  2. Iron oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_oxide

    Iron oxide pigment. The brown color indicates that iron is at the oxidation state +3. Green and reddish brown stains on a limestone core sample, respectively corresponding to oxides/hydroxides of Fe 2+ and Fe 3+. Iron oxides feature as ferrous or ferric or both. They adopt octahedral or tetrahedral coordination geometry. Only a few oxides are ...

  3. Iron poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_poisoning

    [1] [4] In cases where high doses of elemental iron have been ingested and the patient is exhibiting signs and symptoms of severe systemic iron poisoning, supportive care measures like volume resuscitation and deferoxamine should be initiated immediately. [4] A quick response to iron poisoning can significantly improve clinical outcomes.

  4. Iron(III) oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(III)_oxide

    Iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Fe 2 O 3. 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 .

  5. Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

    Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture.Rust consists of hydrous iron(III) oxides (Fe 2 O 3 ·nH 2 O) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH) 3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron.

  6. Iron-oxidizing bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-oxidizing_bacteria

    The anoxygenic phototrophic iron oxidation was the first anaerobic metabolism to be described within the iron anaerobic oxidation metabolism. The photoferrotrophic bacteria use Fe 2+ as electron donor and the energy from light to assimilate CO 2 into biomass through the Calvin Benson-Bassam cycle (or rTCA cycle) in a neutrophilic environment (pH 5.5-7.2), producing Fe 3+ oxides as a waste ...

  7. Metal toxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_toxicity

    Metal toxicity or metal poisoning is the toxic effect of certain metals in certain forms and doses on life. Some metals are toxic when they form poisonous soluble compounds. Certain metals have no biological role, i.e. are not essential minerals, or are toxic when in a certain form. [ 1 ]

  8. Chemical coloring of metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_coloring_of_metals

    Solution of sodium polysulfide 2.5%, items must be submerged in the solution after color developing, wash, dry and wax or varnish colored object. [27] Brown for copper. Items are boiled in at least 3-day-old water solution of 12% copper sulfate, after color being developed, the material is washed, dried and waxed or varnished. [27] Black for iron

  9. Iron (II) oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(II)_oxide

    Iron(II) oxide or ferrous oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula FeO. Its mineral form is known as wüstite . [ 3 ] [ 4 ] One of several iron oxides , it is a black-colored powder that is sometimes confused with rust , the latter of which consists of hydrated iron(III) oxide (ferric oxide).
