COMPOUNDS IDENTIFIED IN SLURRYPARTICLE INSOLUBLE SOLIDS
All compounds were identified by X-ray diffraction except Fe,03
and NaCa(SiO,), which were identified by electron diffraction;
2CaO- Fe,0, was also observed in one sample by electron diffraction,
The presence of Cu in the Navajo sample was established
by X-ray diffraction. I indicates definite identification and Pl
