单词 talc
释义
talc

Chemistry
  • A white or pale-green mineral form of magnesium silicate, Mg3Si4O10(OH)2, crystallizing in the triclinic system. It forms as a secondary mineral by alteration of magnesium-rich olivines, pyroxenes, and amphiboles of ultrabasic rocks. It is soaplike to touch and very soft, having a hardness of 1 on the Mohs scale. Massive fine-grained talc is known as soapstone or steatite. Talc in powdered form is used as a lubricant, as a filler in paper, paints, and rubber, and in cosmetics, ceramics, and French chalk. It occurs chiefly in the USA, Russia, France, and Japan.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • A member of the 2:1 phyllosilicates (sheet silicates) with composition Mg6[Si4O10]2(OH)4; sp. gr. 2.58–2.83; hardness 1 (it has the lowest hardness on Mohs’s scale of hardness); monoclinic; rare crystals are tabular, often massive; white to green; cleavage perfect {001}; massive talc (soapstone or steatite) can be formed during the low-grade metamorphism of siliceous dolomites; and as a secondary mineral during hydrothermal alteration of ultrabasic igneous rocks along shear planes. It is associated with serpentization with serpentine changing to talc and magnetite by addition of CO2. It is used extensively as a mineral filler.
