IRON SULFIDE - Names and Identifiers
IRON SULFIDE - Introduction
Iron sulfide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula FeS. The following is a description of the nature, use, method and safety information of Iron sulfide:
Nature:
Iron sulfide is a black solid with metallic luster. The common crystal structure is cubic. It has a relatively high density and a melting point of about 1,197°C. Iron sulfide is a magnetic substance, but it loses its magnetism at high temperatures.
Use:
Iron sulfide have some important industrial uses. It is often used as a raw material for the production of iron, in the metallurgical industry to play the role of deoxidizer and vulcanizing agent. In addition, Iron sulfide is also used to prepare other iron compounds, such as titanium dioxide, iron oxide, etc.
Method:
Iron sulfide can be made in a variety of ways. The most common method is to react iron and sulfur in an appropriate molar ratio, and perform a thermal reaction under high temperature conditions. The chemical equation of the reaction is:
Fe S -> FeS
Safety Information:
Iron sulfide in general is relatively safe, but still need to pay attention to the following:
1. Iron sulfide is a stable compound, but it may react under strong oxidants and acidic conditions. Please avoid contact with strong oxidants and acidic substances.
2. When handling Iron sulfide, use appropriate protective gloves and eye protection equipment to prevent direct contact with skin and eyes.
3. Avoid inhaling or swallowing Iron sulfide, and keep away from mouth and nose. If you accidentally inhale or feel uncomfortable, you should seek medical attention in time.
4. When storing and handling Iron sulfide, care should be taken to avoid contact and mixing with flammable substances.
