The size and shape of the iron oxide NPs depends on the type of salt used (such as chlorides, sulfates, nitrates, perchlorates, etc)., the ferric and ferrous ions ratio, the reaction temperature, the PH value, ionic strength of the media, and the other reaction parameters (e.g. stirring rate, dropping speed of basic solution).

It appears, however, that small variations in mineral composition (e.g., the ratio of ferrous to ferric iron) as well as defect properties can play a role orders of magnitude greater than that of pressure alone.
The ratio of ferrous to ferric ions (Fe2+/Fe total where Fetotal = Fe2+ + Fe3+) released was determined by 1,10 phenanthroline method (Brigatti et al. 2000) using UV Vis spectrophotometer (λmax = 510 nm).
These hydrogels were soaked in a solution of FeII (0.1 mol L−1) and FeIII (0.2 mol L−1) ions with a molar ratio of ferrous to ferric ions of 1 2 until they reached the swelling equilibrium.
The ferric and ferrous chlorides (with molar ratio of 2 1) were dissolved in water at a concentration of 0.3 M iron ions.
When added at 1∶1 molar ratio to ferrous Fe in the cell system, NA was twice as effective when compared to ascorbic acid (one of the most potent known enhancers of Fe bioavailability) in promoting more ferritin synthesis.
It was for this reason that we decided to combine the ferric oxide polymatose with the ferrous fumarate in a ratio of 2 1.
The properties of a nanomagnetite can be regulated by (1) temperature [ 2– 4], (2) initial pH [ 2, 5], (3) stirring velocity [ 6], (4) different iron salt solutions with varying ratios of ferrous and ferric ions [ 3, 7], (5) types and concentrations of alkali [ 3, 8], (6) surfactants [ 5], and (7) ionic strength of the solution [ 4].
A substoichiometric amount of DT was added, resulting in a mixture containing ferric and ferrous protein in an ∼2.2 1 ratio.
