Production of Iron Oxide Nano Particles from Different Precursors<br />

Abstract— We produced monodisperse iron oxide nano particles between 6-21 nm from iron acetyl acetonate, iron oxide<br />

hydroxide, iron oleate and iron acetate procursors at different experimental conditions. It was observed that around 15 nm<br />

particles produced from iron oxide hydroxide and iron oleate precursors were more reliable, simple and economic.<br />

Iron nano particles have a great <strong>in</strong>terest because of<br />

magnetic, electric and catalytic properties [1-7]. Particulaly, <strong>in</strong><br />

Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS), which produces sulfur and<br />

aromatic free fuel, liquid hydrocarbons can be produced from<br />

synthesis gas (CO + H 2 ) over iron catalysis. Iron nano<br />

particles also play an important role <strong>in</strong> the carbon nanotube<br />

production. In these proseses, iron catalysis are prefered<br />

because of catalytic activity and economy [8-9].<br />

In this work, we explored the production of<br />

monodisperse iron nanoparticles between 6-21 nm from four<br />

different iron precursors by a thermal decomposition process.<br />

The precursors used were iron acetyl acetonate (Fe(acac) 3 ),<br />

iron oxide hydroxide (FeOOH), iron oleate and iron acetate<br />

(Fe(ac) 2 ). In the experiments, some experimental parameters<br />

were changed <strong>in</strong> order to tune the particle diameter of the iron<br />

oxide nanoparticles. The tables of experimental condititions as<br />

follows<br />

In summary, iron oxide nano particles hav<strong>in</strong>g 14 nm.<br />

diameter were produced at the end of the four stage process<br />

by iron acetylacetonate precursor. When iron oxide hydroxide<br />

precursor were used, <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g the surfactant amount as two<br />

times <strong>in</strong>creased the particle size from 10 nm to 17 nm. In the<br />

case of iron oleate precursor, when waited at 220 o C for 30<br />

m<strong>in</strong>. dur<strong>in</strong>g the reaction, the particle size <strong>in</strong>creased from 12.5<br />

to 15 nm. <strong>in</strong> a one stage reaction. The second experimental<br />

conditions of iron acetate <strong>in</strong> Table 4. gave more monodisperde<br />

nano particles than first experimental condition. Our results<br />

showed that iron oxides produced from iron oxide hydroxide<br />

and iron oleate precursors were more reliable, simple and<br />

economic.<br />
