Welcome to our product page for Uniform-grain Pyrite Fine Pyrite Powder. This high-quality mineral product features stable performance and uniform particle size, widely used in various industrial fields.
Product Overview
Our Uniform-grain Pyrite Fine Pyrite Powder, also called “fool’s gold” for its golden metallic luster, has the chemical formula FeS₂. Processed via professional crushing, grinding and sieving, it ensures uniform particle size, high purity and no impurities. Its fine powder form enables easy mixing and use, while uniform grains guarantee consistent performance, solving quality unevenness issues of traditional pyrite powder.
With stable physical and chemical properties, it is insoluble in water, acids and bases, with a Mohs hardness of 6-6.5 and specific gravity of 5.02, suitable for long-term storage and harsh industrial environments, providing reliable support for industrial production and chemical synthesis.
Key Features
Uniform Grain Size: Strictly controlled particle distribution, no agglomeration, ensuring consistent performance and avoiding unevenness from size differences.
High Purity: Selected raw materials with multiple purification processes, purity 85%-99.5% (customizable), reducing impurity impact on production.
Stable Performance: Retains natural properties, with excellent thermal stability (melting point 1177°C, boiling point 2200°C), semiconducting and paramagnetic behavior for complex working conditions.
Easy to Use: Fine powder with good fluidity, easy to mix, transport and store, improving production efficiency.
Wide Application: Versatile for multiple industrial fields, meeting diverse industry needs.
Compliance with Standards: Meets ISO 3104, ASTM C 97/C 204, ensuring international quality and safety.

Application Fields
Our uniform-grain fine pyrite powder is widely used in metallurgy, chemical, construction, new energy and other fields, leveraging its unique properties in various production processes:
Metallurgy Industry: Key raw material for sulfur/iron extraction, used in steel and alloy manufacturing; sulfur improves alloy machinability and corrosion resistance for automotive/aerospace industries.
Chemical Industry: Core raw material for sulfuric acid production; also used as a catalyst in hydrogenation and desulfurization reactions.
Construction Industry: Aggregate for concrete/asphalt, enhancing material strength and durability; also used for decorative purposes with its golden luster.
New Energy & Electronics: Used in solar cells, thermoelectric devices and battery cathodes due to semiconducting properties (band gap 0.95 eV); also as a mineral detector.
Other Fields: Soil amendment for alkaline soil; jewelry/decorative materials; refractory materials for high-temperature applications.
Safety & Handling Instructions
Follow these safety precautions when using our pyrite powder to ensure personal safety and product performance:
Wear protective equipment (gloves, masks, goggles) to avoid skin/eye contact or powder inhalation.
Finely divided powder is flammable and may ignite spontaneously; store away from open flames, high temperatures and oxidants in a cool, dry place.
Avoid mixing with strong acids/bases to prevent chemical reactions.
Rinse skin with plenty of water if contacted; rinse eyes for 15 minutes and seek medical help if needed.
Store in sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption/agglomeration; keep away from children and pets.
Refer to the MSDS for detailed safety information before use.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Common questions about our product to help you understand better:
Q1: What’s the difference between pyrite powder and marcasite? A1: Same chemical composition (FeS₂) but different crystal structures (pyrite: cubic; marcasite: orthorhombic) and slight differences in luster/hardness.
Q2: Is your pyrite powder magnetic? A2: No, but it has paramagnetic behavior (weakly attracted to magnetic fields, not magnetizable).
Q3: Can particle size and purity be customized? A3: Yes, particle size (20-325 Mesh) and purity (85%-99.5%) are customizable; contact us for details.
Q4: What’s the shelf life? A4: 12 months under proper storage (dry, ventilated, sealed); do not use if damp/agglomerated after expiration.
Q5: Environmental impact? A5: No pollution with proper use; we select raw materials from eco-friendly mines to minimize mining impact.
Q6: Can it be used in jewelry making? A6: Yes, pyrite pieces are often set in silver to make marcasite jewelry with unique aesthetics.
Q7: How is it packaged and transported? A7: Moisture-proof bags (25kg/500kg/1000kg, customizable); transport by sea/land/air, avoiding moisture and collision.
Q8: Does it meet international standards? A8: Yes, it meets ISO 3104, ASTM C 97/C 204 and passes relevant inspections for international markets.
