| Summary: | Magnesium ferrite (MgFe2O4) nano-particles were synthesized by using both the
ceramic method and egg white assisted green synthesis method. The ceramic
method carried out at different temperatures while the combustion method
achieved at 300 oC for quarter-hour with various amounts of egg white. The
green synthesis method was found to be a simple and cost-effective method
compared to the ceramic method. Significant effects of the calcination
temperatures and concentration of egg white on the observed phases, sizes,
lattice parameters and morphological properties of the as-synthesized
nanoparticles have been studied. Investigation of the structural and
morphological characteristics of the as prepared samples was determined by
XRD and SEM techniques, respectively. However, the relative atomic abundance
of Mg, Fe and oxygen species present in various solids were determined by
the EDX technique. The results display the nanometer size and partially
inverse spinel structure of MgFe2O4 studied. |
