COMPOUNDS IDENTIFIED IN SLURRY

~

Analysis of the combined particles led to the following data:

PARTICLE INSOLUBLE SOLIDS

All compounds were identified by X-ray diffraction except Fe,0,

and NaCa(SiO,}, which were identified by electron diffraction;

2CaQ- Fe,03 was also observed in one sample by electron diffracfon. The presence of Cu in the Navajo sample was established
by X-ray diffraction. I indicates definite identification and PI
