HEMATITE (Iron Oxide)

Iron oxide is commonly used as a pigment for coloring all sorts of materials, like paints, plastics, and rubber. It is also used for the dye in tattoos. The major colors that can be created by iron oxide are red, black, yellow, and brown.

Iron oxide can be used as a catalyst, or a means to create a reaction between two other substances without being used itself, in many reactions. One reaction in which iron oxide is a catalyst is the converting of carbon monoxide, a toxic gas, into carbon dioxide, a necessary gas for the planet. Another instance in which iron oxide is used as a catalyst is the synthesis of ammonia. Many other reactions can be performed using iron oxide as a catalyst
