One type, however, known as a pallasite meteorite is very different. They are made of olive-green crystals that are composed ...

Magnesium silicate hydrate cement (MSHC), as an innovative low-carbon cementitious material, is considered a potential substitute for ordinary Portland cement (OPC). However, uncertainties in the ...

Food safety officials have suspended the FSSAI license of a KFC unit in Thoothukudi in Tamil Nadu following the alleged use of magnesium silicate-synthetic for purifying used oil, which is illegal.

Using high-powered lasers, scientists have discovered that molten magnesium silicate undergoes a phase change in the liquid state, abruptly transforming to a more dense liquid with increasing ...

A 25-year-long study provides the first quantitative measurement of in situ calcium-magnesium silicate mineral dissolution by ants, termites, tree roots, and bare ground. This study reveals that ...

The scientists found that pure amorphous magnesium silicate is nearly as dense as crystalline bridgmanite. It would likely be even denser, however, deep in Earth where iron would chemically ...

Kanan and his colleague Yuxuan Chen, also at Stanford University, have developed a way to produce magnesium oxide and calcium silicate using a process inspired by cement production.

The scientists also exposed the wet samples of calcium silicate and magnesium oxide directly to air, which has a much lower concentration of CO2 than pure CO2 from a tank.

When heated, the minerals exchange ions and become magnesium oxide and calcium silicate, two alkaline minerals that quickly react to acidic CO 2 in the air. “The process acts as a multiplier ...

The US Food and Drug Administration is seeking information about the health risks of talc, or hydrous magnesium silicate, in food and drugs. Manufacturers voluntarily removed the common mineral ...
