IRON (II) CARBONATE - Introduction
FERROUS carbon (FERROUS carbon) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula feco3. The following is an introduction to the nature, use, formulation and safety information of FERROUS CARBONATE:
Properties: FERROUS CARBONATE is a green to blue crystal with certain hygroscopicity. It is readily oxidized in air to form iron (III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3). It has a higher melting point of ~ 563 ℃. It is practically insoluble in water, but dissolves under acidic conditions to produce ferrous ions (Fe2) and carbonate ions (CO32-).
Uses: FERROUS CARBONATE is mainly used to prepare other FERROUS compounds, such as FERROUS chloride, FERROUS (II) sulfate, etc. These compounds are often used as catalysts, nutritional supplements, raw materials, etc. In addition, FERROUS carbon can also be used in the production of optical glass, rubber products and dyes.
Preparation method: A common method for preparing FERROUS CARBONATE is to mix and react an iron (II) salt (such as FERROUS sulfate) with a solution of alkaline CARBONATE. For example, FERROUS sulfate can be reacted with sodium CARBONATE to produce a precipitate of FERROUS CARBONATE. In the preparation process, the reaction conditions and the ratio of reactants should be controlled.
Safety information: FERROUS CARBONATE is unstable at room temperature and easily reacts with oxygen in the air to produce iron (III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3). Its dust may be irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Appropriate protective measures, such as wearing goggles, gloves and masks, are required when using or handling FERROUS CARBONATE. Avoid inhalation or ingestion of FERROUS CARBONATE and keep the treatment area well ventilated.
