Common Nameiron(III) oxide-hydroxide
DescriptionIron(III) oxide-hydroxide is a chemical compound belonging to the class of metal oxides and hydroxides. Its structure typically consists of iron ions coordinated with hydroxide groups, forming a network that contributes to its properties as an adsorbent. In various studies, iron(III) oxide-hydroxide has been utilized to enhance the adsorption capabilities of materials, particularly for the removal of heavy metals such as lead(II) ions from aqueous solutions. For instance, modifications of sugarcane bagasse with iron(III) oxide-hydroxide have been shown to significantly improve its efficacy in lead adsorption (PMID:36725878 , PMID:36702856 ). The incorporation of iron(III) oxide-hydroxide into zeolite A and sugarcane bagasse bead formulations has been characterized through various analytical techniques, revealing its impact on the physical and chemical properties of the adsorbents (PMID:36725878 , PMID:36702856 ). Additionally, studies have demonstrated that iron(III) oxide-hydroxide can enhance the performance of other materials, such as lemon peel beads, by improving their material efficiency compared to alternatives like zinc oxide (PMID:36406531 ). This highlights its potential applications in environmental remediation and material science.
