BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Magnetite black pigments (also known as iron black, triiron tetroxide) are useful as cosmetic pigments. In other words, magnetite black pigments with a particle size of 0.1 μm or less have a transparent appearance because their particle size is equal to or smaller than the wavelength of visible light, and therefore, when used in cosmetics, they have a deep and deep appearance. It has the characteristic of producing black color.

However, the conventional method for producing magnetite black pigments involves adding an alkali to an aqueous solution containing ferrous ions to produce ferrous hydroxide, and then heating and raising the temperature while blowing air or oxygen gas. Although magnetite is produced, the particle size of the magnetite black pigment particles obtained by this method is larger than 0.1 μm. Therefore, even if this is made into an aqueous dispersion, the dispersed particles tend to settle.
Furthermore, it was difficult to obtain a desired transparency.

In applications other than cosmetics, magnetite is also used in magnetic toners for electrostatic copying machines. In this case, in order to make the image clear, the particle size of the magnetite black pigment is required to be within the range of 0.1 to 0.01 μm. That is, fine particles having a particle size smaller than 0.01 μm are difficult to uniformly disperse in the toner binder resin.
