Iron(III) oxide anhydrous, 99.998%, Trace Certified®

SUITABILITY

• For research and development, not for animal, human, diagnostic, or therapeutic use.

APPLICATIONS

• Acts as a pigment in paints, coatings, and colored concretes, used in thermalite. Is a low cost, nontoxic, environmental friendly catalyst for various reactions such as oxidation of carbon monoxide, reduction of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide by CO, photocatalytic splitting of water, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis of hydrocarbons, catalytic decomposition of industrial dyes, water-gas shift reactions, nucleation of diamonds, conversion of phenolic and other environmentally harmful aromatic compounds, dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene, and catalytic oxidations of various organic compounds. It is used in magnetic storage devices and in the production of iron, steel and alloys. It functions as a catalyst in the chemical oxidation of hydrogen peroxide used for the treatment of contaminated water with hydrogen peroxide. It is a highly stable n-type semiconductor and possesses a band gap of 2.0 to 2.2eV. It is widely used in solar photo electrolysis cells. Self-organized nano porous iron(III) oxide (hematite) has been prepared. Orientation effects on nearly opaque single crystals of iron(III) oxide have been investigated by laser Raman spectroscopy. Used in the preparation of iron(III) oxide-hydrate gels. Also has many applications, mainly used in iron industry, pigment, as photocatalyst, medicine and polishing jewels.
