- Milling is a highly active mechanical process which consists of grinding through impact, compression and attrition.
- the strain, shear, thermal and kinetic energy transforms all the solids involved from one phase or compound into another through polymorphic or solid state reactions.
- the process can be performed in different gas pressure, temperature and in dry or wet (different dispersing agents) conditions.
- polymorphic transformations the transition can take place from metastable to stable phases and vice versa, with possible binary coexistence in steady state equilibrium, depending on the mechanical treatment regime and conditions.

- Ball milling of ores, with and without additives, to facilitate the comminution process is not new.
- the early potential of ball milling for the reduction and extraction of ores has generally not been fulfilled, and interest in such ore processing technology has waned.
- the development of a new form of high energy ball mill at The Australian National University, and the success that has been achieved in mechanical alloying work with that ball mill (see, for example, the specifications of International Patent Application Nos. PCT/AU91/00248, PCT/AU92/00073 and PCT/AU94/00057, have stimulated new interest in the cold milling of ores. That new ball mill, which is described in the specification of International Patent Application No.
- PCT/AU90/00471 (WIPO Publication No. WO91 /04810), enables controlled energy milling of a charge to be effected.
- the present inventors have now discovered that under certain milling conditions, minerals containing silica, such as zircon, can be reduced while being converted into a nanostructural form, and that silica and other minerals can be removed from this product (for example, using hydrochloric acid).
- the present invention provides methods for production of a magnetic powder using ball milling.
- the present invention provides a method of production of a desirable magnetic powder from reduction of an oxide, comprising the steps of: providing a mixture of oxide and a reducing agent (dispersing liquid); controlled milling said mixture in a substantially low oxygen pressure environment to effect transformation of said oxide to a magnetic powder.

- said annealing step is performed at about 1200K. to 1600K for about 1-6 hours.
- said annealing step is performed at about 1273K.
- said milling step is performed in dry conditions in a vacuum, air or other gas atmosphere.
- particle size and size distribution of said milled product can be influenced depending on pressure and gas atmosphere.
- said particle size of said milled product is about 0.1 to 0.5 ⁇ m, when milled in air, or about 1 ⁇ m when milled in a vacuum.
- said milling step is performed utilising an organic solvent.

- XRD x-ray diffraction
- Fig. 4 The X-ray diffraction patterns of the materials obtained on milling BaFe,,0 19 powder in air for different periods of time are shown in Fig. 4. As can readily be seen several distinctive features occur on ball-milling in comparison with the XRD pattern for the pre-milled powder.
- the XRD pattern of the sample milled for 1000 hours allows a semi quantitative analysis of the discernible peaks.
- the (107)- 37.5°, (114)- 39.8°, (205)- 47.16°and (206)- 49.7° reflections of hexagonal Ba ferrite can be indexed along with the following dominant lines of the hematite ⁇ -Fe 2 0 3 structure (012) - 28.1°, (104) - 38.7°, (1 10) - 41.6°, (1 13) - 47.8°, (024) - 58.2° and (116) - 63.7°.
- Fig. 5 shows the XRD pattern evolution for BaFe.- j O,, powder processed in vacuum.
- the decrease of the peak intensities and continuous broadening of the Bragg peaks are evidence for the formation of a nanocrystalline phase and the effect is similar to that described above for air milled powder.
- the most evident changes here in comparison with Fig. 4 are the absence of strong material decomposition for the 690 h and 1000 h milled powders.
- a weak tendency for the onset of new peaks can be observed.
- the d, 07 spacing of the Ba-ferrite structure increases for vacuum milled powder contrary to the trend observed for air milled powder.
- We attribute this effect to mechanically induced structural deformations (responsible for long range disorder) of vacuum ball-milled material.
- the structural decomposition of Ba-ferrite is due to high oxygen gas adsorption on the particle surfaces. This effect will be clarified from detailed analysis of thermo-gravimetric data described below.
- micrograph (a) the cluster of small -1 ⁇ m particles around a larger one -10 ⁇ m is visible.
- the effect is due to strong magnetic interactions where the largest particle has a higher magnetic remanence. This will be discussed in detail below.
- the small particles and a large one are "alloyed" together. This behaviour is similar to mechanical alloying of metal particles where simultaneous plastic deformation and fracture of powder particles coexists.
- the particle surface evolves. It was found to be irregular, but the whole particle remains spherical. The surface layer seems to be highly disordered with crystal grains below 50 nm and the amount of these particles increases with milling time.
- thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) of AlOOO and VI 000 powders show directly the composition difference between each type of as milled sample.
- the observed weight decrease for air milled powder in the temperature range of 330-1070 K has a significantly high value of 6.62 wt. %. It was identified that oxygen loss (desorption) is mainly responsible.
- the final weight decrease in the temperature range of 920-1070 K can be attributed to barium ferrite structural restoration.
- the number of oxygen molecules 0 2 per one crystallographic Ba-ferrite unit cell (2 x at room temperature can be obtained by calculation from the weight loss and was found to be -1.2.
- Magnetic hysteresis parameters M s - volume saturation, M r - remanence and H c - coercivity. All parameters measured at room temperature. Maximum magnetic field applied I T. Second letter in sample description: A - annealed in air and V - annealed in vacuum.
- the hematite ( ⁇ -Fe 2 O 3 ) analytical purity 99.9% powder with particle size distribution into range 20-70 ⁇ m was introduced into the vial with or without dispersing liquid (5 ml) and sealed.
- the gas atmosphere inside the vial was controlled by a pressure valve. In this way air, argon, and low or high vacuum were used in the preparations.
- Fig 12 shows the time olut ⁇ on of XRD patterns oi ' milled hematite in el conditions
- the air was removed and consequently after each vial opening to take samples.
- the hematite - magnetite transformation was complete
- the product was found to be pure magnetite with perfect cubic crystallographic structure, described by space group Fd3m.
- Particle size distribution was decreased from 70-20 ⁇ m for ⁇ -Fe,0 3 to the micron range of 2-0. I ⁇ m for the final product. No other phases or amorphization effects were observed during processing or thereafter. No significant contamination from mill was detected (the mass of the balls remain constant).
- Some of the typical solvents used were: water, glycol (diethylene) and benzene compounds. The first two have dipolar molecules (polar type solvent) and the last one is a hydrocarbon.
- Full transformation occurs after - 220 hours and the process is 3 times slower than that for a sample milled directly without oxygen (vacuum or argon). It is noted again that the particle size influences the time required for transformation and the reduction mechanism is of physical rather than chemical origin. The effect of rupture of oxide surface layers under mechanical action may be taken into consideration, as well as surface stress as a driving force for the reduction and removal of oxygen.

Abstract
On soumet l'hématite à une transformation totale de phase pour produire de la magnétite, à la température ambiante, par activation magnétomécanique à l'état humide de l'hématite. L'activation mécanique à faible énergie de la surface oxydée est suffisante pour réaliser la transformation. Des liaisons oxygène sur une surface oxydée d'α-Fe2O3 sont apparemment rompues au cours du procédé d'activation mécanique et de l'oxygène est libéré (extrait) dans le liquide polaire de dispersion. La pression de l'oxygène au cours du procédé ainsi que la nature du liquide de dispersion ont une influence critique sur la rapidité et le succès de la transformation de phase. Ainsi, toutes les préparations réalisées en présence d'air, dans des conditions sèches ou avec des hydrocarbures saturés ou non polaires (benzène, anthracène) indiquent que le processus de réduction de l'hématite est inexistant ou très lent. Une pression d'air normale et/ou l'utilisation d'hydrocarbures ont pour effet de supprimer la transformation. Les effets d'un broyage prolongé en présence d'air et sous vide sur la morphologie des particules et la structure cristalline ionique de BaFe12O19 ont été analysés. Des expériences impliquant la diffraction des rayons X, la microscopie électronique à balayage et l'analyse thermique démontrent que, pour les matériaux broyés sous vide, la structure ordonnée se transforme progressivement en une phase nanocristalline désordonnée et stable. Pour des échantillons broyés à l'air, une décomposition chimique a été détectée en plus de la transformation structurale. L'application d'un traitement thermique reconstitue une structure cristalline de ferrite de baryum parfaite, les particules demeurant dans la plage submicronique. Lorsqu'il se produit des variations structurales au cours du recuit, les propriétés magnétiques sont modifiées. On a obtenu des comportements d'hystérésis radicalement différents pour des poudres recuites à 1273 K. La valeur de l'intensité d'aimantation, 4πMs = 335,4 - 347,2 kA/m, est proche de la valeur se rapportant aux poudres de ferrite prébroyées (inférieure de 10 %), mais la valeur de la force coercitive mesurée Hc = 393,9 - 445,6 kA/m, a été améliorée de façon notable par un facteur de 6 en raison de la structure fine des grains cristallins.
