En este trabajo se sintetizaron nanopartículas de magnetita mediante el método de co-precipitación y se estudió el efecto de la velocidad de agitación y el tiempo de reacción sobre el rendimiento, el tamaño y la distribución de tamaños, además, se estudió la influencia del pH del medio de dispersión en la aglomeración de las nanopartículas. Las nanopartículas fueron caracterizadas mediante microscopía electrónica de transmisión (MET), dispersión dinámica de luz (DLS), difracción de rayos X (DRX) y espectroscopía Raman. Se observó que la velocidad de agitación y el tiempo de reacción influyen positivamente en el rendimiento de la reacción (85 a 94 %), tamaño (23 ± 13 a 7 ± 4 nm) y distribución de tamaño de las nanopartículas. Para las mejores condiciones de síntesis se obtuvieron nanopartículas de magnetita de 7 ± 4 nm, con un rendimiento del 94 % en la reacción y con un grado de aglomeración relativamente bajo. El pH del medio de dispersión influye en la aglomeración de las nanopartículas. Los resultados obtenidos indican que es factible obtener nanopartículas con un tamaño aceptable para aplicaciones medioambientales.]]></p></abstract>

In this work, magnetite nanoparticles were synthetized using the co-precipitation method and we studied the effects of stirring speed and the reaction time on the yield, size and size distribution, also, was studied the influence dispersion medium pH, in the agglomeration of the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (MET), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X ray diffraction (DRX) and Raman spectroscopy. It was observed that the stirring speed and reaction time have a positive influence on the reaction yield (85 to 94 %), nanoparticles size (23 ± 13 to 7 ± 4 nm) and size distribution. For the best synthesis conditions, magnetite nanoparticles of approximately 7 ± 4 nm were obtained, with a 94 % reaction yield, with a relatively low agglomeration degree. The dispersion medium pH has influence on the agglomeration of the nanoparticles. Results show that it is feasible to obtain magnetite nanoparticles with an acceptable size for environmental applications.]]></p></abstract>
