Benefits of technology

[0007] The present invention has been conducted for solving the above conventional problems. A first object of the present invention is to provide spinel-type ferrimagnetic particles exhibiting not only a high coercive force irrespective of fine particles, but also excellent dispersibility and chemical stability.
[0009] As a result of the present inventors' earnest studies, it has been found that the spinel-type ferrimagnetic particles comprising iron and a divalent metal, which contain a superparamagnetic component in a specific amount, are coated on the surface thereof with a specific hydroxide, and have an average particle diameter of not more than 30 nm, can exhibit not only a high coercive force irrespective of fine particles, but also excellent dispersibility and chemical stability. The present invention has been attained on the basis of the above finding.

Problems solved by technology

However, the magnetic recording media using these conventional spinel-type ferrimagnetic particles are still unsatisfactory as magnetic recording media for high-density recording which are required to exhibit not only a high reliability but also an improved weather resistance.

example 1

[0095] Ferric chloride hexahydrate, cobalt chloride hexahydrate, nickel chloride hexahydrate and manganese chloride tetrahydrate as metal salts were respectively dissolved in pure water in a 10 L resin beaker, thereby preparing 10 L of each of an aqueous solution containing 0.225 mol / L of Fe3+, an aqueous solution containing 0.10 mol / L of Co2+, an aqueous solution containing 0.08 mol / L of Ni2+ and an aqueous solution containing 0.02 mol / L of Mn2+. Then, a 20 L resin container equipped with a stirrer and a thermometer was charged with 4 L of the Fe3+-containing aqueous solution, 2 L of the Co2+-containing aqueous solution, 2 L of the Ni2+-containing aqueous solution and 2 L of the Mn2+-containing aqueous solution to prepare 10 L of a mixed aqueous solution having a molar ratio (Fe / Co+Ni+Mn) of 2.25. The thus obtained mixed aqueous solution was heated to 50° C. while fully stirring (solution A). Next, 7.2 L of a 1.0 mol / L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (solution B) was charged into...

, Comparative Example 1 and Reference Examples 1 and 2

[0111] The same procedure as defined in Example 1 was conducted except that the production conditions of the spinel-type ferrimagnetic particles were variously changed, thereby obtaining spinel-type ferrimagnetic particles. The essential production conditions are shown in Tables 4 to 9; properties of the obtained co-precipitated particles are shown in Table 10; properties of the acid-etched spinel-type ferrimagnetic particles are shown in Table 11; properties of the finally obtained spinel-type ferrimagnetic particles are shown in Tables 12 to 13; and properties of the magnetic coating film produced using the spinel-type ferrimagnetic particles are shown in Table 14. Meanwhile, as a result of Moessbauer spectrum measurements of the spinel-type ferrimagnetic particles obtained in Examples 2 to 7, it was confirmed that any of the particles contained substantially no superparamagnetic component (not more than 1% by mass).
