(1) The barrier near Bil'in runs into the occupied West Bank, surrounding the large and fast-growing Jewish settlement of Modiin Illit.
(2) The constitutive elements of the illite particles were also found in structures other than macrophages: Type I pneumocytes, interstitium, and blood platelets.
(3) Electron and x-ray diffraction showed the silicates to be muscovite mica and its hydrothermal degradation product, ie, illite clay.
(4) Illite particles captured by macrophages undergo a series of progressive modifications which affect their ultrastructure, crystalline state, and chemical composition.
(5) We found that samples of Mexicali dust are a mixture of approximately 75% potassium aluminum silicates (illite) and approximately 20% silica.
(6) ATV, montmorillonite and vermiculite, but not illite, protected cells from inhibition by nitrapyrin at concentrations inhibitory to cells growing in suspended culture.
(7) The progressive transformation of illite crystals in alveolar macrophages has been studied with x-ray microanalysis and electron microdiffraction.
(8) CFY rats were treated intratracheally on one occasion with 60 mg of DQ12 quartz, illite (aluminosilicate) and enargite (dead rocks of a metal mine) suspended in 1 ml physiological saline.
(9) For an individual isomer, the adsorption rates increase in the following sequence: Del Monte, sand, illite clay, Woodburn soil, and humic acid.
(10) Illite, a non-expanding clay with low CEC, had no significant effect on ammonia oxidation, while oxidation of ammonia-treated vermiculite (ATV) occurred with no significant change in the pH of the medium.
(11) More than sixty different compounds were identified, among which silica, kaolinite, illite, mica, Fe oxides and hydroxides, appeared to be ubiquitous.
(12) The presence of micaceous minerals or illitic clays does not significantly inhibit Cs uptake, either because of recycling in the organic surface horizons or because of clay-organic complex formation.
(13) To evaluate the distribution of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) between water and natural adsorbents, laboratory experiments were performed with 14C-labelled HCB, with quartz, kaolinite, illite, bentonite, peat, suspended particulate matter and activated sewage sludge as the natural adsorbents.
(14) The following crystalline phases were determined in the materials: kaolinite, illite, quartz, orthoclase and microline.
Iolite
Definition:
(n.) A silicate of alumina, iron, and magnesia, having a bright blue color and vitreous luster; cordierite. It is remarkable for its dichroism, and is also called dichroite.
