About Iron Metal Powder, Purified
Iron metal dust or powder possesses a gray lustrous appearance, has no odor, is practically
insoluble in water, but soluble in dilute acids at ambient conditions. It is stable in dry air but readily
oxidizes in the presence of moisture forming hydrated oxide or rust. It can be available in
extremely small particle size having a high surface-area-to-volume ratio, surface modifiability,
excellent magnetic properties, and great biocompatibility. Metallic Iron can be produced in two
ways from its ore. The first method, involving blast furnace, is the predominant method that
involves treatment of Iron ore mixed with cole and fluxes by preheated air. The second method is
direct smelting by using coal instead of coke. Purified Grade, also known as Pure or Practical
Grade, refers to those high-purity compounds that do not fulfill the ACS, the USP, or the FCC
grade requirements. They are mostly used in conjunction with Lab Grade chemicals. In the United
States of America (USA), Lab Alley is selling its high-quality Iron Metal Powder, Purified online
