Ferrocene can be used as a rocket fuel additive, an antiknock agent for gasoline, a curing agent for rubber and silicone resin, and a UV absorber. The vinyl derivatives of ferrocene can undergo ethylenic polymerization to obtain metal-containing high polymers with carbon chain skeletons, which can be used as outer coatings for spacecraft. The effect of ferrocene on smoke and combustion was discovered earlier, and it can be added to solid fuels, liquid fuels or gas fuels. Significantly. Its addition in gasoline has a very good anti-vibration effect, but it is limited due to the deposition of iron oxide on the spark plug to affect ignition. For this reason, some people use iron discharge mixtures to reduce the deposition of iron. When ferrocene is added to kerosene or diesel, since the engine does not need an ignition device, it has less adverse effects. In addition to eliminating smoke and supporting combustion, it also has the effect of promoting the conversion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. In addition, it can increase combustion heat and power during combustion to achieve the effect of energy saving and air pollution reduction. Ferrocene is added to boiler fuel oil to reduce smoke generation and nozzle carbon deposition. Adding 0.1% to diesel can eliminate 30-70% of smoke, save 10-14% of fuel, and increase power by 10%. The use of ferrocene in solid rocket fuel is more reported, and it is even mixed with pulverized coal as a smoke decelerator. When using polymer waste as fuel, adding ferrocene can reduce smoke several times, and can also be used as a smoke reducing additive for plastics. In addition to the above-mentioned uses, ferrocene has other applications. As iron fertilizer, it is beneficial to plant absorption, the growth rate increases the iron content of crops, and its derivatives can be used as pesticides. There are also many uses of ferrocene in industry and organic synthesis. For example, its derivatives can be used as antioxidants for rubber or polyethylene, stabilizers for polyurea esters, catalysts for methylation of isobutylene, and polymer peroxides. As a decomposition catalyst, it can increase the yield of para-chlorotoluene in the chlorination of toluene, and in other respects, it can be used as an anti-load additive for lubricating oil, accelerator for abrasive materials, etc.
