Jinchun Group Co., Ltd., Jinchang 737104, China Received 23 July 2012; accepted 8 May 2013 Abstract: Fine nickel ferrite precursors NiFe (C O ) ·6H O were obtained via co-precipitation method with low grade nickel matte 2 2 4 3 2 as the raw material. Thermodynamic analysis of NiCl −FeCl −(NH ) C O −H O system for precipitation identified that the 2 2 4 2 2 4 2 theoretical optimum co-precipitation pH value is 2, and C O2− has strong complexation with Ni2+ and Fe2+ ions. Based on these 2 4 theoretical considerations, the effects of parameters on the precipitation rates and precursors size were investigated systematically. The results show that the optimum co-precipitation conditions are pH=2, temperature 45 °C, 1.2 times theoretical amount of (NH ) C O dosage and 3% PEG400 addition. Under these conditions, the precipitation rates of Ni2+ and Fe2+ are both over 99.8%, 4 2 2 4 with the precursors size of 1−2 um. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) demonstrate
