Abstract
Abstract A ferromagnetic chromium dioxide stabilized by coating the particles thereof with a stabilizing substance is disclosed, wherein the stabilizing substance consists essentially of an equimolecular mixture of Fe2O3 and MnO or of a mixture of ferrite MeFe2O4 with oxides Fe2O3 and MeO, wherein Me represents Cu, Co, Zn or Mg and wherein the molar ratio Fe2O3/MeO is equal to 1, the quantity of the ferrite in the mixture being such as results from calcining, at temperature between 250 DEG and 350 DEG C., equimolecular quantities of Fe2O3 and MeO. A process for obtaining the stabilized CrO2 is also disclosed wherein the CrO2 is dispersed in water and on it are co-precipitated Fe(OH)3 and Mn(OH)2 or Me(OH)2 in stoichiometric quantities with respect to each other; after which the CrO2, in admixture with the hydroxides, is separated from the water, dried at a temperature not exceeding 100 DEG C. and then calcined at temperatures between 250 DEG and 350 DEG C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A ferromagnetic chromium dioxide stabilized by coating the particles thereof with a stabilizing substance, characterized in that the stabilizing substance consists essentially of a mixture of ferrite MeFe 2 O 4 with alpha-Fe 2 O 3 and MeO, wherein Me represents Cu, Co, Zn or Mg and where the molar ratio Fe 2 O 3 /MeO is equal to 1, said substance being present in an amount between 2 and 12% by weight based on the CrO 2 and having been formed in situ by precipitating onto the surface of the CrO 2 particles quantities of Fe(OH) 3 that are equivalent to a molar ratio Fe 2 O 3 /MeO of 1 and Me(OH) 2 , drying the chromium dioxide coated with the hydroxides and calcining it at a temperature between 250° and 350° C., the quantity of the ferrite in the substance being that which is formed at said calcination temperature.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A ferromagnetic chromium dioxide stabilized by coating the particles thereof with a stabilizing substance, characterized in that the stabilizing substance consists essentially of a mixture of ferrite MeFe 2 O 4 with alpha-Fe 2 O 3 and MeO, wherein Me represents Cu, Co, Zn or Mg and where the molar ratio Fe 2 O 3 /MeO is equal to 1, said substance being present in an amount between 2 and 12% by weight based on the CrO 2 and having been formed in situ by precipitating onto the surface of the CrO 2 particles quantities of Fe(OH) 3 that are equivalent to a molar ratio Fe 2 O 3 /MeO of 1 and Me(OH) 2 , drying the chromium dioxide coated with the hydroxides and calcining it at a temperature between 250° and 350° C., the quantity of the ferrite in the substance being that which is formed at said calcination temperature.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A chromium dioxide according to claim 1, characterized in that Me is either Cu or Co.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
81 words
A process for obtaining CrO 2 stabilized according to claim 1, characterized in that the CrO 2 is dispersed in water and that on it are coprecipitated quantities of Fe(OH) 3 and Me(OH) 2 that are equivalent to a molar ratio Fe 2 O 3 /MeO of 1 and in that the CrO 2 , containing the coprecipitated hydroxides, is separated from the water, dried at a temperature not exceeding 100° C. and calcined at temperatures between 250° and 350° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
67 words
A process according to claim 3, characterized in that Fe(OH) 3 and Me(OH) 2 are co-precipitated by reaction of water-soluble Me and ferric or ferrous iron salts with an aqueous solution of an alkaline hydroxide or of ammonia and that, in the case of a ferrous salt, first there is precipitated Fe(OH) 2 and this is then oxidized to Fe(OH) 3 by means of an oxidizing agent.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process according to claim 4, characterized in that the oxidation of Fe(OH) 2 is carried out by bubbling air or oxygen through the reaction medium.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process according to any one of claims 3 to 5, characterized in that the calcining is carried out at temperatures between 300° and 350° C.
