“…The peak positions and relative intensities of the XRD patterns can be seen at 2θ = 30.08°, 35.42°, 43.06°, 56.94°, 62.52° and 74.96°, which are the reflection peaks from the (220), (311), (400), (511), (440) and (533) lattice planes. These iron oxide particle XRD patterns are in good agreement with the standard magnetite particle XRD patterns [18,[21][22][23][24][25]. At these conditions, the magnetite particles are generated by the following reactions: ferric hydroxide (Fe(OH) 3 ) is transformed to ferrous hydroxide (Fe(OH) 2 ) grows on goethite (FeOOH).…”
