Prehnite
Prehnite is an inosilicate of calcium and aluminium with the formula: Ca2Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 with limited Fe3+ substitutes for aluminium in the structure. Prehnite crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system, and most often forms as stalactitic, botryoidal, reniform or globular aggregates, with only just the crests of small crystals showing any faces, which are almost always curved or composite. Very rarely will it form distinct, well-individualized crystals showing a square-like cross-section, including those found at the Jeffrey Mine in Asbestos, Quebec, Canada. Prehnite is brittle with an uneven fracture and a vitreous to pearly luster. Its hardness is 6.5, its specific gravity is 2.80–2.95 and its color varies from light green to yellow, but also colorless, blue, pink or white. In April 2000, rare orange prehnite was discovered in the Kalahari Manganese Fields, South Africa. Prehnite is mostly translucent, and rarely transparent. Though not a zeolite, prehnite is found ...

Brookite
Brookite is the Orthorhombic crystal system, orthorhombic variant of titanium dioxide (TiO2), which occurs in four known natural Polymorphism (materials science), polymorphic forms (minerals with the same composition but different structure). The other three of these forms are akaogiite (Monoclinic crystal system, monoclinic), anatase (Tetragonal crystal system, tetragonal) and rutile (Tetragonal crystal system, tetragonal). Brookite is rare compared to anatase and rutile and, like these forms, it exhibits Photocatalysis, photocatalytic activity. Brookite also has a larger Crystal structure, cell volume than either anatase or rutile, with 8 TiO2 groups per unit cell, compared with 4 for anatase and 2 for rutile.Anatase and Brookite .

Anatase
Anatase is a metastable mineral form of titanium dioxide (TiO2) with a Tetragonal crystal system, tetragonal crystal structure. Although colorless or white when pure, anatase in nature is usually a black solid due to impurities. Three other Polymorphism (materials science), polymorphs (or mineral forms) of titanium dioxide are known to occur naturally: brookite, akaogiite, and rutile, with rutile being the most common and most Chemical stability, stable of the bunch. Anatase is formed at relatively low temperatures and found in minor concentrations in Igneous rock, igneous and Metamorphic rock, metamorphic rocks. Glass coated with a thin film of TiO2 shows Anti-fog, antifogging and Self-cleaning surfaces, self-cleaning properties under ultraviolet radiation. Anatase is always found as small, isolated, and sharply developed crystals, and like rutile, it crystallizes in a Tetragonal crystal system, tetragonal system. Anatase is metastable at all temperatures and pressures, with ru ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alif Ailaan
Alif Ailaan () was a nonprofit organization working in the field of education in Pakistan from 2013 to 2018. Launched by a team of media and communications specialists, the program aimed to highlight education on priority basis in Pakistan and make the masses aware of the importance of education. It ran campaigns in print, on radio and television, and on social media for awareness of the masses about education. The program conducts seminars and surveys and publishes the highly cited district education rankings report. It also monitored the performance of parliamentarians in reforming education in their constituencies. Working in the four provinces of Pakistan as well as Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan and the formerly Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Alif Ailaan identified the weak spots in education through research and aimed to assist decision makers in creating and implementing better education policies.
