What's the difference between nepheline and plagioclase?

Nepheline


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Nephelite

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Addition of the "nepheline coagulant" in an amount of 1 to 2 per cent (by the weight) to the fermentation broth markedly increased the rate of the fermentation broth filtration.
  • (2) The use of the "nepheline coagulant" in an amount of 1 to 3 per cent (by the weight) of the volume of the oleandomycin fermentation broth provided butyl acetate extraction of the antibiotic without formation of stable emulsion.
  • (3) It was shown that "nepheline coagulant"--Al2 (SO4)3-18H2O was effective in coagulating the admixtures in oleandomycin fermentation broth.

Plagioclase


Definition:

  • (n.) A general term used of any triclinic feldspar. See the Note under Feldspar.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Quantitative analysis by IR, XRD, and visible spectrophotometry requires a preliminary phosphoric acid digestion of the ash sample to remove the plagioclase silicate material which interferes with the determination by these methods.
