3.Some other uses.Iron oxide pigments are also used in pastels,colored matches,leather coloring paints.4.The development of multi-variety and multi-brands.Iron oxide pigments are widely used,from concrete coloring to being used as transparent pigments in high-end car paints.From primer level to food level,the end-use grades vary greatly.Therefore,iron oxide is implemented.Multi-variety and multi-brand production must be targeted to meet the performance and economic needs of various users.4.1 Common iron oxide pigments International Organization for Standardization and my country's national standards have established relevant standards,and iron oxide pigments are divided into four series according to pigments,namely red,yellow,brown and black.Major foreign companies produce iron oxide pigments under many brand names,and domestic manufacturers have their own corporate standards.Basically,they tend to have many varieties and grades of iron oxide pigments.
4.2 Micronized iron oxide pigment The synthetic iron oxide or natural iron oxide is pulverized to a fineness of less than 5 m with ultra-fine grinding equipment,which is called fine iron oxide.For the synthesis of iron oxide,it is actually a disintegration process designed to break up aggregates and agglomerates.Because the fine iron oxide can increase the coloring power by 5%without changing the hue condition,it is easy to disperse,the paint film has high gloss,and prevents precipitation,floating and blooming in the application system,so it has been widely used in foreign countries and is commercialized by Bayer.Almost all iron red,most iron yellow,and some iron black.According to the needs,in the process of fine grinding,a certain amount of surfactants(dispersants,anti-settling agents,dispersion stabilizers,etc.)should be added to the iron oxide.It is one of the methods to make easily dispersible iron oxide pigments.Dispersion grade iron oxide refers to iron oxide whose dispersibility can reach the Hegman fineness reading 7.0.The dispersibility of iron oxide pigments depends not only on the manufacturing process but also on post-processing(drying,classification,crushing,etc.).Because the crystal particles are all wrapped in the dispersant and the anti-precipitation agent,the dispersion effect is good,and the pigment precipitation is solved.
4.3 Transparent iron oxide pigments There are four colors of transparent iron oxide pigments:red,yellow,black,and brown.Each color can be subdivided into several grades.They are all produced by precipitation method.The primary particles are very Fine,(0•01～0.0Gadolinium m'-)has no scattering power on visible light waves.Therefore,it has no hiding power and is in a transparent state.In addition,it has:obvious ability to absorb 1 ultraviolet light.It is used in wood coloring and car surface gilding,volume,and sculpturing.
4.4 Heat-resistant grade iron oxide pigments In general use,the heat resistance of iron oxide red is not a problem,but the general iron oxide yellow,iron black and iron brown contain crystal water(iron yellow)FeO(iron Black),crystal water(iron brown),dehydration or oxidation at 1 770C,and discoloration,so it cannot be used in plastics,rubber and baking coatings that need to be processed at higher temperatures.Large foreign companies produce The heat-resistant grade iron oxide mainly uses Fe in the nucleus type,such as Bayer's heat-resistant iron yellow,and the use of iron,zinc,and silicon to partially replace the lattice cluster seam plastic earth sewer is zinc ferrite pigment.Suitable for plastics and paints resistant to a certain temperature(silicone coatings,urethane resin 4.5 anti-flocculation iron oxide with Al:O,and or SiO z-coated iron oxide pigments.It is called anti-flocculation iron oxide.This kind of iron oxide is particularly suitable for coatings.Coated iron oxide is the development direction of iron oxide pigments.It is considered to be a new generation of iron oxide pigments for coatings.Its representative is the 120FS and 1 30FS that Bayer has launched on the market in recent years.It uses A1203-Si02 Coated,FS means anti-coagulation.Because it is easy to disperse and has good anti-flocculation,the stability of the dispersion is high,the gloss of the coating film is improved,and the fogging is small.It is especially suitable for automotive coatings,automotive repair paints,and coils.Coatings,industrial coatings,various color pastes and gloss latex pastes.

4.7 Iron oxide yellow modern iron oxide pigments with low oil absorption are increasingly supplied in the form of paste(pre-dispersion).In order to reduce manufacturing and transportation costs and save energy for users,modern pigment pre-dispersion The pigment concentration is getting higher and higher,which requires the pigment to have a very low oil absorption(oily color paste)and water absorption(water absorption color paste).The spherical particles of iron red,iron black and iron palm are made of low oil absorption.Variety is not a big problem,but the acicular iron yellow generally has a high oil absorption and water absorption,which is very unfavorable for the preparation of high-concentration pre-dispersions.In order to overcome this_==evil.Manufacturers in argon countries all produce iron yellow with low oil absorption.The needle-shaped iron yellow is mechanically treated to reduce oil absorption by about 40%.Bayer's low oil absorption of 9.5,which is also 0c-FeOOH,is The production process is controlled to form high-strength spherical needle-like aggregates.In addition to being suitable for the manufacture of high-concentration color pastes for coatings and plastics,there is also no needle-like iron yellow in coatings and cast plastic films,which tend to form filaments.Striated.
4.8 Anti-rust type iron oxides,except for mica iron oxide,general synthetic iron oxides are not anti-rust pigments,but some ferrites developed in recent years can be used as anti-rust pigments.Bayer's zinc ferrite has been introduced in recent years.Known as a cobalt-free and chromium-free anti-rust pigment,it is mainly used as an anti-rust pigment where cobalt and chromium cannot be contained.
4.9 Composite and mixed iron oxides The current worldwide shortage of ferrous iron resources(especially the CIS)requires effective reduction of the basic material Fe of iron oxide pigments.O.The former Soviet Union experts developed the iron barium red production process and realized industrial production.This process is essentially the reaction of ferrous sulfate and barium hydroxide to produce Fe.O 3•BaS04 composite pigment,in which Fe 2 03>40%,hiding power<15g/m2.An iron-calcium yellow pigment has also been developed,which has formed a production capacity of 3000t/a.It develops and utilizes pickling liquid FeSO.Alkaline synthesis in the presence of seed crystals.This iron-calcium yellow is bright yellow and can be used for exterior wall coatings.There are also large-scale production of iron oxide pigments mixed with natural iron oxide and synthetic iron oxide in foreign countries.For example,the Holly&Sons subsidiary in the United Kingdom can produce 8 brands of varieties,and there are also organic products produced abroad with 5%organic red pigments.An inorganic mixed iron red.
4.10 Special iron oxides All iron oxides except colored iron oxide should belong to special iron oxides,but they are only used in fine products,so iron oxides that have high requirements for their quality and performance are special oxides.iron.Such as pet food grade(feed grade),cosmetic grade,pharmaceutical grade,cigarette paper grade,electronic grade,magnetic recording material grade,etc.(the amount is not large,but the added value is high.Special iron oxide varieties include iron red,iron yellow,Iron brown,iron black.
4.11 Mica iron pearlescent pigment.The mica iron pearlescent pigment belongs to the nucleated iron oxide,which is golden and golden red with high value.However,the amount of this expensive pigment is very small,and it is mainly used for high-grade car top paints with different colors(for angular gloss and angular color)and other high-end uses.It is formed by depositing a layer of transparent iron oxide red on the mica sheet with a ferrous salt solution by special means.Many foreign pearlescent pigment manufacturers produce Fe:0.One TiO:one mica and Fe20,one cloud series of pearlescent pigments.
In the international market,the largest consumption sectors of iron oxide are the construction industry and the coatings industry,which account for 60 to 70%of the total consumption.The rise and fall of these two industries and changes in demand directly contribute to the consumption status of the iron oxide market.Both the existing market and the potential market are mainly controlled by the demand for colored building materials.Foreign iron oxide pigments have always been known for their variety and composition,and constantly develop new varieties according to market and customer requirements to maintain their leading position in the competition.In foreign countries,although no new iron oxide products with novel chemical structures have been created for many years,they have basically mastered the production rules of pigments,and developed a variety of different types by controlling the particle size,particle size distribution,sub-shape,and various surface treatment technologies.Performance of new products.The most important feature of the foreign iron oxide industry is its high degree of monopoly.Whether it is production,operation,or variety,it is controlled by a few groups,countries and regions.Therefore,it is extremely competitive in the international market,followed by product quality and design,which can fully meet the requirements of different industries.In the development and innovation work for many years,it has strong vitality.Due to the non-toxic nature of iron oxide pigments,it is more likely to replace toxic inorganic pigments.As iron oxide pigments enter the 21st century,they still occupy a large pigment market.In the future,iron oxide will still focus on the development of easy-dispersing,heat-resistant and various functional products,such as iron oxide powder or paste products that can be easily dispersed in concrete slurry to meet the needs of the construction industry,and transparent iron oxide for the automotive industry and wood coloring Paste product to overcome the shortcomings of difficulty in dispersion of fine transparent iron oxide.Iron oxide pigments that require heat resistance,such as the plastics industry,coil coatings and powder coatings,are also the focus of continued development.The development of functional iron oxide pigments such as mica iron oxide pearlescent pigments(core-clad type),magnetic iron oxide,adhesion and other industry development will expand the varieties of functional iron oxides,the finer products of iron oxide pigments and the further development of corresponding technologies,Can make iron oxide pigments be used in more demanding occasions,which can increase the added value of iron oxide pigments.Maintaining the quality of the original products is also an area that the iron oxide industry should always pay attention to.Only the areas that have always been paid attention to,and only consistent excellent quality can maintain the long-term market share.Our domestic iron oxide industry is a part of the global iron oxide industry.To enter the international market,to be in line with international standards,we must work together to give full play to the collective strength of the industry.The future of the iron oxide industry is bright,but there is a long way to go.The industry must continue to grow and develop.
Analysis of the current overall development of China's magnetic materials industry.At present,China has 1,096 magnetic material manufacturers and related companies,including 359 ferrite manufacturers,226 rare earth magnets and metal magnets,and the rest are ancillary equipment manufacturers and auxiliary companies.Raw material production enterprises.There are 197 permanent ferrite manufacturers with an output of 410,000 tons(36 tons of sintered magnets and 50,000 tons of bonded magnets),and 162 soft ferrite manufacturers with an output of 300,000 tons(260,000 tons of manganese,zinc,and nickel).40,000 tons of zinc and magnesium zinc),40,000 tons of neodymium iron boron magnets,and 3,500 tons of aluminum nickel cobalt metal magnets.The above data includes foreign-funded enterprises in China.China's ferrite industry basically maintains a growth rate of more than 20%,doubling its output every five years on average.In the 21st century,the growth rate of China's bonded permanent ferrites has accelerated,and the output now reaches 50,000 tons,except for the original traditional isotropic bonded permanent ferrites,such as refrigerator door seal magnetic strips and kinescope focusing magnetic rings In addition to the growth of slices,anisotropic bonded permanent ferrites,such as magnets used in micro-motors and thin paper advertising patch magnets,have increased.At present,isotropic magnets account for 60%of bonded permanent ferrite magnets,and their magnetic energy product is between 0.7 and 1.0 MGOe,and anisotropic magnets account for 40%,and their magnetic energy product is between 1.4 and 1.6 MGOe.They are mainly used in various types Of micro motors.In recent years,the product quality and grade of ferrite magnets in China have been greatly improved,and basically can produce products of various grades and standards of TDK Corporation in Japan.The permanent magnet performance of sintered ferrite produced with iron scale as raw material reaches FB4B,and the performance of magnet produced with iron oxide as raw material reaches FB5 and FB6.The performance of manganese-zinc soft ferrite power materials generally reaches PC30-PC40,a few can produce PC44,PC50 and other brands of products;high permeability materials generally reach 8000μi,and a few can produce materials with 12,000 to 15,000.Currently,permanent ferrite products account for 42%of applications in high-tech fields,such as home appliances(microwave ovens,air conditioners,electric small appliances),office supplies(copiers,fax machines),automobiles,motorcycles,high-fidelity audio,and instrument sensor components.The application of traditional middle and low-end products accounted for 58%,such as speakers,adsorption magnets,toy motors,and magnetic separation devices.Now soft ferrite products,high-tech applications account for 22%,such as digital communications,electromagnetic compatibility(EMC),radio frequency broadband,anti-electromagnetic interference(EMI),high-definition displays,and automotive electronics.Traditional middle and low-end products account for 78%of applications,such as televisions,power adapters,electronic ballasts,ordinary switching power supply transformers,and antenna rods.The current application situation of neodymium iron boron magnets in China is as follows.The application of high-tech products accounts for 37%,such as MRI,mobile phone vibration,hard disk drive voice coil(VCM),optical disk(DVD,CD-ROM)drive spindle,Power tools,electric cars.The application of traditional middle and low-end products accounted for 63%,such as audio devices,magnetic adsorption devices,magnetic separators,and magnetizers.On the whole,the performance of China's ferrite magnets is still in the middle and low grades.Although the output ranks first in the world,the output value is not ideal.At present,the total output value of magnetic materials in China is about 26.5 billion yuan,the output value of permanent ferrite is 6.2 billion yuan,and the average price is 15,000 yuan/ton;the output value of soft ferrite is 9.3 billion yuan,the average price is 31,000 yuan/ton,and the remaining samarium cobalt Magnets,neodymium iron boron magnets and metal magnets account for 11 billion yuan in the market.In 2006,China exported 230,000 tons of various magnets,with an export value of only 860 million US dollars;imported 69,000 tons of various magnets,while the import value reached 570 million US dollars.The import and export volume and amount of magnetic materials from China's customs statistics can also reflect that China's magnet prices are far lower than international prices.The problem of raw materials needed for Chinese magnetic materials.About 70%of China's permanent ferrite manufacturers use iron scales as raw materials.This is a major feature.Because iron scales are used instead of iron oxide,the cost of raw materials is reduced by 30%,which is very competitive.Of course,the products produced are basically middle and low-end products,but through the efforts of Chinese scientific and technical personnel,the product performance is stable at Y30H-3(China's permanent ferrite standard),which is equivalent to the FB4B level of TDK in Japan.In recent years,due to the increase in the output of high-grade permanent ferrite magnets,there has been a shortage of iron oxide raw materials,and about 30,000 tons of iron oxide have to be imported from abroad.The raw materials used for soft ferrite are mainly iron oxide,trimanganese tetroxide,magnesium oxide,nickel oxide and zinc oxide.The quality and output of China's trimanganese tetroxide can not only meet the domestic demand for soft ferrite,but also export;magnesium oxide,nickel oxide and zinc oxide auxiliary materials can also meet the development needs of China's soft ferrite.However,iron oxide,the main raw material for soft ferrite,which accounts for 70%,cannot meet the growing demand for soft ferrite in China in terms of quality and quantity,and needs to be imported.The problem now is that with the development of China's steel industry,iron oxide raw materials are not a restrictive factor.The biggest problem is the rising prices of auxiliary raw materials such as manganese,zinc,nickel and rare earth neodymium,which restrict the development of magnetic materials.
China's magnet development analysis.China's magnetic material industry will have a stable development period with its abundant resources and labor advantages,as well as huge domestic and foreign market support.Today,the production of magnetic material magnets is mainly concentrated in Asia,Japan mainly uses high-end magnets;China uses medium and low-end magnets as the main body,and divides part of the high-end product market;other Southeast Asian countries divides part of the middle and low-end product market.As China has a good complete machine supporting market and investment environment,it has accelerated the transfer of ferrite magnet manufacturing in Japan,Europe and the United States to China.
It is predicted that by 2010,China's ferrite magnet output will exceed 60%of the global output,and NdFeB magnets will account for 80%of the global output.Now,1)China's core magnetic material production enterprise has been formed,and the output and output value of the enterprise are both in the forefront of the world.2)China also has more than 20 colleges and universities that offer magnetics majors and business research and development centers,and the quality of products is constantly improving.3)China's magnetic material magnet manufacturing equipment has been continuously improved in terms of automation,efficiency and performance.
The biggest problem in China's magnetic material industry
1,capital and knowledge are out of touch.There are now many companies with capital.According to statistics,nearly 30 listed companies have joined the magnetic materials industry.Some listed companies in the field of non-magnetic materials rely solely on capital investment and lack cooperation with research institutes and enterprises with certain technologies.The effect of doing it alone is not satisfactory.
2.Insufficient investment in science and technology.Some large domestic enterprises have less investment in science and technology and have no consideration for technological innovation.Foreign companies invest about 5%of their total profits in technology development.
3,there is a lack of joint development with downstream products.Since China's complete machine development follows the foreign market and rarely communicates with magnetic companies,the magnetic industry is always in a passive position in the use of complete machines.
4.There are too many magnetic material companies in China,and emerging companies can only rely on lowering prices to occupy the market,which is endless like a snowball.In addition,China's market competition has no rules of the game and no self-regulation mechanism.
In short,the future is bright.In the 21st century,the international magnetic materials center is transferred to China,and China will become the world's largest magnetic material production base and magnetic material sales market.All enterprises should formulate their own tactics in accordance with the development strategy of China's magnetic materials,from small to large,from large to strong,from domestic to international,step by step to realize their grand ideals.We firmly believe that:Chinese magnetic materials companies will be international giants.
For centuries mankind has utilized naturally occurring iron oxides as coloring agents. It is only in the last century that people have developed ways to chemically synthesize these natural reactions. More recently the Hoover Color Division of CATHAY INDUSTRIES has worked in conjunction with iron oxide recovery to modify a naturally occurring process to produce a series of unique iron oxides pigments. Not only is the EnvironOxide® range a good source of color, it is also a by-product of a successful reclamation project.
Most people recognize that sulfur is a major contaminant in coal. As coal is burned, sulfur is released into the atmosphere where it combines with moisture to produce acid rain. Coal with even higher sulfur levels is unsaleable and left at the mines in overburden piles. What most people fail to recognize is that the sulfur in coal is not elemental sulfur, but an iron sulfide that is more commonly referred to as the mineral Fool’s Gold. When Fool’s Gold comes into contact with water it dissolves, becoming sulfuric acid. A serious environmental condition is created when this acid migrates into streams and rivers, killing off both plants and animals.
This hazardous acid, however, does have an unseen benefit. The iron from the Fool’s Gold is dissolved in the sulfuric acid. If the acid is properly neutralized, it will precipitate out as a hydrated iron oxide yellow, which can be utilized as a pigment. Just like other naturally occurring yellow iron oxides, EnvironOxide Yellow can be heat-treated or “burned” to produce a red color (Figure 1). Unlike mined iron oxides, which consume a specific mineral deposit or a synthetic chemical process that consumes raw material, the EnvironOxide process as observed over the last 60 years appears to be completely sustainable.
Our pilot facility is located on the campus of a small American university. In the 1950s the Chemistry Department started to analyze the acid mine seep on campus. At that time the seep was measured to contain 58 ppm iron. More recent observations measure in the iron content at 56 ppm range. Therefore, it is safe to conclude that iron oxides from these sources are sustainable for the foreseeable future.
Being a pure iron oxide, these products give the same lightfastness and chemical resistance that people have come to appreciate from iron oxides over the centuries. The major difference between the typical, synthetically produced iron oxides and this new range of products is that the latter are significantly smaller in primary crystal size, thus more transparent (Figure 2). This is not a unique trait among iron oxides. Umber’s and sienna’s transparency have been used for centuries in transparent wood stains. Today, high-end synthetically produced transparent iron oxides are manufactured for demanding applications, such as automotive coatings.
Conventional, synthetically produced iron oxides are produced to be opaque. One traditional measurement of the pigment’s quality is its color strength when tinted with TiO2. This is an indirect measurement of its chemical purity and its apparent surface area after a given level of dispersion energy is applied (Figure 3). Being transparent, traditional color strength measurements for transparent pigments are misleading. We can achieve opacity with transparent iron oxides by increasing the pigment loading or combining it with a high-opacity pigment like TiO2. We can also reduce the loading of a conventional opaque iron oxide to achieve the same contrast ratio as a transparent iron oxide. Unfortunately, neither approach really measures the pigment quality, especially the quality of its transparency. Following conventional wisdom, all of the transparent iron oxides in the above example are weaker than a similar colored opaque iron oxide, despite similar purity and higher surface areas. Of course, one would expect a transparent pigment to allow more TiO2 to reflect light. So, is that really strength or the visual effect of the color differences that we are seeing?
Today’s spectrophotometers utilize a contrast ratio to evaluate how opaque a coating is. It measures a coating over a white and a black substrate. The closer the color measurements are, the more opaque the coating is. So often the inverse is used to determine the transparency of a coating. But visually this is also misleading. At equal contrast ratio, pigments that have been designed for opacity have a visual “milkiness” when utilized in a transparent coating. As you can see in Table 1, an opaque iron oxide is “milky” when viewed at an equal contrast ratio with transparent iron oxides.
The quality of the transparency between pigments can be evaluated by using a simple dE calculation, where the standard is the black substrate and the sample is the pigment in a coating at equivalent contrast ratios. The smaller the dE* CIELAB value is, the “cleaner” the quality of the transparent color. In this example, the transparent-synthetic iron oxide has the smallest dE and visually the “cleanest” transparency (Figure 4). Of course, this is just a relative comparison, not an absolute value; but it is useful in comparing the transparency of coatings or pigments in similar coatings.
In conclusion, as an iron oxide pigment’s primary crystal decreases in size, the pigment becomes more transparent. These transparent particles can come from naturally occurring processes, they can be chemically manufactured or they can be produced from this unique process, which can be used to accomplish yellow, red, orange and brown pigments. While currently slightly “milkier” than synthetically produced transparent iron oxides, EnvironOxide products are “cleaner” than the traditional umbers, siennas and ochres in a transparent coating. In wood coatings this “milkiness” difference is unrecognizable because of the nature of the substrate. At higher loadings or in combination with TiO2, this product range can be used as part of eco-friendly opaque coatings systems. Red shades also have the heat stability needed for powder and coil coating applications (Figure 5). Therefore, these products are ideal for coating systems in pleasing earth-tone colors.
