   Cadmia/tuttia/tutty – probably zinc carbonate. Calamine – zinc carbonate. Calomel/horn quicksilver/horn mercury – mercury(I) chloride, a very poisonous purgative formed by subliming a mixture of mercuric chloride and metallic mercury, triturated in a mortar and heated in an iron pot. The crust formed on the lid was ground to powder and ...

3. Zinc carbonate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_carbonate

   Zinc carbonate is the inorganic compound with the formula ZnCO 3. It is a white solid that is insoluble in water. It exists in nature as the mineral smithsonite. It is prepared by treating cold solutions of zinc sulfate with potassium bicarbonate. Upon warming, it converts to basic zinc carbonate (Zn 5 (CO 3) 2 (OH) 6). [6]

   Zinc is a strong reducing agent with a standard redox potential of −0.76 V. Pure zinc tarnishes rapidly in air, rapidly forming a passive layer. The composition of this layer can be complex, but one constituent is probably basic zinc carbonate, Zn 5 (OH) 6 CO 3. [8] The reaction of zinc with water is slowed by this passive layer.

   Calcium carbonate powder accounts for 97% of the composition will bring white/opaque products more whiteness. So manufacturers can reduce the usage of white masterbatch. With a smaller percentage, calcium carbonate powder can be used for color products. In addition, it brings final plastic products a more bright and more glossy surface. [8]

6. Smithsonite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithsonite

   Smithsonite, also known as zinc spar, is the mineral form of zinc carbonate (Zn CO 3). Historically, smithsonite was identified with hemimorphite before it was realized that they were two different minerals. The two minerals are very similar in appearance and the term calamine has been used for both, leading to some confusion.

   Sherritt owns assets, which produce fertilizer products, primarily for sale in the Western Canadian market, and which provide some of the critical input requirements for the Fort Saskatchewan metals refinery. Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of nitrogen fertilizers, and of sulphate fertilizers produced directly or indirectly as a by ...

8. Cerussite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerussite

   A variety containing 7% of zinc carbonate, replacing lead carbonate, is known as iglesiasite, from Iglesias in Sardinia, where it is found. [5] The mineral may be readily recognized by its characteristic twinning, in conjunction with the adamantine lustre and high specific gravity. It dissolves with effervescence in dilute nitric acid.

9. Calamine (mineral) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calamine_(mineral)

   Calamine is a historic name for an ore of zinc. The name calamine was derived from lapis calaminaris, a Latin correption of Greek cadmia (καδμία), the old name for zinc ores in general. The name of the Belgian town of Kelmis, La Calamine in French, which was home to a zinc mine, comes from this.
