Abstract
The process of mechanochemical dehydration of γ-FeOOH has been investigated. It has been established that grinding of γ-FeOOH leads to its direct transformation into α-Fe2O3. The IR spectroscopy and X-ray phase analyses did not detect γ-Fe2O3 in the dehydration products. During dehydration, α-Fe2O3 with a defective magnetic structure is formed. The smallest size of the hematite particles obtained is 10 nm. The difference between mechanochemical and controlled thermal dehydration of γ-FeOOH is discussed.
