WHAT DOES MULLITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

mullite

Mullite

Mullite or porcelainite is a rare silicate mineral of post-clay genesis. It can form two stoichiometric forms 3Al2O32SiO2 or 2Al2O3 SiO2. Unusually, mullite has no charge balancing cations present. As a result, there are three different Al sites: two distorted tetrahedral Al sites and one Al other site which adopts a higher co-ordinate octahedral state. Mullite was first described in 1924 for an occurrence on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. It occurs as argillaceous inclusions in volcanic rocks in the Isle of Mull, inclusions in sillimanite within a tonalite at Val Sissone, Italy and with emerylike rocks in Sithean Sluaigh, Scotland.

Definition of mullite in the English dictionary

The definition of mullite in the dictionary is a colourless mineral consisting of aluminium silicate in orthorhombic crystalline form: used as a refractory. Formula: Al6Si2O13.
