Abstract
A process for the manufacture of acicular ferrimagnetic iron oxide by dehydrating acicular iron(III) oxide hydroxides to give acicular iron(III) oxides, then reducing these iron(III) oxides at from 300.degree. to 650.degree. C. by means of an organic compound which decomposes in this temperature range, and oxidizing the reduced product with an oxygen-containing gas at from 200.degree. to 500.degree. C., wherein the acicular iron(III) oxide hydroxides employed consist of a mixture of goethite and lepidocrocite, containing at least 60% of the latter, and the dehydration is carried out at from 250.degree. to 700.degree. C.
