1. Introduction
Nanocrystalline ferrite powders including cobalt ferrite powder are potentially widely used in medicine [1-8], catalysis [8-13], electronics, power industry and in other fields of engineering and technology [14-22]. For nanopar-ticles to be effectively used, as a rule, they should have not only small size but also quite narrow size distribution [3-5,16,23]. Therefore, it is of interest to study the formation processes of nanocrystalline cobalt-ferrite-based powder allowing the creation of slightly agglomerated crystalline nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution. Methods belonging to the group of "soft chemistry" techniques are often used for these purposes [13-19,24-34]. A method for combined hydrothermal and microwave treatment of hydroxides [31-35] is one of the promising methods for the
synthesis of nanosized powders; when this method is used, the hydrothermal medium is heated due to exposure to the microwave radiation. The earlier studies [35,36] showed that CoFe2O4 nanocrystals were already formed within the first minute of synthesis at a temperature of 130 ° C in the mode of microwave heating of co-precipitated cobalt and iron hydroxides. Such high rate of synthesis of nanocrystalline CoFe2O4 was associated with the formation of prenu-cleation cluster hydroxides with a structure, which was similar to that of cobalt ferrite, in the initial mixture [35,36]. Another condition, in addition to the creation of nucleation clusters in the reaction medium, which provides a high rate of formation of the final product, is a decrease in the path length of the reagents and an increase in the rate of their transport in the reaction zone [37]. One of the ways to ensure the rapid course of chemical reactions is a high level of spatial contact of the initial components [24,35,36,40,41]. According to [42-44], it is possible to avoid spatial
separation of the components during the synthesis of oxide nanoparticles resulting from the difference in pH values of hydroxide precipitation and variations in temperatures of their dehydration by using a method for microreactor
synthesis with freely impinging jet-jets. Equipment of this type can provide for the rapid contact and micromixing of reagents, high level of reaction zone localization, and fast discharge of reaction products [42-49]. For example, the studies [43, 44] showed that the use of microreactor synthesis resulted in obtaining nanocrystalline cobalt ferrite with crystallite size of about 8 nm already at room temperature. Therefore, it is interesting to systematically study the influence exerted by the process parameters of synthesis in a freely impingingjet-jets microreactor on the formation process of nanocrystalline cobalt ferrite. In particular, it is interesting to analyze the influence of a pulsation mode of reagent supply, which showed the higher efficiency of microreactor synthesis in some cases [47].
2. Experimental
Cobalt ferrite was produced by coprecipitation from the mixture of aqueous solutions of 0.5 M iron (III) nitrate (Fe(NO3)3 (analytical reagent grade) and 0.25 M cobalt (II) nitrate (Co(NO3)2 (analytical reagent grade)) with 1.3 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH, (analytical reagent grade)) in a freely impinging jet-jets microreactor, the design of which was described in [44]. The alkali solution with the above concentration with the reagent supply rates use provides for a certain alkali excess in the interaction zone as compared to reaction stoichiometry, which is required for precipitation completeness.
The mixture of salt solutions (solution No. 1) and NaOH solution (solution No. 2) were supplied with the use of two Heidolph 5201 peristaltic pumps with a Quick-S five-roller head with constant flow rates to the microreactor unit through the nipples on the opposite sides (Fig. 1) [44]. The internal diameters of the nozzles (2, 3 - Fig. 1) were 520 - 540 ^m. The studies were performed in the microreactor made in two versions: without pulsations (Fig. 1a) and with pulsations with superposition of the pulsations on the liquid flow (Fig. 1b). In the second version, reagents were supplied to the interaction zone in the mode of reagent solution flows modulation, by coherent (with equal amplitude, frequency and phase) pulsations generated with the use of a pulsator 12 and two identical chambers with variable volume (bellows) 13. An idea of using the pulsation assembly when supplying the solutions to the reactor space consists in the fact that there takes place accelerated (as compared to uninterrupted supply of the solutions by the pumps) breaking up of jets to primary reagent drops 15, which, when moving from the opposite sides with equal velocities and colliding, form secondary microdrops 16 as a result of interfusion. Such mode allows implementing the interaction process of salt solutions and the precipitator in a limited space of microdrops 16 with diameter of about 1 -2 mm. The drops of reagent solutions from the opposite nipples were formed simultaneously due to the coherence of the generated oscillations. The pulsation frequency was varied in the range of 4.26 - 13.9 Hz.

Scheme of the microreactor unit: (a) - without the use of pulsations; (b) - with superposition of pulsations on the flow. 1 - cylinder-conic housing; 2 - nipples for supplying the initial components; 3 - nozzles; 4 - outlet for product discharge; 5,6 - vessels for solutions; 7 - purge gas blower; 8 - vessel for collecting the reaction products; 9 - pumps; 10 - jets; 11 - liquid sheet in free volume; 12 - drive of oscillation movements; 13 - crossbeam; 14 - chambers with variable volume (bellows); 15 - primary drops of individual solutions; 16 - secondary drops of the solution mixture
The precipitate obtained as a result of the solutions mixing was collected in a vessel under the microreactor unit, washed with distilled water to reach neutral pH and the absence of impurity ions, and dried at a temperature of 50 ° C.
A material produced by the method for direct precipitation from the aqueous solution mixture of iron and cobalt salts with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was used as the reference sample. NaOH solution was added at constant
mixing using a mechanical mixer until pH = 8 was reached. The obtained precipitate was washed also with distilled water and dried at a temperature of 50 °C.
The microstructure and elemental composition of the samples were determined using Quanta 200 scanning electron microscope (FEI Company) fitted out with EDAX X-ray spectral microanalysis attachment.
The phase composition of the samples was controlled by X-ray diffraction using SmartLab 3 X-ray diffractometer (CoKa-radiation) (Rigaku Corporation). The peaks in the diffractogram were identified using PDWin 4.0 software complex and Crystallographica Search-Match package. The average crystallite size, i.e. the size of monocrystals, of which cobalt ferrite particles consisted, was determined as a value of the coherent scatter region, based on broadening of X-ray diffraction lines, using Scherrer formula.
The crystal size distribution was determined based on the data of X-ray diffraction of the samples using MAUD software.
Mossbauer spectra were recorded using a spectrometer by WISSEL in the permanent acceleration mode, at the room temperature. 57Co in Rh-matrix with activity of 30 mCi was used as the source. The mathematical processing of the experimental spectra was performed using MOSSFIT software package [50]. The velocity scale of the spectrometer was calibrated using a-Fe foil in the room temperature. The values of chemical shifts are presented relative to a-Fe.
3. Results and discussion
According to elemental analysis data (Table 1), the Co:Fe ratio for all samples obtained both by direct precipitation and under conditions of microreactor synthesis, taking into account the method error, conforms to stoichiometry preset during the synthesis. Sodium is not detected in the sample within the sensitivity of X-ray spectral analysis, which evidences practically full removal of impurity solution components from the obtained powders.
X-ray diffractograms of the obtained samples are presented in Fig. 2. The X-ray diffractogram of the sample obtained by direct coprecipitation of iron and cobalt hydroxides with NaOH solution (Fig. 2, curve 1) shows broad X-ray maxima of low intensity which are evidence of the presence of Co-Fe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) [51,52], Y-Fe2O3 and cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) in the sample. At the same time, the analysis of X-ray diffraction line profile evidences of the fact that the sample is mainly in the X-ray amorphous condition.

The analysis of X-ray diffractogram of the sample obtained using the microreactor without pulsation mode (Fig. 2, curve 2) is evidence of the fact that the interaction of reagents in the sheet being formed during jet collision results in production of nanocrystalline cobalt ferrite with the average crystallite size of about 12 nm. However, the analysis of the dependence presented in Fig. 3shows evidence of quite broad crystallite size distribution.
The use of the pulsation mode when supplying the reagents during the microreactor synthesis leads to the formation of a practically X-ray amorphous product. X-ray diffractograms of the samples obtained with different pulsation frequencies show only low-intensive halo in the region of maximal peaks corresponding to Co-Fe-layered double hydroxide and cobalt ferrite. The typical view of X-ray diffractogram of the samples 3 - 5 (see Table 1) is presented in Fig. 2 (curve 3).
The Mossbauer spectra of powders obtained both by the method for direct precipitation and with the use of microreactor synthesis is presented in Fig. 4. Fig. 4 shows also the results of the decomposition of the experimental spectra to components corresponding to iron atoms in different local surroundings. The Mossbauer parameters of iron-containing phases are presented in Table 1. The quantitative assessment of the relative iron content in different phases is performed within the accuracy of the difference in values of Mossbauer factor fM.

Fig. 3. Size distribution of CoFe2O4 crystallites obtained by the method of microreactor synthesis with continuously impinging-jets
The Mossbauer spectrum for the sample obtained under conditions of microreactor synthesis without the pulsation mode is a superposition of sextets corresponding to the condition of iron atoms in octa- and tetra-positions in cobalt ferrite structure. The values of magnetic hyperfine fields (Heff ) of these sextets depend not only on the differences in local surroundings of iron nuclei corresponding to them but also on magnetic crystal sizes. The value Hef f decreases when crystals pass to single-domain (superparamagnet) condition, in which magnet locking temperature depends on crystal size [53]. Moreover, the smaller the crystal size is, the lower the value Heff is down to its full disappearance. Such behavior of Hef f occurs for magnet crystals, in which the rate of direction change of the total magnetic moment is much larger than the nucleus lifetime in the excited condition (t ^10-9 s). This critical size for CoFe2O4 is about 6 nm [54,55]. Thus, comparison of sextet parameters (Fig. 4, Table 1) with the data of [55] allows one to conclude that the maximum size of CoFe2O4 crystallites obtained by microreactor synthesis is less than 50 nm. In addition, the presence of a sextet with low Hef f (39.3 T) is explained by broad crystallite size distribution. These results are in good agreement with the X-ray diffraction data (Fig. 3).
The Mossbauer spectrum represents doublet superposition for all other samples obtained both by the method for direct precipitation and by using microreactor synthesis in the pulsation mode (Fig. 4, Table 1). The analysis of experimental spectra allows distinguishing a doublet corresponding to iron atom condition in the structure of Co-Fe-layered double hydroxide [48] and doublets evidencing the presence of small CoFe2O4 clusters with crystallite sizes corresponding to the superparamagnet condition [55].
According to the study [54], the critical size of superparamagnetism for CoFe2O4 is about 14 nm. In the [55] the authors observed two doublets with parameters Is(tetr) = 0.258, Qs(tetr) = 1.943 and Is(tetr) = 0.326, Qs(tetr) = 0.653 for cobalt ferrite with crystallite size of about 6 nm. The noticeable difference between the parameters of Mossbauer spectra presented in Table and the parameters in [55] may be associated with several factors, e.g., with significantly smaller size of clusters with cobalt ferrite structure as compared to the size of CoFe2O4 crystallites described in the study [55]. It is possible that these differences are caused by different population degree with cobalt and iron ions in the octa- and tetra-positions in the spinel structure, which can be explained, among other factors, by peculiarities of synthesis conditions.
Thus, the analysis of the presented data is evidence of the fact that when the methods for direct coprecipitation and microreactor synthesis in jet pulsation mode are used, formation of small clusters with cobalt ferrite structure with different population degree in octa- and tetra-positions is observed at the stage of mixing of the reagents (cobalt and iron nitrates solution with NaOH solution), which is confirmed by the deviation of quadrupolar splitting values from the data presented in [55]. At the same time, spatial component separation associated with the formation of the phase of Co-Fe-layered double hydroxide takes place, apparently, in the greater part of the system and, as a result, the mechanism of cobalt ferrite formation changes as compared to the mode of continuous mixing of reagent streams described in [51,52].
The described difference in phase formation processes in the microreactor with continuously impinging-jets [43, 44] and when the pulsation mode is used can be associated with the fact that the sizes of colliding drops are about 1 mm and the energy dissipation rate in such case is significantly less than that when microjets collide with the formation of the liquid sheet with a thickness of about 20 ^m. This difference results in the fact that it is not possible to implement hydrodynamic conditions leading to the formation of the microreactor in the pulsation mode [42,43]. This leads, in its turn, to spatial separation of the reaction system components, and the formation of CoFe2O4 will take place not due to the coalescence of small clusters with cobalt ferrite structure as it was mentioned in [35, 36] but according to the

mechanism of solid-phase interaction which is similar to the formation process of magnesium ferrite described in the study [40]. The implementation of such formation mechanism will require a stage involving long thermal treatment.
4. Conclusions
Thus, it is possible to conclude that the use of the method for microreactor synthesis with continuously impinging-jets allows one to obtain nanosized cobalt ferrite crystals at room temperature. The need to use the pulsation mode, at least in the form that was used in this work for the synthesis of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles, does not allow realization of the advantages of microreactor synthesis.
