    Abstract: A ferrous salt soln. is treated with 0.05-1% (w.r.t. the wt. of Fe2+ ions) of cuprous or cupric ions and/or 0.05-1% Pb4+ ions; NH4OH or alkali(ne earth) hydroxides; oxidising gases; more Fe2+ cpds.; and more alkali to obtain a pH of 4.8-6, so that lepidocrocite is pptd. The lepidocrocite is reduced to magnetite and then oxidised to acicular gamma-Fe2O3 (I). The lepidocrocite is pref. dewatered at 300-620 degrees C prior to redn. The process is used for mfr. of (I) with high coercive force, good crystallinity, and good mechanical and magnetic stability for magnetic recording tapes.
