Title: Process for making ferrite spherical particulate toner core from raw fly ash

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5951495

This patent describes a process for making a ferrite spherical particulate toner carrier core from raw fly ash obtained from burning coal comprising (a) recovering the magnetic particles from the non-magnetic particles of the raw fly ash; (b) selecting a desired size for the particles of the raw fly ash and screening the fly ash to obtain the desired sized particles; and (c) purifying the raw fly ash treated according to steps (a) and (b) to obtain a ferrite composition having a particle size from 20-300 microns, in which the particles are essentially spherical, having an apparent density of at least 1.8 g/cm/sup 3/; a saturation magnetization of 43-70 emu/g; a remanence of 5 emu/g or less; a Hall Flow of 20 sec. or greater/50 g.
