Iron Sulfide (FeS) Hazardous

The monosulfide, not pyrite: this is the iron sulfide phase that goes into sulfur chemistry and electrode work, not the one chased as a solar absorber.

Applications

FeS is the classic bench source of hydrogen sulfide on demand, generated by reaction with hydrochloric acid in a Kipp's apparatus. Industrially it is a resulfurising and alloying addition in free-machining carbon, alloy and stainless steels, and a pigment in ceramics, glass and paint. In materials work the FeS phase is of interest for lithium-ion battery and supercapacitor electrodes, which is a separate line of research from pyrite, FeS2, the phase pursued as a photovoltaic absorber.

  • Laboratory hydrogen sulfide generation with acid
  • Resulfurising and alloying agent for free-machining steels
  • Lithium-ion battery and supercapacitor electrode research
