  Iron(III) oxide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iron(III) oxide — also known as ferric oxide, red iron oxide, synthetic maghemite, colcothar, or simply rust — is one of several oxide compounds of iron, and is most notable for its ferromagnetic properties.
The mineral form of ferric oxide is hematite; it is mined as the main ore of iron.
Iron(III) oxide is often used in magnetic storage, for example in the magnetic layer of floppy disks.

 IRON - LoveToKnow Article on IRON
Ferric oxide or iron sesquioxide, Fe303, constitutes the valuable ores red haematite and specular iron; the minerals brown haematite or limonite, and gthite and also iron rust are hydrated forms.
Ferric oxide is employed as a pigment, as jewellers rouge, and for polishing metals.
Ferric suiphide, FcfSn is obtained by gently heating a mixture of its Constituent elements, or by the action of sulphuretted hydrogen on ferric oxide at temperatures below 1000.

Red ferric hydroxide dissolves in acids to form a well-definec series of salts, the ferric salts, also obtained by oxidizing ferrom salts; they are usually colorless when anhydrous, but yellov or brown when hydrated.
Heated in air it yields a mixture of ferric oxide and chloride, and in steam magnetic oxide, hydrochloric acid, and hydrogen.
Ferric chloride, FeCI3, known in its aqueous solution to Glauber as oleum mar/is, may be obtained anhydrous by the action of dry chlorine on the metal at a moderate red-heat, or by passing hydrochloric acid gas over heated ferric oxide.

Ferric oxide hydrosols are composed of a haematite core surrounded by an hydrated oxide shell.
Interactions have been studied, on both sides of the p.z.c., between ferric oxide surface and a series of anions and cations having characteristics ranging from structure promoters to structure breakers.
Although ferric oxide has a moderate crystalline field, the observed adsorption sequences show that the interface acts as a structure promoter for water molecules.

 Merox: Ferric Oxide
Ferric oxide is produced using a spray-roasting process.
Merox Ferric Oxide type 300, 400 and 450 is used mainly in the production of ferrite components, and, to some extent, as a colouring pigment in concrete, plastics and glass.
Classification of Merox Ferric Oxide is reverified after densifying and bagging by the chemical composition of the batch sample automatically collected at the bagging machine.

 Haematite and Ferric Oxide (Suppl7)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Some studies of metal workers exposed to ferric oxide dusts have shown an increased incidence of lung cancer [ref: 1,15], but the influence of factors in the workplace other than ferric oxide, i.e., soot, silica and asbestos in foundry work, cannot be discounted.
In one study, intrapleural inoculation of the respirable fraction of iron ore mine dust to female BALB/c mice resulted in an increased incidence of lung adenomas; in a second study, an increased incidence of lymphoma/leukaemia was observed in female C57BL/6J mice exposed chronically to the same dust.

 H-Glaze 1993
O, as the hydrate.  Rust is mainly hydrated ferric oxide.  Haematite occurs in fl metallic crystals as ‘specular iron’; and can also take on a dull red appearance when finely reduced.  It is only slightly magnetic and conductive.
Ferroso-ferric oxide, Fe is the most stable oxide of iron.  It has a fl metallic lustre and occurs as Magnetite, the lodestone of the ancients.  Importantly for the present investigation, it forms when iron is heated in air or steam and (as its name implies) it is strongly magnetic.  It is also slightly conductive.
Although both oxides are slightly conductive, the H-glaze sample in my possession exhibited very little conductivity and that on only about 1% of the surface.    This was probably due to the other impurities present but the observed finely reduced crystalline structure could also have been a contributory factor.
