  2. Hematite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematite

    Hematite (/ ˈ h iː m ə ˌ t aɪ t, ˈ h ɛ m ə-/), also spelled as haematite, is a common iron oxide compound with the formula, Fe 2 O 3 and is widely found in rocks and soils. [6] Hematite crystals belong to the rhombohedral lattice system which is designated the alpha polymorph of Fe 2 O 3. It has the same crystal structure as corundum ...

  3. Iron(III) oxide - Wikipedia

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

    Iron(III) oxide in a vial. 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.

  4. Magnetite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetite

    Magnetite has been important in understanding the conditions under which rocks form. Magnetite reacts with oxygen to produce hematite, and the mineral pair forms a buffer that can control how oxidizing its environment is (the oxygen fugacity). This buffer is known as the hematite-magnetite or HM buffer.

  5. Why is Mars red? New research reveals answer to ancient mystery

    Hematite or ferrihydrite? Because of the absence of liquid water on Mars’s surface today, those rusty red minerals were thought to arise from dry iron oxides present in the dust, such as hematite.

  6. Martian spherules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martian_spherules

    Martian spherules (also known as hematite spherules, blueberries, & Martian blueberries) are small spherules (roughly spherical pebbles) that are rich in an iron oxide (grey hematite, α-Fe 2 O 3) and are found at Meridiani Planum (a large plain on Mars) in exceedingly large numbers.

    hematite (Fe 2 O 3) forms on top of the porous magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) [7] ferric oxide hydrate (FeOOH) or hematite (Fe 2 O 3) forms over the porous magnetite ferric oxide hydrate (FeOOH) or hematite (Fe 2 O 3) forms over the porous magnetite Advantages: Can be used with mixed metallurgy piping: More protection against FAC than AVT(R), minimizes ...

  8. Iron (II,III) oxide - Wikipedia

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

    Iron(II,III) oxide, or black iron oxide, is the chemical compound with formula Fe 3 O 4.It occurs in nature as the mineral magnetite.It is one of a number of iron oxides, the others being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare, and iron(III) oxide (Fe 2 O 3) which also occurs naturally as the mineral hematite.

  9. Hematine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematine

    Hematine ring. Hematine (also magnetic hematite, hemalyke or hemalike) is an artificial magnetic material. [1] Hematine is widely used in jewelry. [citation needed]Although it is claimed by many that it is made from ground hematite or iron oxide mixed with a resin, analysis (of one object) has demonstrated it to be an entirely artificial compound, a barium-strontium ferrite.
