The electrochemical reduction of iron oxides in alkaline media offers a low-temperature, carbon-free route to metallic iron, leveraging aqueous solutions of hydroxide salts such as NaOH to dissolve ...

The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. Paul Kempler, a chemical engineer at the University ...

Northwestern University researchers are actively overturning the conventional view of iron oxides as mere phosphorus “sinks.” A critical nutrient for life, most phosphorus in the soil is organic — ...

Today, approximately 1,800,000 acres of land in the United States is used for landfill waste disposal. In terms of volume, the U.S alone generated over 290 million tons of solid waste in 2018, an ...

A joint research team has discovered high-performance catalysts capable of significantly reducing "boil-off losses," which ...

The German chemical maker Lanxess is working with the battery materials firm IBU-tec to develop iron oxides for production of lithium iron phosphate (LFP), a cheap cathode material. Many Chinese firms ...

Printed magnetic field sensors made from iron, cellulose and starch offer a recyclable, lower-toxicity path toward disposable ...

Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...

CHICAGO — One of the more recent developments in sunscreen technology is the addition of iron oxide to mineral sunscreens. Iron oxide is "an excellent pigment" that absorbs and blocks visible light, ...
