WHAT DOES TORBERNITE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

torbernite

Torbernite

Torbernite, whose name derives from the Swedish chemist Torbern Bergman, is a radioactive, hydrated green copper uranyl phosphate mineral, found in granites and other uranium-bearing deposits as a secondary mineral. Torbernite is isostructural with the related uranium mineral, autunite. The chemical formula of torbernite is similar to that of autunite in which a Cu2+ cation replaces a Ca2+. The number of water hydration molecules can vary between 12 and 8, giving rise to the variety of metatorbernite when torbernite spontaneously dehydrates. Their respective chemical compositions are the following: Torbernite Cu22·12 H2O Metatorbernite Cu22·8 H2O Torbernite's most common alternative names are copper uranite and cupro-uranite.

Definition of torbernite in the English dictionary

The definition of torbernite in the dictionary is a green secondary mineral consisting of hydrated copper uranium phosphate in the form of square platelike crystals. Formula: Cu22.12H2O.
