  2. Precipitated silica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitated_silica

    Precipitated silica is an amorphous form of silica (silicon dioxide, SiO 2); it is a white, powdery material. Precipitated silica is produced by precipitation from a solution containing silicate salts. The three main classes of amorphous silica are pyrogenic silica, precipitated silica and silica gel.

  3. Hydrated silica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrated_silica

    Hydrated silica is a primary ingredient in modern toothpastes, serving as a high performance abrasive during cleaning. [1]Hydrated silica is a form of silicon dioxide, which has a variable amount of water in the formula.

    Structure of the orthosilicate anion SiO 4− 4. A silicate is any member of a family of polyatomic anions consisting of silicon and oxygen, usually with the general formula [SiO (4-2x)− 4−x] n, where 0 ≤ x < 2. The family includes orthosilicate SiO 4− 4 (x = 0), metasilicate SiO 2− 3 (x = 1), and pyrosilicate Si 2 O 6− 7 (x = 0.5 ...

  5. Silicon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_dioxide

    The molecular SiO 2 has a linear structure like CO 2. It has been produced by combining silicon monoxide (SiO) with oxygen in an argon matrix. The dimeric silicon dioxide, (SiO 2) 2 has been obtained by reacting O 2 with matrix isolated dimeric silicon monoxide, (Si 2 O 2). In dimeric silicon dioxide there are two oxygen atoms bridging between ...

  6. Hydrophobic silica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobic_silica

    The exhibited hydrophobicity is a result of the chemical reaction occurring between the silica particles and the TMCS. When the original SiO 2-OH groups are replaced with hydrolytically stable Si(CH 3) groups, this hydrophobicity occurs due to the prevention of the silica particles from interacting with water. [8]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicate_mineral

    Silicate anions ([SiO 2+n] 2n−) are invariably colorless, or when crushed to a fine powder, white. The colors of silicate minerals arise from the metal component, commonly iron. The colors of silicate minerals arise from the metal component, commonly iron.

    2 O) x · SiO 2 + x H 2 O. Sodium silicates can also be obtained by dissolving silica SiO 2 (whose melting point is 1713 °C) in molten sodium carbonate (that melts with decomposition at 851 °C): [17] x Na 2 CO 3 + SiO 2 → (Na 2 O) x · SiO 2 + CO 2. The material can be obtained also from sodium sulfate (melting point 884 °C) with carbon as ...

    2 SiO and benzophenone, Ph 2 CO, although he also stressed the lack of chemical resemblance due to the polymeric structure of Ph 2 SiO, which is not shared by Ph 2 CO. [25] Silicones may be considered analogous to mineral silicates, in which the methyl groups of the silicones correspond to the isoelectronic < O − of the silicates. [25]
