About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The Mineral Economics of the Carbonate Rocks

In most carbonate rocks, the Al; content amounts to about 20 percent of the silica content, giving a rough test of the accuracy of the analysis. Alumina is seldom critical unless resent in large amounts and is commonly useful in t e cement industry. P820} or total iron is a harmful component in the lass, filler, and some chemical industries. For some 0 these uses, the iron content must not exceed a few hundredths of a percent or, at most, one or two-tenths of a percent. In these low concentrations, most anal tical methods are relatively less accurate than in higher concentra tions; and, for these purposes, the iron content should be carefully rechecked.
