Application

Iron(III) oxide, also known as hematite, is a versatile and essential mineral with a range of industrial applications. As the most important ore of iron, it serves as the primary source of iron in the manufacture of iron, steel, and various alloys, contributing significantly to global iron production, which exceeds 1 billion tons annually. In addition to its fundamental role in the iron and steel industry, hematite is utilized as a polishing agent, particularly in polishing metallic jewelry and lenses. It also functions as a key ingredient in producing pigments, namely Pigment Brown 6, Pigment Brown 7, and Pigment Red 101. In the realm of technology, iron(III) oxide is employed as a magnetic particle material in the creation of magnetic disks and tapes, and as a photoanode material in solar water oxidation processes within photocatalysis. Furthermore, hematite has applications in medicine, serving as the active ingredient in calamine lotion. Its unique properties and widespread availability make iron(III) oxide an indispensable component across diverse sectors.
