Using pictures with atomic resolution, the mechanism of an important chemical reaction has finally be explained: When platinum nanoparticles act as catalysts on an iron oxide surface, the surface ...

Sodium ions passed through the membrane to the cathode, where they reacted with iron oxide, producing NaOH and high-purity metallic iron. The iron got plated on a copper collector as a solid film.

Subsequently, an individual sample was studied to determine the elemental composition and ultimately the chemical state of the elements identified. A ‘survey’ scan was used to detect the elemental ...

Metals and non-metals can be heated in oxygen to make compounds called oxides. Find out more with this guide for KS3 physics students aged 11-14 from BBC Bitesize.

Discovery of new iron oxides points to large oxygen source inside Earth High-pressure experiments reveal chemical complexity of iron oxides Date: February 11, 2016 Source: Deutsches Elektronen ...

Last year UO chemist Paul Kempler and his team reported a way to create iron with electrochemistry, using a series of chemical reactions that turn saltwater and iron oxide into pure iron metal.

Iron Oxide May Explain Mysterious Anomalies Under the Earth’s Surface Iron oxide’s melting point is much higher than previously thought, lending credence to a theory that explains unusual behavior ...

First, the researchers prepared high surface area iron oxide particles with internal holes and connective cavities to investigate how the nanoscale morphology of the particles impacted the ...

The chemical composition of cement influences its performance. Through elemental analysis, the quality of cement can be determined; it also indicates which applications it is most suitable for. XRF is ...
