Abstract

A process for producing cobalt-modified iron oxide particles, which comprises the steps of: PA1 (1) adding to magnetic iron oxide particles PA2 (a) a cobalt compound, PA2 (b) an iron component which is either (b.sub.1) a ferric compound at an atomic ratio to the cobalt compound in the range of 0.68 to 2 or (b.sub.2) a combination of a ferrous compound and a ferric compound, and PA2 (c) an alkali at a concentration enough to cause the cobalt and iron to precipitate as hydroxides; and PA1 (2) heating the mixture at a temperature of at least 50.degree. C. and not higher than the reflux temperature thereof in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
