Zirconia, ZrOj, is made from the natural hydrated mineral, or from zircon, a silicate. Silicon carbide and silicon nitride are made by reacting silicon with carbon or nitrogen. Although the basic chemistry is very simple, the processes are complicated by the need for careful quality control, and the goal of producing fine (<1 jiva) powders which, almost always, lead to a better final product. 

In a fully synthetic oil, there is almost certainly some mineral oil present. The chemical components used to manufacture the additive package and the viscosity index improver (VI) contain mineral oil. When all these aspects are considered, it is possible for a "fully synthetic" engine oil to surpass mineral oil (Shubkin, 1993). Synthetic oils fall into general ASTM classification (a) synthetic hydrocarbons (poly-a-olefins, alkylated aromatics, cycloaliphatics) (b) organic esters (dibasic acid esters, polyol esters, polyesters) (c) other fluids (polyalkylene glycols, phosphate esters, silicates, silicones, polyphenyl esters, fluorocarbons). 

Silica nanoparticles are commonly prepared by polymerization of appropriate precursors such as silicates, silicon alkoxides, or chlorides (Fig. 11.2).2 Besides the industrial methods, which rely mainly on condensation of sodium silicate in water induced by sodium removal through ion exchange, three different synthetic methods are currently used in research labs to prepare silica nanoparticles loaded with organic molecules. In the first method, proposed by Kolbe in 1956s and developed by Stober and coworkers in the late 1960s,6 the particles are formed via hydrolysis and... 

In the silicates, the tetrahedral SiCU units are either isolated or share corners with other tetrahedra, giving rise to an enormous variety of structures. In many silicates, silicon may be replaced to a certain extent by other elements, such as aluminium, so the structures of silicates are further extended to cover cases where such partial substitution occurs.

The hyperbolic description implies that to a reasonable approximation, tetrahedral water, silicate, silicon and germanium frameworks are characterised by a preferred area per vertex group and a preferred Gaussian curvature. Thus, identical tessellations of isometric surfaces, with equal areas and curvatures at corresponding points on the surface, should offer alternative possibilities for stable frameworks. Indeed this is the case for the zeolite frameworks, faujasite and analcime, which are related to each other through the Bonnet transformation. Within an intrinsic two-dimensional description, these two frameworks are indistinguishable. We have seen in section 2.6 that the Bonnet transformation describes well a number of characteristics of the fee -> bcc martensitic phase transformation in metals and alloys. The success of this model suggests that the hyperbolic picture, intuitive and obvious for zeolites, is also valid for other atomic structures. 

Bccau.se almost all of the earth s crust is silicon dioxide or silicates, silicon and oxygen make up over 95% of the crust and mantle. Only about two dozen elements occur with a frequency of one atom per iO.COO atoms of silicon these are consid.ered "abundant" or "relatively abundant."...

Silicate Modifications. A method has been described in which silicate minerals are simultaneously acid-leached and trimethylsilyl end-blocked to yield specific trimethylsilyl silicates having the same silicate structure as the mineral from which these were derived (12). Olivine, hemimorphite, sodalite, natrolite, laumontite, and sodium silicates are converted to TMS derivatives of orthosilicates, pyrosilicates, cyclic polysilicates, etc, making it possible to classify the minerals according to their silicate structure. The same technique is used to analyze the siloxanol structure of aqueous solutions of vinyltrimethoxysilane (13). Certain anionic siliconates stabilize solutions of alkali silicates to give stable solutions in water or alcohols at any pH (14). Such silicate—siliconate mixtures are used as corrosion inhibitors in glycol antifreeze (15) (see Antifreezes and deicing fluids Corrosion and CORROSION CONTROL).
