electrowinning of iron from ferrous sulfate 

Y E S

I don't want a thin layer here because this iron is for organic reduction but for that I would use something like iron 2 acetate instead.

And gorgeous outro :3

Might be a good idea although this iron is specifically for reduction of nitro groups into amines

​@@CatboyChemicalSociety Oh, so thats why you peeled the deposited iron from substrate. Currently, I'm doing a project to electroplate a carbon fiber mesh (CFRP) with Fe from FeSO4.7H2O electrolyte to make a Nickel-Iron Battery. May I ask, what other compounds that is non-toxic which likely can be added to electroplating bath as an additive to inhibit corrosion of the deposited metal? that will not precipitate salt in a KOH solution?

yea but that is pointless due to its high surface area and this iron is meant to be used as a reactant for particular reactions. If I wanted a piece to keep then I would plate it at lower current densities for weeks or maybe even with membrane.

@@CatboyChemicalSociety I mean exactly in order to clean high surface area reactive iron powder, i would suggest using stuff like Citric acid since it's a chelating substance aka it would dissolve only the oxides off the iron powder's surface, but would not react with the rest of the particle after removing the oxides. it would make your iron powder more reactive since there will be no oxides on it's surface but won't eat away your powder leaving you with less product (like HCL would for example)

yea could work but then the moment even any air or O2 diffuses into solution it reacts. I also dont know if citrates/acetates are compatible with the bechamp reduction.

@MysteriusBhoice you could flush off all remaining Citrates with acetone probably & cover the powder up with some paraffin oil or something similar to protect it from further oxidation, same way chemical vendors store things like alkali metals. why would you need the Citrates to be compatible with the Bechamp reduction anyway? aren't all the citrates that will be formed by the dissolution of the oxides going to be removed and thrown away anyway?

@@guyf4918 yea but with high surface area you will undoubtably have some citrate contamination which maybe an issue. like sure you can clean it up as much as you can but if the final result is Fe2O3 anyway it wont matter. like maybe for presentation it makes sense or to store in element collection but my main focus was to really prepare something usable for the purpose of that reaction.

yea but that kills resistance badly.

no the anode is iron and copper is cathode. There is also free iron in the form of pieces of metal dipped in solution shown at 3 minutes to reduce iron 3 sulfate into iron 2 sulfate. This iron is also not for electroforming tho it can be used for plating a thin layer of iron but mainly its used to prepare iron with high active surface area for the purpose of reduction of nitro groups into amine groups known as the bechamp reduction.

@@CatboyChemicalSociety thx you for answering! I wish you could do with membrane! 😊🙏 To get the sulfur would be awsome 🤤

this is nurdrages new channel, you live under a rock?

@@WeebRemover4500 lol I wouldnt know of nurdrage's status idk what he meant. we actually made a joke if nurdrage would end up as a catboy how would he look like.
