  2. Dolomite (mineral) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomite_(mineral)

    Unless it is in fine powder form, it does not rapidly dissolve or effervesce (fizz) in cold dilute hydrochloric acid as calcite does. [9] Crystal twinning is common. Solid solution exists between dolomite, the iron-dominant ankerite and the manganese-dominant kutnohorite. [10] Small amounts of iron in the structure give the crystals a yellow to ...

  3. Dolomite (rock) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomite_(rock)

    Dolomite (also known as dolomite rock, dolostone or dolomitic rock) is a sedimentary carbonate rock that contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite, CaMg(CO 3) 2. It occurs widely, often in association with limestone and evaporites , though it is less abundant than limestone and rare in Cenozoic rock beds (beds less than about 66 ...

    Brown or black can be used as a base color for copper patina. If the amount of chlorides decreases the color will be more bluish-green, if carbonate decreases, more yellow-[27] Black for copper. Solution of sodium polysulfide 2.5%, items must be submerged in the solution after color developing, wash, dry and wax or varnish colored object. [28]

    According to the FDA, tartrazine causes hives in fewer than 1 in 10,000 people, or 0.01%. [ 14 ] It is not clear how many individuals are sensitive or intolerant to tartrazine, but the University of Guelph estimates that it is 1 to 10 out of every ten thousand people (0.01% to 0.1% of the population).

  6. Acid mine drainage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_mine_drainage

    Yellow boy in a stream receiving acid drainage from surface coal mining. Water temperatures as high as 47 °C (117 °F) [9] have been measured underground at the Iron Mountain Mine, and the pH can be as low as −3.6. [10] Organisms which cause acid mine drainage can thrive in waters with pH very close to zero.

  7. Glass coloring and color marking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_coloring_and_color...

    Uranium (0.1 to 2%) can be added to give glass a fluorescent yellow or green color. [8] Uranium glass is typically not radioactive enough to be dangerous, but if ground into a powder, such as by polishing with sandpaper, and inhaled, it can be carcinogenic. When used with lead glass with very high proportion of lead, produces a deep red color.

  8. Soil color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_color

    Yellow soils may indicate iron accumulation as well, though in less oxygen-rich environments than red soils. [4] Jarosite accumulation can also create yellow soil color and may be found in salt marshes , sulfide ore deposits, acid mine tailings , and other acidic soils .

  9. Acid dye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_dye

    An acid dye is a dye that is typically applied to a textile at low pH. They are mainly used to dye wool, not cotton fabrics. [1] Some acid dyes are used as food colorants, [2] [3] and some can also be used to stain organelles in the medical field. Acid dyes are anionic, soluble in water and are essentially applied from acidic bath.
