Description and Uses

Iron(III) oxide is known in mineral form as hematite, which is the primary form of iron ore. It is also known simply as iron oxide or ferric oxide and is what is colloquially called rust when referring to the corrosion of iron objects.
Iron (III) oxide exists in mineral form as hematite.It is 70% iron and is the primary source of iron ore in the world. About 90% of the iron mined in the United States is hematite. World production of this ore is more than 1 billion tons. Magnetite and taconite are two other primary iron oxide minerals used as iron ore.The name hematite comes from the blood-red color of powdered hematite.
