Production

The iron oxide pigments described in Section 5.1.1 are either doped or coated with cobalt:

1. Body-doped pigments contain 2-5 wt.% cobalt that is uniformly distributed throughout the bulk of the pigment particles. It is either incorporated during pro­duction of the FeOOH precursor or precipitated as the hydroxide onto one of the intermediate products [5.13] using cobalt(II) salts as the cobalt source.

2. Cobalt-coated pigment particles (1.6-4 wt.% Co) consist of a core of y-Fe2O3 or non-stoichiometric iron oxide phase, and a 1-2 nm coating of cobalt ferrite with a

high coercivity [5.14]. The coating can be produced by adsorption of cobalt hydroxide, or epitaxial precipitation of cobalt ferrite in a strongly alkaline medium [5.15, 5.16]. Surface coated pigments show better magnetic stability than doped pigments.
