Preparation of Active Iron powder by Electrochemical method

Abstract

In this work, active iron powder was prepared at high purity 99.9% and partical size less than 53 micron by using electrolytic cell contained an electrolyte of ferrous sulphate (70 gm /L) ,Sodium chloride (100 gm /L),at temperature of 80C and pH 2.0. Seven Steel electrodes were used as anodes and cathodes.The product is suitable for use in metalloceramic applications and manufacture of parts for machinery ,various alloys ,in chemical industry ,re-chargeable batteries The procedure ,the equipments and results were described .
