What is the composition of quartz stone plates
May 08, 2021
The quartz stone plate is composed of modified resin and crushed stone, which is neutral or slightly alkaline. Artificial stone has a dense structure, so the pores are small, and the probability of its symptoms is small. As far as protection is concerned, it is mainly antifouling. The advantage is that the color can be adjusted, which is conducive to the decoration of the surface. The disadvantage is that the hardness is not enough and the luminosity is inconsistent.
The main component of quartz stone plates is quartz. Quartz is a mineral that can easily become liquid when heated or under pressure. It is also a very common rock-forming mineral, which is found in the three major types of rocks. Because it crystallizes late in igneous rocks, it usually lacks a complete crystal face and is mostly filled with other rock-forming minerals that crystallized first. The composition of quartz is simple silicon dioxide (sio2), glassy luster, no cleavage surface, but a shell-shaped fracture. Microcrystalline quartz is called chalcedony, agate or jasper. Pure quartz is colorless, but it shows a different color because it often contains impurities of transition elements.
Quartz is very stable, not easy to weather or change into other kinds of minerals. Silicon is located in the fourth group of the periodic table. It is widely distributed in the earth's crust. It occupies the second place in the order of the abundance distribution of all elements, second only to oxygen. Silicon is also a typical oxygen-philic element, which is mainly combined with oxygen to form a silicon-oxygen tetrahedron. SiO4 stirs 4 to produce different silicate minerals by combining silicon oxygen tetrahedrons in various forms. Silicates account for more than 80% of gem minerals, and silicon is also distributed in the form of free silicon oxygen-SiO2. It occupies an important position and has very good stability. It is a common and main rock-forming mineral in nature. It is also a kind of gemstone with a large number and scope in the jewelry industry. The gemstone with SiO2 as the main component has a wide variety of characteristics. different.
