تعريف vermiculite في الإنجليزية الإنجليزية القاموس.
A hydrated silicate mineral which expands on heating; it is used in insulation and as a medium for planting
{i} any of various hydrated silica minerals which expand into worm-like shapes when exposed to heat and are used for heat insulation and as medium for plant growing
a natural mineral which expands with the application of heat. It is formed by hydration of certain basaltic minerals; often found in association with asbestos
A highly charged, averages about 159 cmolckg-1 for soil vermiculites but has a very wide range, layer silicate of the 2: 1 type that is formed from mica It is characterized by adsorption preference for potassium, ammonium, and cesium over smaller exchange cations It may be di- or trioctahedral See also Appendix I, Table A3
An aggregate used in lightweight insulating concrete, formed by the heating and consequent expansion of a micaceous mineral
One off a group of micaceous hydrated silicate minerals related to the chlorites and used in lightweight insulating concrete
A mineral closely related to mica, with the faculty of expanding on heating to form lightweight material with insulation quality Used as bulk insulation and also as aggregate in insulating and acoustical plaster and in insulating concrete floors
Vermiculite is made from expanded mica, a mineral Vermiculite used as insulation is identical to the material found in garden centers Like perlite, it is generally no longer used for insulation, although again, it can still be found in existing houses
A light-weight, mineral called mica that is added to potting mixtures to improve root growth via aeration and has moisture retaining abilities
an aggregate used in lightweight insulating concrete, formed by the heating and consequent expansion of a micaceous material
A mineral used as bulk insulation and also as aggregate in insulating and acoustical plaster and in insulating concrete floors
Light, mica-like mineral added to potting compost to improve aeration and moisture retention
A lightweight aggregate closely related to mica, used as a loose fill insulation and also in some types of plaster work and concrete work for its insulating qualities
A hydrous silicate of magnesium or iron which is expanded by heating to produce a lightweight fire resistant insulation
They are hydrous silicates, derived generally from the alteration of some kind of mica
A mineral from the mica family which can be used as a heat insulator or mulch for plants
An expanded mica (hydrated magnesium-aluminum-iron silicate) used as sorbent for spill control and cleanup
an aggregate used in lightweight insulation concrete, formed by the heating and consequent expansion of a micaceous mineral
Mineral closely related to mica, with the faculty of expanding on heating to form lightweight material with insulation qualities Used as bulk insulation, also as aggregate in insulating and acoustical plaster, and in insulating concrete floors
When mica is exposed to very high heat is "pops" --or expands-- to form vermiculite Horticultural grade vermiculite is granular and is valued in potting mixes because it is relatively inert, but is porous and can hold water and nutrients well Vermiculite is generally preferred to the similar substance, perlite
is a light, mica-derived mineral added to potting mix to improve aeration and moisture retention
