  2. Marble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble

    Marble is a metamorphic rock consisting of carbonate minerals (most commonly calcite (CaCO 3) or dolomite (CaMg (CO 3) 2) that have recrystallized under the influence of heat and pressure. [1] It has a crystalline texture, and is typically not foliated (layered), although there are exceptions. In geology, the term marble refers to metamorphosed ...

  3. Composite material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

    A black carbon fibre (used as a reinforcement component) compared to a human hair. Composites are formed by combining materials together to form an overall structure with properties that differ from that of the individual components. A composite material (also called a composition material or shortened to composite, which is the common name) is ...

  4. Aluminium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_sulfate

    Aluminium sulfate may be used as a deodorant, an astringent, or as a styptic for superficial shaving wounds. [citation needed] Aluminium sulfate is used as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles. It is a common vaccine adjuvant and works "by facilitating the slow release of antigen from the vaccine depot formed at the site of inoculation."

  5. Engineered stone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_stone

    Engineered stone. Engineered stone is a composite material made of crushed stone bound together by an adhesive to create a solid surface. The adhesive is most commonly polymer resin, with some newer versions using cement mix. This category includes engineered quartz (SiO 2), polymer concrete and engineered marble stone. [1]

  6. Chemical coloring of metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_coloring_of_metals

    Chemical coloring of metals is the process of changing the color of metal surfaces with different chemical solutions. The chemical coloring of metals can be split into three types: electroplating – coating the metal surface with another metal using electrolysis. patination – chemically reacting the metal surface to form a colored oxide or salt.

  7. Iron(III) sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(III)_sulfate

    Iron (III) sulfate (or ferric sulfate), is a family of inorganic compounds with the formula Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 (H 2 O) n. A variety of hydrates are known, including the most commonly encountered form of "ferric sulfate". Solutions are used in dyeing as a mordant, and as a coagulant for industrial wastes. Solutions of ferric sulfate are also used in ...

  8. Iron(II) sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron(II)_sulfate

    Iron(II) sulfate outside a titanium dioxide factory in Kaanaa, Pori, Finland. Upon dissolving in water, ferrous sulfates form the metal aquo complex [Fe(H 2 O) 6] 2+, which is an almost colorless, paramagnetic ion. On heating, iron(II) sulfate first loses its water of crystallization and the original green crystals are converted into a white ...

  9. Corundum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corundum

    Corundum is a crystalline form of aluminium oxide (Al 2 O 3) typically containing traces of iron, titanium, vanadium, and chromium. [3] [4] It is a rock-forming mineral.It is a naturally transparent material, but can have different colors depending on the presence of transition metal impurities in its crystalline structure. [7]
