Abstract
Iron phosphate was prepared from iron nitrate and phosphoric acid with sodium dodecyl-sulfate at various stirring hours. The chemical composition of the obtained samples was estimated from ICP and XRD measurements. Particle shape and size distribution were observed by SEM images and laser diffraction / scattering methods. Further, the catalytic activity was studied with the decomposition of the complex between hormaldehyde and acetylacetone. Samples heated at 600°C indicated XRD peaks of FePO4. Iron phosphates heated at 200 and 400°C works as a catalyst.
