  2. Silica cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silica_cycle

    The formation of silicate clays removes reactive silica from the pore waters of sediment, increasing the concentration of silica found in the rocks that form in these locations. [ 18 ] Silicate weathering also appears to be a dominant process in deeper methanogenic sediments, whereas reverse weathering is more common in surface sediments, but ...

  3. Silicate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicate

    The cyclic metasilicate ring Si 6 O 12− 18 is a hexamer of SiO 3 2-. Polymeric silicate anions of can exist also as long chains. In single-chain silicates, which are a type of inosilicate, tetrahedra link to form a chain by sharing two oxygen atoms each. A common mineral in this group is pyroxene. Double chain tetrahedra.

  4. Zirsilite- (Ce) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirsilite-(Ce)

    Zirsilite-(Ce) is a very rare mineral of the eudialyte group, with formula (Na, ) 12 (Ce,Na) 3 Ca 6 Mn 3 Zr 3 NbSi(Si 9 O 27) 2 (Si 3 O 9) 2 O(OH) 3 (CO 3)·H 2 O. [2] [3] The original formula was extended to show the presence of cyclic silicate groups and the presence of silicon at the M4 site, according to the nomenclature of the eudialyte group. [4]

  5. Metasilicate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasilicate

    Idealized structure of sodium metasilicate. Metasilicates are silicates containing ions of empirical formula SiO 2− 3. Common stoichiometries include M I 2 SiO 3 and M II SiO 3. Metasilicates can be cyclic, usually the hexamer (SiO 3) 12− 6 or chains (SiO 3)n 2−. [1] Common compounds containing metasilicate anion are: Inosilicates

  7. Jimthompsonite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimthompsonite

    Jimthompsonite is a magnesium iron silicate mineral with chemical formula (Mg,Fe 2+) 5 Si 6 O 16 (OH) 2. It is a triple chain silicate (or inosilicate) along with clinojimthompsonite and chesterite. They were described in 1977 by Burham and Veblen.

  8. Silicate mineral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicate_mineral

    Lithium aluminium silicate mineral spodumene. Silicate minerals are rock-forming minerals made up of silicate groups. They are the largest and most important class of minerals and make up approximately 90 percent of Earth's crust. [1] [2] [3] In mineralogy, silica (silicon dioxide, SiO 2) is usually considered a silicate mineral rather than an ...

  9. Lawsonite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawsonite

    Lawsonite is a metamorphic silicate mineral related chemically and structurally to the epidote group of minerals. It is close to the ideal composition of CaAl 2 Si 2 O 7 (OH) 2 ·H 2 O giving it a close chemical composition with anorthite CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 (its anhydrous equivalent), yet lawsonite has greater density and a different Al coordination (Comodi et al., 1996).
