    Iron(III) oxide - Wikipedia

    • Iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Fe2O3. It occurs in nature as the mineral hematite, which serves as the primary source of iron for the steel industry. It is also known as red iron oxide, especially when used in pigments. It is one of the three main oxides of iron, the other two being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare; and iron(II,III) … See more

    Structure

    Fe2O3 can be obtained in various polymorphs. In the primary polymorph, α, iron adopts octahedral coordination geometry. That is, each Fe center is bound to six oxygen ligands. In the γ polymorph, some of th… See more

    Hydrated iron(III) oxides

    Several hydrates of Iron(III) oxide exist. When alkali is added to solutions of soluble Fe(III) salts, a red-brown gelatinous precipitate forms. This is not Fe(OH)3, but Fe2O3·H2O (also written as Fe(O)OH).
    Several for… See more

    Reactions

    The most important reaction is its carbothermal reduction, which gives iron used in steel-making:
    Fe2O3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO2
    Another redox reaction is the extremely exothermicSee more

    Preparation

    Iron(III) oxide is a product of the oxidation of iron. It can be prepared in the laboratory by electrolyzing a solution of sodium bicarbonate, an inert electrolyte, with an iron anode:
    4 Fe + 3 O… See more

    Uses

    The overwhelming application of iron(III) oxide is as the feedstock of the steel and iron industries, e.g., the production of iron, steel, and many alloys. Iron oxide (Fe2O3) has been used in stained glass since the medieval p… See more
