  2. Bog iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bog_iron

    Bog iron is a form of impure iron deposit that develops in bogs or swamps by the chemical or biochemical oxidation of iron carried in solution. In general, bog ores consist primarily of iron oxyhydroxides , commonly goethite (FeO(OH)).

  3. Ironstone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironstone

    Ironstone (sandstone with iron oxides) from the Mississippian Breathitt Formation, Mile Marker 166, I-64, Kentucky. Ironstone is a sedimentary rock, either deposited directly as a ferruginous sediment or created by chemical replacement, that contains a substantial proportion of an iron ore compound from which iron (Fe) can be smelted commercially.

  4. East Texas iron ore belt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Texas_Iron_Ore_Belt

    The East Texas iron ore belt spans several counties, including Cherokee, Upshur, Camp, Gregg, Harrison, and others. The geology of the region is dominated by the Weches greensand, which consists of glauconitic sand and clay. This greensand is underlain by various sedimentary formations, including the Queen City sand member and the Sparta sand.

  5. Chemical impurity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_impurity

    Impurities play an important role in the nucleation of other phase transitions. For example, the presence of foreign elements may have important effects on the mechanical and magnetic properties of metal alloys. Iron atoms in copper cause the renowned Kondo effect where the conduction electron spins form a magnetic bound state with the impurity ...

  6. Chemical purity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_purity

    USP grade is equivalent to the ACS grade for many drugs. NF grade is a purity grade set by the National Formulary (NF). NF grade is equivalent to the ACS grade for many drugs. British Pharmacopoeia: Meets or exceeds requirements set by the British Pharmacopoeia (BP). Can be used for food, drug, and medical purposes, and also for most laboratory ...

  7. Iron-rich sedimentary rocks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-rich_sedimentary_rocks

    Iron formations can be divided into subdivisions known as: banded iron formations (BIFs) and granular iron formations (GIFs). [ 3 ] The above classification scheme is the most commonly used and accepted, though sometimes an older system is used which divides iron-rich sedimentary rocks into three categories: bog iron deposits , ironstones , and ...

  9. Flux (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_(metallurgy)

    Slag is a liquid mixture of ash, flux, and other impurities. This reduction of slag viscosity with temperature, increasing the flow of slag in smelting, is the origin of the word flux in metallurgy. The flux most commonly used in iron and steel furnaces is limestone, which is charged in the proper proportions with the iron and fuel.
