A new kind of magnetically separable composite consisting initially of magnetite and cerium carbonate nanograins was investigated using magnetic and Mössbauer methods at room and low temperatures. Various stages of calcination treatment in air resulted in a transformation of the cerium carbonate into cerium dioxide and magnetite into more complicated iron oxide compositions. The final CeO₂ nanograins on the surface of α-Fe₂O₃ were obtained after calcination at 973 K.
