Abstract
The use of NO adsorption for determination of Fe3O4 surface areas has been examined and extended, from earlier work on unsupported samples, to silica-supported Fe3O4. Gravimetric studies confirm earlier suggestions that the irreversible NO adsorption uptake on unsupported Fe3O4 is dependent upon sample pretreatment. Long (ca. 24 h) vacuum treatment at 650 K leads to increased apparent NO adsorption uptakes due to reduction of the surface. Magnetite particle size estimates were made using irreversible NO adsorption uptakes on silica-supported Fe3O4 samples that had received a "standard" 1 h vacuum pretreatment at 650 K. These estimates agreed well with average particle sizes calculated using x-ray line-broadening and magnetization measurements, indicating that NO adsorption can, in fact, be used to measure magnetite surface areas on silica-supported samples.
