Question

which types of iron is known as 'bog iron' ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Bog iron ore, Iron ore consisting of hydrated iron oxide minerals such as limonite and goethite formed by precipitation of groundwater flowing into wetlands.

Answer 2

Answer:

symbol of iron Fe

Bog iron is a form of impure iron or gangue  deposit that develops in bogs like big chunky rock  or swamps by the chemical oxidation  of iron carried in solution.  bog ores consist primarily of iron oxyhydroxides, commonly goethite (FeO(OH)).

Explanation:

. Bog iron deposits occur at a number of localities in the Pocomoke River basin (Singewald, 1911). The most extensive deposits are situated along Nassawango Creek northwest of Snow Hill, a town on the Pocomoke River.

Iron ore consisting of hydrated iron oxide minerals such as limonite , formed by precipitation of groundwater flowing into wetlands. Bacterial action contributes to formation of the ore. Economically useful deposits can regrow within 20 years after harvesting.

Due to its easy accessibility and reducibility, bog iron was commonly used for early iron production. Early metallurgists identified bog-iron deposits by indicators such as withered grass, a wet environment, hygrophilous grass-dominated vegetation, and reddish-brown solutions or depositions in nearby waters.
