Flower-Like -Fe₂O₃ for Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater.

In the present work flower-like, -Fe₂O₃ were synthesized by ethylene-glycol mediated polyol method. The synthesized flower-like, -Fe₂O₃ were separated cadmium (C) chromium (Cr) and lead ions (Pb) from wastewater. XRD pattern and FESEM images show the obtained sample is pure hematite and flower-like nanostructures average particle sizes 4.

Morphological, Magnetic and Optical Properties of -Fe₂O₃ Nanoflowers.

We report the morphological, structural and magnetic properties of the flower like iron oxide α-Fe2O3 samples prepared by the polyol method. The α-Fe2O3 samples were prepared by using different amount of the iron chloride in the starting materials and the impact of the different iron chloride amount on the morphology of the precursor and after heat treatment of the samples was investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of the α-Fe2O3 phase without detecting any impurity phase.
