  2. Chemical coloring of metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_coloring_of_metals

    The beginning of modern science-based chemical or electrochemical coloring of metals is marked by Leopoldo Nobili's (1784–1835) discovery of Nobilis colored rings in 1826. [10] Leonhard Elsner, Alexander Watt, Antoine César Becquerel (1788–1878) and Rudolf Christian Böttger (1806–1881) are also important people in the early history of ...

  3. Iron oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_oxide

    Iron oxide pigment. The brown color indicates that iron is at the oxidation state +3. Green and reddish brown stains on a limestone core sample, respectively corresponding to oxides/hydroxides of Fe 2+ and Fe 3+. Iron oxides feature as ferrous or ferric or both. They adopt octahedral or tetrahedral coordination geometry. Only a few oxides are ...

  4. Black oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_oxide

    Hot black oxide for stainless steel is a mixture of caustic, oxidizing, and sulfur salts. It blackens 300 and 400 series and the precipitation-hardened 17-4 PH stainless steel alloys. The solution can be used on cast iron and mild low-carbon steel.

  5. Fenton's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenton's_reagent

    Fenton's reagent is a solution of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) and an iron catalyst (typically iron(II) sulfate, FeSO 4). [1] It is used to oxidize contaminants or waste water as part of an advanced oxidation process. Fenton's reagent can be used to destroy organic compounds such as trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene).

  6. Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

    Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture.Rust consists of hydrous iron(III) oxides (Fe 2 O 3 ·nH 2 O) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH) 3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron.

  7. Bluing (steel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluing_(steel)

    It is named after the blue-black appearance of the resulting protective finish. Bluing involves an electrochemical conversion coating resulting from an oxidizing chemical reaction with iron on the surface selectively forming magnetite (Fe 3 O 4), the black oxide of iron. In comparison, rust, the red oxide of iron (Fe 2 O

  8. Stain removal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stain_removal

    There is no chief underlying chemical reason why club soda would be superior to plain water in stain removal. [8] Glycerine This can be used to soften "set" stains, especially on wool and non-water-washable fabrics. [3] Boiling water This can be used to take out fruit juice stains. Hot water activates the detergent and as well as sanitize the ...

  9. Waterborne resins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterborne_resins

    Most coatings have four basic components. These are the resin, solvent, pigment and additive systems [5] but the resin or binder is the key ingredient. Continuing environmental legislation in many countries along with geopolitics such as oil production are ensuring that chemists are increasingly turning to waterborne technology for paint/coatings and since resins or binders are the most ...
