Abstract
A series of Zn/Mn binary oxides with different molar ratios (1.4-11) were synthesized via co-precipitation from a solution obtained through the acidic (HCl) leaching of a black mass originating from the mechanical recycling of spent alkaline and Zn-C batteries. The oxides obtained were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy. Magnetic properties of the samples were also investigated. The Raman spectroscopy results showed all the binary metallic oxides belong to the ZnxMn3-xO4 (0.25 <= x >= 1.75) type. All showed a spinel crystalline structure. The saturation magnetization decreases with the Zn_xMn_3_xO_4 (0.25 # x $ 1.75) type. All showed a spinel crystalline structure. The saturation magnetization decreases with the Zn/Mn molar ratio; a maximum of 13.19 emu g__1 was found for the molar ratio of 11 at the Curie temperature (25.5 K). XPS showed that all the synthesized compounds contained Mn_2_+, Mn_3_+ and Mn4+. Mn_2_+ was the most prominent at a molar ratio of 11, Mn_3_+ was most common at a molar ratio of 2, and Mn_4_+ at 1.4.
