Platinum and iron oxide working together get the job done Scientists have figured out how a platinum catalyst works Date: September 16, 2015 Source: Vienna University of Technology Summary: Using ...

Naturally occurring in soils and sediments, iron oxides, too, can perform the reaction that transforms organic phosphorus to generate the inorganic form. How much and how fast?

In fact, iron oxides are incredibly efficient catalysts -- capable of driving the conversion at rates comparable to the reactions of enzymes.

A new low-temperature electrochemical process that produces metallic iron from iron oxide and saltwater could help clean up steelmaking’s act (Joule 2024, DOI: 10.1016/j.joule.2024.01.001).

This means the aluminium takes the oxygen from the iron oxide to produce aluminium oxide. The iron has been displaced from its compound so it is not bonded to anything after the reaction.

Redox reactions are involved in the extraction of metals from their ores, eg extracting iron by reduction within the blast furnace. Transition metals have high melting points and densities, form ...
