PBX2, SNX2, BAX2, SRX2 AND INX3, WHEREIN X IS F, C1, BR OR 1, WITH 85 TO 99.5 MOL. % OF THE MIXTURE OF GOETHITE AND COBALT HYDROXIDE, HEATING THE FINAL MIXTURE AS A TEMPERATURE FROM 300*CTO 6000*C IN A REDUCING GAS ATMOSPHERE, AND FINALLY OXIDIZING THE FINAL MIXTURE AT A TEMPERATURE FROM 150*C TO 350*C IN AIR OR OXYGEN GAS ATMOSPHERE.
