  By W.M. J.M. Madhuhansi, E. N. Jayaweera, P.G. D.C.K. Karunarathna, P. Samarasekara

  Abstract: Laterite is a mineral abundant in ferric oxide and various impurities, including aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide. The extraction of ferric oxide from laterite is accomplished through a cost-effective leaching process employing HCl, NaOH, and Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Characterization using Xray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the synthesized particles to be α-Hematite nano particles, with an average particle size of 94.21 nm, predominantly falling within the range of 90 nm to …
