Hot Read: Researchers Publish New Paper on Use of Iron and Iron-bearing Minerals

Engineers in many fields—civil, chemical, electrical, medical, for example—use iron and iron-bearing minerals. And several methods have been developed to identify and classify iron in these many different scenarios. A new article co-authored by CEGE Professor Bill Arnold gathers and reviews several of these methods to help improve accessibility and standardization across disciplines. The paper was published in July and in August it was one of the top three most-read articles in the journal ACS Earth and Space Science Chemistry.
