	Silicate Structures, Olivines, Garnets, & Aluminosilicates
		In order to discuss the silicates and their structures it is first necessary to remember that the way atoms are packed together or coordinated by larger anions, like oxygen depends on the radius ratio of the cation to the anion, Rx/Rz.
		Thus, this group is often referred to as the island silicate group.
		In this case the basic structural group is Si The micas, clay minerals, chlorite, talc, and serpentine minerals are all based on this structure.

	Ethyl Silicate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		At concentrations of 3,000 ppm, ethyl silicate causes extreme and intolerable irritation of the eyes and mucous membranes; at 1,200 ppm, it produces tearing of the eyes; at 700 ppm, it causes mild stinging of the eyes and nose; and at 250 ppm, it produces slight irritation of the eyes and nose [Hathaway et al.
		Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to ethyl silicate, a licensed health care professional should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks.
		Keep ethyl silicate out of a confined a space, such as a sewer, because of the possibility of an explosion, unless the sewer is designed to prevent the build-up of explosive concentrations.

	Silicate Summary
		Silicates in which the tetrahedra share three corners are called phyllosilicates or sheet silicates, because they tend to cleave into thin sheets.
		Silicate minerals can be derived from the quartz, tridymite, and crystoballite structures by replacing a subset of the silicon ions with ions of a lower charge, together with placing other cations in places between tetrahedra to achieve overall neutrality.
		In geology and astronomy, the term silicate is used to denote a type of rock that consists predominately of silicate minerals.

	Silicate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chemistry, a silicate is a compound containing an anion in which one or more central silicon atoms are surrounded by electronegative ligands.
		Silicate anions, with a negative net electrical charge, must have that charge balanced by other cations to make an electrically neutral compound.
		In geology and astronomy, the term silicate is used to denote types of rock that consists predominantly of silicate minerals.

	Liquid Sodium Silicate Core Binder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Sodium Silicate is used as the binder that "glues" the sand together in cores.
		There are numerous core binders available, but sodium silicate has a distinct advantage because the cores can be made at room temperature, not baked in ovens like most of the other types.
		The object is to push the gas thru the core from one end to the other, and activate the sodium silicate to bind the sand.

	Silicate Mineral Paint - the only truly Breathable Paint on the Market
		The single most important property is silicate paint's breathablility or, in technical terms, water vapour permeance of 77 US perms which is about equal to house-wraps like Tyvek® and over 100 times as permeable as a 2-coat latex paint.
		This means that Silicate Dispersion Paintis great for uses such as finishing of mineral-surfaces such as interior and exterior concrete, masonry, stucco and drywall, especially on walls where the breathability of the whole wall system could be ruined by an impermeable paint, such as in strawbale and adobe housing construction.
		Silicate Paints imported from Europe have been used on the exterior of buildings such as the White House and the Empire State Building in New York.

	Silicate Classification
		Nearly all silicate mineral species can be placed in one of 6 distinctive structural groups based on the manner of polymerization or association of silica tetrahedral units.
		As we consider the 6 silicate structural groups, we will find that the complexity of silica tetrahedral polymerization follows in the same order as the Bowen reaction series-the order of crystallization of primary silicate minerals from solid solution igneous magma during cooling from high to low temperatures.
		In general, silicate mineral stability is related to the degree of polymerization of Si tetrahedra.

	PSRD:: Silicate Stardust in Meteorites (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The relative abundances of presolar silicates in different types of meteorites will help cosmochemists understand the processes of heating and chemical reaction that took place in the cloud of gas and dust in which the Sun and planets formed.
		Silicates are not resistant to acids, so were lost during the process.
		Most important for the hunt for presolar silicates is the ability to raster the beam over a region packed with hundreds or thousands of grains, allowing automatic measurements of a large number of grains in a relatively short time.

	silicate
		Pyroxenes are single chain silicates, with chains of linked tetrahedra extending in one direction through the structure; amphiboles are similar but have double chains of tetrahedra.
		In micas, which are sheet silicates, the tetrahedra are joined to form continuous sheets that are stacked upon one another.
		Framework silicates, such as feldspars and quartz, are based on three-dimensional frameworks of tetrahedra in which all oxygens are shared.

	Silicate carbon stars as seen by ISO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Because silicate dust is normally formed and observed in the oxygen-rich environment, the origin of the silicate emission in these stars has been a big puzzle as well as the evolution of these stars, since their first discovery by the IRAS/LRS (Willems and de Jong 1986; Little-Marenin 1986).
		These objects show prominent crystalline silicate features in the 30 micron region, in contrast to the ``traditional'' silicate carbon stars in which 10 and 18 micron amorphous silicate bands are dominant.
