Abstract

A new catalyst is produced using Fe(NO3)3·9H2O, Co(NO3)2·6H2O and Mn(NO3)2·4H2O. The magnetic properties of the nanoparticles of “iron–cobalt–manganese catalysts (ICMC)” have been studied, with magnesium oxide as a support employing co-precipitation method. The effects of calcination and drying conditions such as temperature, time, and different percentage of MgO-supported Fe–Co–Mn oxides on the magnetic properties were investigated using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Our results indicated that calcination at 600 °C can change magnetic phase of the sample, and calcination at 700 °C changed the sample from ferromagnetic to superparamagnetic by adding 15% MgO into the ICMC. By increasing the calcination temperature, the values of remnant magnetization (M r) and saturation magnetization (M S) were increased. By increasing the calcination time duration, values of the M r and coercivity (H C) were increased. Furthermore, when the percentages of MgO increased, the values of M r, M S, and H C were decreased. It was observed that most variables in the experiments affected the magnetic properties of the new catalysts.
