Abstract:
The invention relates to ferromagnetic chromium dioxide crystals which are particularly suitable as magnetic pigments for magnetic recording media and which are stabilized by sparingly watersoluble metal compounds whose cations form sparingly watersoluble metal chromates (such as lead hydroxide, barium phosphate, lead silicate and calcium sulfate) applied to, and particularly precipitated onto, the surface thereof, and to a process for their production.
Abstract:
The invention relates to ferromagnetic chromium dioxide crystals which are particularly suitable as magnetic pigments for magnetic recording media and whose surface, for the purpose of stabilization, is protected with antimony or arsenic compounds which are sparingly soluble in water, and to a process for the production of chromium dioxide crystals thus stabilized by the precipitation of antimony or arsenic compounds which are sparingly soluble in water.
Abstract:
A multi-trace element fertilizer which contains magnesium as a further nutrient and in which the complex-forming trace elements are present in the form of anionic chelates with one or more N-carboxyalkylaminoacids is prepared by a process wherein the N-carboxyalkylaminoacids are reacted, in the presence of water, with the trace elements or trace element compounds in a molar ratio of N-carboxyalkylaminoacids to trace elements or trace element compounds of not less than 0.8:1, at least 20% by weight of the trace element compounds being oxides, hydroxides and/or carbonates. At the same time, or subsequently, the pH of the solution is brought to 3.5-6 by adding a member selected from the group consisting of magnesium oxide, hydroxide and carbonate. A maximum of 50 equivalent percent of the magnesium compound may however be replaced by a member selected from the group consisting of alkali metal oxides, hydroxides and carbonates and ammonia.
