Iron oxide refers to a group of chemical compounds consisting of iron and oxygen atoms, and it comes in various colors, including red, yellow, and black. These compounds are commonly used as pigments in a wide range of applications, from coloring paints, ceramics, and plastics to tinting cosmetics and food products. Red iron oxide (Fe2O3) is often used for its rich, rust-red hue, while yellow iron oxide (Fe2O3�·H2O) provides a vibrant yellow color. Black iron oxide (Fe3O4) is employed as a dark pigment in inks and coatings. Beyond their coloring properties, iron oxides are also used in magnetic materials, catalysts, and as a source of iron in nutritional supplements. The versatility of iron oxide pigments and their ability to add color and functionality to various products make them essential compounds in many industries.
Iron ore is the main raw material that is used in the manufacturing of steel. 98% of the mined iron ore goes in the steel production. India has rich deposits of Iron Ore and is among the top 10 exporter of iron ore in the world.
Iron ore is a mineral substance which, when heated in the presence of a reductant, will yield metallic iron (Fe). It almost always consists of iron oxides, the primary forms of which are magnetite (Fe3O4) and hematite (Fe2O3). Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries.
It is therefore essential for the production of steel, which in turn is essential to maintain a strong industrial base. Our monthly ability to export Iron Ore is of 2000-5000MT per month.
Iron oxide is a compound composed of iron and oxygen, used in various industries, iron oxide is used as a pigment, in the production of magnetic materials, and in other applications.
Iron Oxide has various commercial uses such as iron ores, catalysts, pigments in dental composites; pigments in paints, coatings, colored concentrates. The magnetic properties of iron oxides have been exploited in a broad range of applications including magnetic seals and inks, magnetic recording media, catalysts, and ferrofluids. The steel and iron industries utilize iron oxide as a feedstock to mass produce iron, steel and other alloys.
