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
=Ssible identification.
