Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a process for producing magnetic particle powder of acicular ferric oxide used for a magnetic recording material comprising (A) reducing acicular goethite particle powder to obtain acicular magnetite particle powder, (B) heating said acicular magnetite particle powder and thereby making the partial pressure of oxygen in said acicular magnetite particle powder reach the equilibrium value and (C) oxidizing said acicular magnetite particle powder to obtain gamma-hematite (maghemite) particle powder, and magnetic particle powder produced thereby.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
In the production of acicular gamma-ferromagnetic iron oxide from acicular goethite, wherein the acicular goethite is reduced to acicular magnetite and the resultant magnetite is oxidized to gamma-hematite retaining the particle shape of the starting material, the improvement for obtaining gamma-hematite having improved magnetic properties which comprises heating the acicular magnetite obtained from the reduction of the acicular goethite, prior to subjecting it to oxidation, at a constant temperature in the range of 200°-800° C. in an inert gas atmosphere having a partial pressure of oxygen controlled at a constant value in the range of 0.001-1% by weight and for the time sufficient to make the partial pressure of the acicular magnetite reach the equilibrium value according to Gibb's phase rule under said conditions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
