A series of Al2O3-Fe2O3 mixed oxidic solids with composition ranging from 0
to 100% of Fe2O3 were prepared and examined for structural characteristics
. XRD diagrams showed the presence of alpha -Al2O3 and hematite phases. The
analysis of Mossbauer spectra revealed the existence of two iron containin
g phases. The specific surface area of the mixture decreases by the additio
n of iron and depends on the crystal phases of the mixture.
