The formation of manganese ferrite has been performed to investigate some properties according to the variation of compositions, pH, current density by electrolysis. It has been found that the amount of oxidized weight of anode were increased with increasing current density. The amount of oxidized weight of anode were most in pH 10. As the result of X-ray diffraction Mn Fe₂O₄ crystal composition in pH13. When the particles of Mn/sub x/ Fe/sub 3-x/O₄ were heated at 300℃, it has been shown typical Mn Fe₂O₄(JCPDS Card No. 10-319) in X=1 composition. As the result of SEM observation, the size of MnFe₂O₄ particles were about 0.1㎛, the shape of particles were spherical type. According to the above mentioned experimental condition, 0.1-0.5㎛ sub-micron particles of manganese ferrite were formed from the wasted manganese dry cell, through washing → reduction → electrloysis.
