Goethite is an iron oxide mineral found in soils, sediments, and rocks, and is the main component of rust. Goethite is one of the most common iron minerals, and is an important source of iron for many organisms. Goethite has a variety of applications, including its use as an adsorbent, a catalyst in the production of synthetic fuels, a pigment in paints and coatings, and its use in the production of iron and steel products. In scientific research, Goethite is employed in the study of geology as an important component of rocks, in researching the effects of environmental pollution as a key element in smog, and in examining the impact of climate change as a significant constituent of dust. Furthermore, Goethite is an important source of iron for many organisms, influences the redox potential of systems, and can also affect the pH, all of which collectively can impact the growth and metabolism of organisms.

What is the particle size for this product?

Asked by: Jz28sail
Thank you for your question. This Goethite material is -325 mesh which means that 90% of it will go through a 325 mesh (44 micron) screen. We do not do any further particle size testing on the material.
