Kaolin polytypes revisitedab initio

Kaolin dust concentrations and pneumoconiosis at a kaolin mine.

Kaolin is removed from underground seams in the mining area to a processing area, where it is sliced, dried, and pulverised to make the finished product. A study was undertaken to determine the dust concentrations in various work areas and to assess the prevalence of radiographic and pulmonary function abnormalities in 65 workers at a Georgia kaolin mine. Respirable dust concentrations were hig...

Structure and polytypes in thallium superconductors

There have been a number of small contradictions in reports of the structure of the recently discovered thallium superconducting materials, in particular the phase TI,Ba,Ca,Cu,O,, hereafter abbreviated to 2223. The structure has been reported to be pseudo-tetragonal or 14/mmm with a c axis of 3.625, 3.61 or 3.59 nm, and an a axis of 0.54, 0.547 or 0.385 nm. We report here results obtained by hi...

Two new polytypes of 2,4,6-tri­bromo­benzo­nitrile

Three polymorphs of 2,4,6-tri-bromo-benzo-nitrile (RCN), C7H2Br3N, two of which are novel and one of which is a redetermination of the original structure first determined by Carter & Britton [(1972). Acta Cryst. B28, 945-950] are found to be polytypic. Each has a layer structure which differs only in the stacking of the layers. Each layer is composed of mol-ecules associated through C N⋯Br cont...

Serum Changes following Kaolin Injections

1. The intoxication produced by the intravenous injection of inert substances such as kaolin is due to protein split products derived from the serum proteins. 2. The kaolin acts as an adsorbing medium for the serum antiferment, bringing about an alteration in the ferment-antiferment balance. 3. The intoxication is accompanied by an increase in serum protease, and of proteoses. 4. The serum lipa...
