Abstract

A method for producing a powdered iron oxide comprises the steps of adjusting the pH of a crude iron chloride solution to 2.5-4.5; reducing the P content of the solution by mechanical stirring or air bubbling and filtering; and oxidizing the solution into a powdered iron oxide having a maximum P content of 0.005 wt. %. The P content of the solution may also be reduced by ultrafilter treatment. The soft ferrite made by using the powdered iron oxide by this process shows excellent magnetic properties.
