Application

Iron(II) oxide serves multiple purposes across various industries. It plays a critical role in the production of green, heat-absorbing glass, which is often used in buildings and automobiles to reduce energy consumption. In the steel manufacturing process, Iron(II) oxide acts as a precursor, facilitating the production of high-quality steel products. Additionally, this compound is employed as a catalyst in numerous industrial and chemical operations, enhancing efficiency and expediting reactions. Beyond these primary applications, Iron(II) oxide is also used as a pigment in pottery, glazes, and glasses, and can be found in cosmetics and tattoo inks. Furthermore, it functions as a filtration medium for phosphates in home aquaria. The formation of Iron(II) oxide, or FeO, occurs when iron is heated in low partial pressure of oxygen at temperatures exceeding 575°C, with stabilization requiring rapid cooling to prevent its decomposition.
