Abstract
Attempts have been made to obtain MgFe2O4 powder by magnesium corrosion approach with refluxing process at 333 K making use of anhydrous ethanol as a solvent and ferric chloride as a catalyst for a period of 7.2 ks. The mixture of corrosion products was sintered at more than 1273 K for 7.2 ks, a few micron size MgFe2O4 particles have been identified by XRD analysis and SEM observation. From the electrochemical point of view, the preparation of MgFe2O4 powder was explained as a corrosion product of magnesium and by the stimulation of corrosion reaction by addition of ferric chloride.
