Description

Iron is the fourth most abundant element in the earth’s crust (5%). It is a transition metal and is placed within the d-block of the periodic table and naturally occurs coordinated with other elements. It is mainly extracted from hematite (Fe2O3) and limonite (Fe2O3·3H2O), although other ores, such as magnetite (Fe3O4), siderite (FeCO3), and taconite (an iron silicate), are also the key sources. Iron is used principally for structural materials, primarily steel, an iron carbon alloy. It is also
