Applications of Cast Iron Powder – Eisen Industries
1. Reduction Grade
Iron powder plays a critical role as a reducing agent in metallurgical and chemical processes.
Extracts oxygen from compounds during metal refining
Enables chemical synthesis through reduction reactions
2. Intermediate Chemicals
Iron powder is essential for producing intermediate compounds across industries:
Catalysts – Accelerate chemical reactions
Pharmaceuticals – Serve as base materials
Dyes & Pigments – Industrial coloring agents
Agricultural Chemicals – Fertilizers and pesticides
3. Pharmaceutical Bulk Drug Process
Widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for:
Reduction reactions – Form active drug ingredients
Catalysis – Improve process efficiency
Iron supplements – For medicinal formulations
Excipients – Improve drug delivery and stability
High-purity iron powder is required under strict regulations.
4. Lead Smelting
A vital component in lead extraction and refining:
Reduces Lead Oxide (PbO) to metallic lead
Removes sulfur via iron sulfide (FeS) formation
Enhances purity and final product quality
5. Copper Smelting
Though not used in primary smelting, iron powder assists in refining:
Slag formation – Traps impurities
Matte conversion – Removes unwanted compounds
Alloying – Improves brass and bronze
Acts as a reducing agent in specific refining processes
