Synthesis and characterization of Nanoparticles Iron (ІІ) Sulfate Heptahydrate (FeSO4.7H2O)

This research. Iron (ІІ) Sulfate Heptahydrate (FeSO4.7H2O) was synthesized by planetary high-energy ball mill. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and also size and structure of synthesized nanoparticles were studied by analyzing X-ray diffraction (XRD) and morphology of surface and structure of synthesized nanoparticles were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Nanocrystalline metallic compounds are said to have enhanced ductility and yield strength as compared to conventional grain-sized materials [1-2]. The type of mill employed in the mechanical milling process accounts for different milling mechanisms, that is, the way in which the available energy is transferred from the milling media to the material. Developed by Benjamin, mechanical alloying (MA) is an alternative technique for the fabrication of powder particles [3].
