Abstract: The cation-deficient magnetite(Fe3+δO4,δ<0)was synthesized by the oxidation of Fe(OH)2suspensions at 358 K.The cation-excess magnetite(Fe3+δO4,δ>0)was obtained by flowing H2gas through magnetite with cation-deficient composition at 563 K.The stability of Fe3+δO4(δ>0)was investigated at various temperatures and atmosphere.The reactivty of Fe3+δO4(δ>0)of reducing CO2gas into carbon was studied at 358 K.The results confirm that CO2was nearly 100% decomposed into carbon,the oxygen in CO2is transferred in the form of O2-to the cation excess magnetite.The bigger the cation-excess extent of magnetite,the higher the decomposability of CO2,and the more O2is produced indirectly.
