We obtained aluminum powder by filing down old soda cans. We chose to use iron(III) oxide, or Fe 2 O 3, known more commonly as rust. We got rust off an old corrugated iron shed at the sawmill.
In the blast furnace, it is so hot that carbon monoxide can be used, in place of carbon, to reduce the iron(III) oxide: iron(III) oxide + carbon monoxide → iron + carbon dioxide The blast ...
BS EN ISO 21078-1 - Determination of boron (III) oxide in refractory products - part 1: determination of total boron (III) oxide in oxidic materials for ceramics, glass and glazes. BS ISO 11894-1 - ...
Reduction is the gain of electrons by a substance. It is also the loss of oxygen from a substance. For example, copper(II) oxide can be reduced to form copper when it reacts with hydrogen: ...
oxide, iron (III) oxide and zinc oxide) and some cannot (e.g. Al 2 O 3, MgO) - refer to activity series). Active metals by electrolysis e.g. sodium, potassium and calcium. (reference only).
The process starts with rust, or ferric oxide, which can either be purchased or made. [Chase] chose to make his rust by soaking steel wool in a solution of saltwater and peroxide and heating the ...
