WHAT DOES BROOKITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

brookite

Brookite

Brookite is orthorhombic, and one of the four naturally occurring polymorphs of titanium dioxide, TiO2, approved by the International Mineralogical Association. The others are akaogiite, anatase and rutile. Brookite is rare compared to anatase and rutile and, like these forms, it exhibits photocatalytic activity. Brookite has a larger cell volume than either anatase or rutile, with 8 TiO2 groups per unit cell, compared with 4 for anatase and 2 for rutile. Iron Fe, tantalum Ta and niobium Nb are common impurities. It was named in 1825 for Henry James Brooke, an English crystallographer, mineralogist and wool trader. Arkansite is a variety of brookite from Arkansas, USA, that is also found in the Murunskii Massif, in the Eastern Siberian region of Russia, where many other unusual minerals occur. At temperatures above about 750 °C, brookite will revert to the rutile structure.

Definition of brookite in the English dictionary

The definition of brookite in the dictionary is a reddish-brown to black mineral consisting of titanium oxide in orthorhombic crystalline form: occurs in silica veins. Formula: TiO2.
