could someone please state the uses and application of such substance? if there's no actual uses of Fe(OH)2, at least give the chemical formula of which Fe(OH)2 can be produced. looks like a lot of extra infomation is needed here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.79.186.57 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Why should anyone care about iron(II) hydroxide?

I notice someone removed the importance tag without actually adding anything important. The uses section is not a stub, it is empty. E-M-P-T-Y. Could someone please add any reason at all why anyone should care about this compound? —Keenan Pepper 15:32, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

You're right, I did some other repair work earlier today, I have now also reinserted the importance tag, and removed the not too filled uses section. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Okay. I'll try to do some research today and find out what this stuff is good fer. —Keenan Pepper 15:54, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Early Earth's oceans

The earths oceans may have a lot of iron hydroxide in them, because the comets or asteroid that contain water mixed with iron. As a result, Earth's early oceans may have a greenish color, until the iron banded formation removed most of the iron to form rock.

For one thing, this needs a source, and for another the grammar is so bad I'm afraid I'll misinterpret it if I try to correct it. What time period is this talking about? Is "iron banded formation" the same as banded iron formation? —Keenan Pepper 22:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
