Abstract: Uniform acicular hematite particles were prepared by two steps hydrothermal method from Fe(OH)3 gel. The effect of nucleating temperature,
pH and Sn4+ ions on the morphologies of hematite particles was studied. The experiments showed that uniform acicular particles can be obtained. First
the suspension of Fe(OH)3 aged at 50~80℃ for 2h, crystal growing agent was then added, and put into a stainless steel autoclave with
stirring at 150~170℃ for 1.5h. The key problem of the poor repeatability of experimental result was solved. The results were characterized
by TEM and XRD.

Key words: hematite, acicular particles, preparation, Fe(OH)3
