Hematite
Definition:
(n.) An important ore of iron, the sesquioxide, so called because of the red color of the powder. It occurs in splendent rhombohedral crystals, and in massive and earthy forms; -- the last called red ocher. Called also specular iron, oligist iron, rhombohedral iron ore, and bloodstone. See Brown hematite, under Brown.
Example Sentences:
(1) The third aerosol, "gamma-oxide," has a MMAD of 0.73 micrometer and has crystalline subunits 0.2 micrometer in diameter; it is a magnetic form of hematite, gamma-Fe2O3.
(2) This case-control (case-referent) study concerns a worker population with high exposure to dust of iron oxides, particularly hematite, and with some impurities of pentavalent arsenic and other metals.
(3) The iron-oxides (superfine hematite) are eroded from the Peron Sandstone exposed in some coastal cliffs and constitute up to 2% of substrate sediments near these cliffs.
(4) Inside the molluscs, lower pH conditions cause reversal of the hematite charge and the cadmium is released and accumulated by the organism.
(5) These fungi were incubated with the following iron-containing minerals: augite, hornblende, biotite, magnetite, hematite, and the igneous rock granodiorite.

(8) In a retrospective cohort mortality study of 10,403 Minnesota iron-ore (hematite) miners no excesses of lung cancer mortality were found among either underground (Standardized mortality ratio [SMR] = 100) or above ground (SMR = 88) miners.
(9) The "birdshot" hematite has a MMAD of 0.31 micrometer, but has a smaller surface area because the subunits are 0.03 micrometer in diameter.

(12) No direct link between the cadmium loads in molluscs and its concentration in the water or substrate sediment is evident, but the cadmium load in molluscs is usually highest where turbulence is high and the substrate sediment contains fine hematite.
(13) Iron oxides, particularly hematite, have been suspected for carcinogenic properties based on epidemiological observations and experimental data.
(14) This study reveals that cadmium in the water adsorbs extremely efficiently onto the surface of the hematite, which is negatively charged at the prevailing seawater pH of 8.15, and that suspended hematite particles are ingested by the molluscs.
