Dutch term or phrase: waterijzer; ijzerslib
As far as I know this is the same as: Iron(III) oxide-hydroxide

see: http://www.reststoffenunie.com/data/upload/files/veiligheids...

Just don't know what it's called in English.

My context:

'In ons streven naar een duurzame waterwinning en -productie doen we doorlopend onderzoek naar het hergebruik van reststoffen zoals kalkpellets en waterijzer.'
