introduction | the main component of iron oxide yellow is iron oxide, chemical formula Fe2O3 · H2O, which is monohydrate of iron oxide. The biggest application of iron oxide is as a pigment. According to the color, it is divided into iron oxide red, iron oxide yellow, and iron oxide black. Iron oxide brown is a mixture of iron oxide red and iron oxide black (and iron oxide yellow). |
preparation | 74g of iron filings are added to 1000ml of 15% sulfuric acid to react until the iron filings disappear to generate ferrous sulfate with a concentration of about 200g/L. Add enough 30% sodium hydroxide to the ferrous sulfate solution prepared above, continuously stir to convert the iron in the total 40% into ferrous hydroxide [Fe(OH)2], and pass air at 30~35 ℃ to oxidize Fe to Fe to form a crystal nucleus. Then 90g/L of iron filings are added to the treatment to generate 7g/L crystal nuclei and 40g/L of ferrous sulfate, continue to heat to 85 ℃, and oxidize with air at a speed of 600L/h for 64h, then filter, wash, dry and pulverize to obtain aqueous iron oxide yellow. |
toxicity | ADI 0~0.5mg/k(FAO/WHO,2001). Germany is not allowed. See Iron Oxide Red. |
