Abstract

The effect of simultaneous ultrasonic and thermal treatment on kinetics and mechanism of nickel ferrite formation was studied. It was established that sonication leads to notable increase of the mean rate of this reaction and decrease of effective activation energy from 190 ± 5 to 125 ± 7 kJ/mol. XRD data show that ultrasonic treatment significantly affects the microstructure of both initial reagent (Fe2O3) and reaction product (NiFe2O4) thus promoting formation of well developed reaction zone. A general model of ferrite formation mechanism under high temperature ultrasonic treatment was proposed.
