Abstract

Pigment CoхNi1−хAl2O4 have advanced properties for application in industrial scale such as the reduction in production cost and environmental damage, the stability in physicochemical characteristics. In this study, pigment CoхNi1−хAl2O4 (where x= 0.2, 0.5 and 0.8) was synthesized using the organic precursor method at low calcination temperature. The pigment was analyzed using XRD to determine its spinel structure as well its thermo-stability. The physicochemical properties of the pigment were determined including pH (7.11-7.63), density (3.43 – 4.19), coverage rate (47.67 – 48.9 g/m2 ), and oil adsorption (42-45 g of oil / 100 g pigment). SEM result shows that the crystalline structure of the synthesized pigment is almost homogeneous and lies within the nanosize range. The characterization shows that the pigment was successfully synthesized at nanosize and has potential for applications in the industry.
