Okiside y'icyuma nikintu gikoreshwa cyane muburyo budasanzwe hamwe nibintu bikurikira: Imiterere yumubiri: Okiside yicyuma mubisanzwe iba ikomeye kandi iza mumabara atandukanye, nkumutuku (Fe2O3), umuhondo (α-Fe2O3), umukara (Fe3O4), n'umuhondo (FeO). Bafite ibyuma bitandukanye bya kristu hamwe nibikoresho bya lattice. Magnetisme: Fe3O4 (ubutare bwa magnetique) muri okiside yicyuma yerekana magnetisme igaragara kandi ifite imiterere ihindagurika yubushyuhe bwo hejuru. Ibi bituma ikoreshwa cyane mubice nkibikoresho bya magneti hamwe nibitangazamakuru bifata amajwi. Imiterere yimiti: Okiside yicyuma nikintu kidashobora gukama amazi hamwe nubushakashatsi buhanitse. Irwanya cyane aside na alkalis. Guhindura amabara: Okiside ya fer muburyo butandukanye muri rusange ifite ibara ryiza rihamye, bigatuma ikoreshwa cyane mubice bya pigment, amabara n'amabara. Ibikoresho byiza: Okiside yicyuma irashobora gukurura no kwerekana urumuri mumurongo ugaragara, bigatuma ikoreshwa mugutegura ibikoresho bya optique, pigment na catalizator. Ubushyuhe bwumuriro: Okiside ya fer ifite ituze ryinshi ryumuriro kandi irashobora kugumana ituze ryimiterere yumubiri na chimique mubushyuhe bwinshi. Muri rusange, okiside ya fer ifite ibintu bitandukanye nibintu bitandukanye bikoreshwa cyane mubice byinshi, nka siyanse yibikoresho, imiti ya farumasi, kurengera ibidukikije, nibindi. Gukoresha byihariye biterwa nubwoko nuburyo bwa okiside yicyuma ikoreshwa.
