Iron Carbonate and Its Bioavailability in Sheep
In the iron industry, ferrous carbonate (FeCO3) is a valuable raw material because it can be reduced to elemental iron by hydrogen reduction. However, current industrial processes produce mixtures of FeCO3 and hematite (Fe2 O3) that are expensive, non-stoichiometric and sensitive to oxidation. This paper describes a new process for direct reduction of mineral iron …
