What is formed when dimethyl sulfoxide reacts with iron?
Thread Content
Our company specializes in the recycling of waste organic solvents. The batch of material we have currently contains 12% dimethyl sulfoxide and 7% water; the remaining components are ethers and fats. From what I’ve researched, dimethyl sulfoxide is a weak oxidizing agent that can corrode iron in the presence of water. What substances are formed when dimethyl sulfoxide reacts with iron? Urgent, waiting online. Thank you
I don’t know; I only know that it corrodes iron and copper when it contains water.
Thank you; I also found this information. If a corrosivity test is to be conducted using the weighing method to measure the rate of iron corrosion, the time required is too long, so I want to know the amount of products formed as a result of the reaction
This post is now complete. Forums aren’t omnipotent either; dimethyl sulfoxide acts as a catalyst, and it reacts with water to produce iron hydroxide, which then dehydrates to form iron oxide.
