Iron oxide, stoichiometric

Wustite, FeO, is the other iron oxide which contains only divalent Fe. It is usually non-stoichiometric (O-defident). The structure is similar to that of NaCl and is based on ccp anion packing. Wustite is black. It is an important intermediate in the reduction of iron ores. 

Another property of the iron-defective molybdate is the presence of Mo=0 double bonds on the surface. The hydrogen-abstracting capacity of the catalyst is closely related to Mo6 contained in the Mo=0 as is shown in Sect. 3. There the role of iron is also discussed. It is, however, interesting to note here that pure iron oxides accelerate combustion and that a W03—Fe2(W04)3 catalyst is practically inactive [254], Replacement of iron by chromium is possible but leads to a lower activity [253]. Baussart et al. [46] prepared stoichiometric NiMo04 which showed selective behaviour towards formaldehyde in a pulsed column below 375°C. 

Usually, iron oxide is added to glasses as a coloring agent or it can be present because of impure batch components. If the analyte solution is 0.05 M in H3P04, iron produces a stable and reproducible AAS signal with a stoichiometric to oxidizing air + C2H2 flame. 

Cobalt-coated pigment particles (1.6-4 wt.% Co) consist of a core of Y-F6203 or non-stoichiometric iron oxide phase, and a 1-2 nm coating of cobalt ferrite with a... 

Changing the H2/CO stoichiometric ratio to suit (2.40) may be achieved by the "shift reaction" (2.2) discussed in section 2.1.1. Steam is to be added or removed in the presence of a catalyst (e.g. iron oxide or chromium oxide). 

Iron oxides are most conveniently stored as dry powders. However, after prolonged storage in an air-dry state some metastable forms may transform into more stable ones. For example, ferrihydrite will gradually turn into hematite and goethite when kept in contact with the atmosphere, presumably owing to the presence of adsorbed non-stoichiometric water Fig. 2-1 shows an X-... 

Van Riemsdijk et al. [53] were the first to show that electrostatic effects could explain non-stoichiometric exchange ratios. Predictions with the one-pKn SCG model and the two-pKn SGC model were both in a good agreement with experimentally observed proton/M ratios and metal ion isotherms at a series of pH values for rutile, hematite and amorphous iron oxide. In contrast with Benjamin and Leckie [86], Van Riemsdijk et al. [53] concluded that incorporation of surface heterogeneity is not required to describe cadmium adsorption on amorphous iron oxide. 

The coexistence of various structure-forming metal centers is a characteristic of silicates distinguishing them from simple oxides such as aluminum oxide, quartz, and iron oxide. In weathering processes, the structure-forming cations may be detached from the mineral surface at the same rate (stoichiometric process) or at different rates (nonstoichiometric process). 

In order to explain the two different stoichiometric relations (ml) and (m2) Manchot and Lehmann postulated the intermediate formation of a quinquevalent iron oxide (Fe206). 

Because of the fundamental structural relationships between them, we discuss these compounds together, rather than separately under the different oxidation states. Three iron oxides are known. They all tend to be non-stoichiometric, but the ideal compositions of the phases are FeO, Fe203 and Fe304. 

The net result of these reactions is that 4 moles of pyrite are oxidized to produce 4 moles of Fe(OH)3 sj, which causes the yellow-brown discoloration of the water 12 moles of H+ (strong acid) are produced which then react with calcareous minerals in the soil to give rise to waters that have a high hardness and high total dissolved solids content. Another reaction of importance in acid mine drainage is the oxidation of FeS2(s) ferric iron (Fe ). Stoichiometrically, this reaction is... 

In other cases, it has been proposed that one condition of a suitable solid support should be a metal oxide in which the metal is able to undergo redox processes in such a way that cooperate with the catalytic oxidation [33,63,69,74—76]. Iron oxide, ceria and even titania are examples of supports in which the metal atoms can swing their oxidation state. In this context it would be of interest to use Mn02 and CrOs as supports since these oxides have themselves been widely used as stoichiometric oxidizing reagents due to their ability to become reduced. 

The concentrations of dissolved iron and sulfate do not show a stoichiometric ratio, indicating a pyrite solution. The concentration of the sulfide ions is significantly higher. Verifying the Ca, Mg and S04 concentrations, there is no evidence for the influence by seepage water. Therefore, as an explanation, a combination of parallel processes is favoured the oxidation of pyrite, and subsequently, the precipitation of iron oxides (Appelo and Postma, 1996).
