The term ferrite is commonly used generically to describe a class of magnetic oxide compounds which contain iron oxide as a principal component. In metallurgy (qv), however, the term ferrite is often used as a metaHographic indication of the a-iron crystalline phase.

Iron (qv) exists in three aHotropic modifications, each of which is stable over a certain range of temperatures. When pure iron free2es at 1538°C, the body-centered cubic (bcc) 5-modification forms, and is stable to 1394°C. Between 1394 and 912°C, the face-centered cubic (fee) y-modification exists. At 912°C, bcc a-iron forms and prevails at all lower temperatures. These various aHotropic forms of iron have different capacities for dissolving carbon. y-Iron can contain up to 2% carbon, whereas a-iron can contain a maximum of only about 0.02% C. This difference in solubHity of carbon in iron is responsible for the unique heat-treating capabilities of steel The soHd solutions of carbon and other elements in y-iron and a-iron are caHed austenite and ferrite, respectively.

At 1 atmosphere, iron meits at 1536°C and boiis at 2860°C. When it sohdifies (a phase change), it does so in the b.c.c. crystai structure and is caiied d-iron. On cooiing further it undergoes two further phase changes. The first is at 1391 °C when it changes to the f.c.c. crystal structure, and is then called y-iron. The second is at 914°C when it changes baek to the b.c.c. crystal structure, and is called a-iron. 

The polymorphism of certain metals, iron the most important, was after centuries of study perceived to be the key to the hardening of steel. In the process of studying iron polymorphism, several decades were devoted to a red herring, as it proved this was the P-iron controversy. P-iron was for a long time regarded as a phase distinct from at-iron (Smith 1965) but eventually found to be merely the ferromagnetic form of ot-iron thus the supposed transition from P to a-iron was simply the Curie temperature, p-iron has disappeared from the iron-carbon phase diagram and all transformations are between a and y.

Maximum conversion occurs by equilibration at the lowest possible temperature so the reaction is carried out sequentially on two beds of catalyst (a) iron oxide (400°C) which reduces the CO concentration from 11% to 3% (b) a copper catalyst (200°) which reduces the CO content to 0.3%. Removal of CO2 ( 18%) is effected in a scrubber containing either a concentrated alkaline solution of K2CO3 or an amine such as ethanolamine ...
