Iron(III) oxide or ferric oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula Fe2O3. It is one of the three main oxides of iron, the other two being iron(II) oxide (FeO), which is rare; and iron(II,III) oxide (Fe3O4), which also occurs naturally as the mineral magnetite. As the mineral known as hematite, Fe2O3 is the main... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
Fe2O3 can be obtained in various polymorphs. In the main one, α, iron adopts octahedral coordination geometry. That is, each Fe center is bound to six oxygen ligands. In the γ polymorph, some of the Fe sit on tetrahedral sites, with four oxygen ligands. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
α-Fe2O3 has the rhombohedral, corundum (α-Al2O3) structure and is the most common form. It occurs naturally as the mineral hematite which is mined as the main ore of iron. It is antiferromagnetic below ~260 K (Morin transition temperature), and exhibits weak ferromagnetism between 260 K and the Néel temperature, 950 K.... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
γ-Fe2O3 has a cubic structure. It is metastable and converted from the alpha phase at high temperatures. It occurs naturally as the mineral maghemite. It is ferromagnetic and finds application in recording tapes, although ultrafine particles smaller than 10 nanometers are superparamagnetic. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
It can be prepared by thermal dehydratation of gamma iron(III) oxide-hydroxide. Another method involves the careful oxidation of iron(II,III) oxide (Fe3O4). The ultrafine particles can be prepared by thermal decomposition of iron(III) oxalate. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
Several other phases have been identified or claimed. The β-phase is cubic body-centered (space group Ia3), metastable, and at temperatures above 500 °C (930 °F) converts to alpha phase. It can be prepared by reduction of hematite by carbon, pyrolysis of iron(III) chloride solution, or thermal decomposition of iron(III... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
Material with a high proportion of epsilon phase can be prepared by thermal transformation of the gamma phase. The epsilon phase is also metastable, transforming to the alpha phase at between 500 and 750 °C (930 and 1,380 °F). It can also be prepared by oxidation of iron in an electric arc or by sol-gel precipitation f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
Molten Fe2O3 is expected to have a coordination number of close to 5 oxygen atoms about each iron atom, based on measurements of slightly oxygen deficient supercooled liquid iron oxide droplets, where supercooling circumvents the need for the high oxygen pressures required above the melting point to maintain stoichiome... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
Several hydrates of Iron(III) oxide exist. When alkali is added to solutions of soluble Fe(III) salts, a red-brown gelatinous precipitate forms. This is not Fe(OH)3, but Fe2O3·H2O (also written as Fe(O)OH). Several forms of the hydrated oxide of Fe(III) exist as well. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
The red lepidocrocite (γ-Fe(O)OH) occurs on the outside of rusticles, and the orange goethite (α-Fe(O)OH) occurs internally in rusticles. When Fe2O3·H2O is heated, it loses its water of hydration. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
Further heating at 1670 kelvin converts Fe2O3 to black Fe3O4 (FeIIFeIII2O4), which is known as the mineral magnetite. Fe(O)OH is soluble in acids, giving 3+. In concentrated aqueous alkali, Fe2O3 gives 3−. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
The most important reaction is its carbothermal reduction, which gives iron used in steel-making: Fe2O3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO2Another redox reaction is the extremely exothermic thermite reaction with aluminium. 2 Al + Fe2O3 → 2 Fe + Al2O3This process is used to weld thick metals such as rails of train tracks by using a ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
Partial reduction with hydrogen at about 400 °C produces magnetite, a black magnetic material that contains both Fe(III) and Fe(II): 3 Fe2O3 + H2 → 2 Fe3O4 + H2OIron(III) oxide is insoluble in water but dissolves readily in strong acid, e.g. hydrochloric and sulfuric acids. It also dissolves well in solutions of chelat... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
Iron(III) oxide is a product of the oxidation of iron. It can be prepared in the laboratory by electrolyzing a solution of sodium bicarbonate, an inert electrolyte, with an iron anode: 4 Fe + 3 O2 + 2 H2O → 4 FeO(OH)The resulting hydrated iron(III) oxide, written here as FeO(OH), dehydrates around 200 °C. 2 FeO(OH) → F... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
The overwhelming application of iron(III) oxide is as the feedstock of the steel and iron industries, e.g. the production of iron, steel, and many alloys. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
A very fine powder of ferric oxide is known as "jeweler's rouge", "red rouge", or simply rouge. It is used to put the final polish on metallic jewelry and lenses, and historically as a cosmetic. Rouge cuts more slowly than some modern polishes, such as cerium(IV) oxide, but is still used in optics fabrication and by je... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
Rouge is sold as a powder, paste, laced on polishing cloths, or solid bar (with a wax or grease binder). Other polishing compounds are also often called "rouge", even when they do not contain iron oxide. Jewelers remove the residual rouge on jewelry by use of ultrasonic cleaning. Products sold as "stropping compound" a... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
Iron(III) oxide is also used as a pigment, under names "Pigment Brown 6", "Pigment Brown 7", and "Pigment Red 101". Some of them, e.g. Pigment Red 101 and Pigment Brown 6, are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in cosmetics. Iron oxides are used as pigments in dental composites alongside tita... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
Iron(III) oxide was the most common magnetic particle used in all types of magnetic storage and recording media, including magnetic disks (for data storage) and magnetic tape (used in audio and video recording as well as data storage). Its use in computer disks was superseded by cobalt alloy, enabling thinner magnetic ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
α-Fe2O3 has been studied as a photoanode for solar water oxidation. However, its efficacy is limited by a short diffusion length (2–4 nm) of photo-excited charge carriers and subsequent fast recombination, requiring a large overpotential to drive the reaction. Research has been focused on improving the water oxidation ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
Calamine lotion, used to treat mild itchiness, is chiefly composed of a combination of zinc oxide, acting as astringent, and about 0.5% iron(III) oxide, the product's active ingredient, acting as antipruritic. The red color of iron(III) oxide is also mainly responsible for the lotion's pink color. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeweler's_rouge |
Nationalization (nationalisation in British English) is the process of transforming privately-owned assets into public assets by bringing them under the public ownership of a national government or state. Nationalization contrasts with privatization and with demutualization. When previously nationalized assets are priv... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalization |
Nationalization may occur with or without financial compensation to the former owners. Nationalization is distinguished from property redistribution in that the government retains control of nationalized property. Some nationalizations take place when a government seizes property acquired illegally. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalization |
For example, in 1945 the French government seized the car-maker Renault because its owners had collaborated with the 1940–1944 Nazi occupiers of France. In September 2021, Berliners voted to expropriate over 240,000 housing units, many of which were being held unoccupied as investment property.Economists distinguish be... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalization |

Expropriation is the seizure of private property by a public agency for a purpose deemed to be in the public interest. It may also be used as a penalty for criminal proceedings. Expropriation differs from eminent domain in that the property owner is not compensated for the seized property. Unlike eminent domain, exprop... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalization |
Studies have found that nationalization follows a cyclical trend. Nationalization rose in the 1960s and 1970s, followed by an increase in privatization in the 80s and 90s, followed again by an increase in nationalization in the 2000s and 2010s. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalization |
The term appears as "expropriation of expropriators (ruling classes)" in Marxist theory, and also as the slogan "Loot the looters!" ("грабь награбленное"), which was very popular during the Russian October Revolution. The term is also used to describe nationalization campaigns by communist states, such as dekulakizatio... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalization |

The pyruvate scale measures pungency in onions and garlic with units of μmol/gfw (micromoles per gram fresh weight). It is named after pyruvic acid, the alpha-keto acid co-product created in the biochemical pathway that forms syn-propanethial-S-oxide, the main lachrymatory agent in onions. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyruvate_scale |
The standard onion has an eight rating, while "sweet onions" have a two or three rating on the scale. The lower the score or scale the more "sweet" the onions are rated. Anything less than five is considered a sweet onion. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyruvate_scale |
The Vidalia onion variety is considered sweet and must have a score of 5.0 μmol/gfw or less. The Supasweet onion (usually grown in Lincolnshire, England) registers 1.5 to 2 on the scale. A standard brown onion is usually in the range of 6–7 out of 10. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyruvate_scale |
Soil type, rain, and sunlight affect the pungency in onions and garlic and, therefore, their score on the pyruvate scale. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyruvate_scale |
Shalihotra was a veterinarian and writer. His work, the Shalihotra Samhita, is an early Indian treatise on veterinary medicine (hippiatrics), likely composed in the 3rd century BCE.It is attributed to Shalihotra, the son of a sage named Hayagosha.

Shalihotra's principal work was a large treatise on the care and management of horses, the Shalihotra Samhita (encyclopedia of the physician Shalihotra) having some 12,000 shlokas in Sanskrit. It has been translated into Persian, Arabic, Tibetan and English languages. This work described equine and elephant anatomy, ph... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shalihotra |
Two other works, namely Asva-prashnsa and Asva-lakshana sastram are also attributed to Shalihotra. Some of the later authors have named their veterinary works after Shalihotra and others have based their work on his Samhita. Subsequent generations copied, revised and added to Shalihotra's text. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shalihotra |
one of these later texts is shown in the illustration above. Hence, the term "Shalihotra" refers to similar texts in a tradition. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shalihotra |
Muni Palkapya wrote Hasti Ayurveda, covering all aspects of elephant medicine. This book has four sections and 152 chapters, including the anatomy of elephants.
