Silicon dioxide, also known as silica (from the Latin silex), is a chemical compound that is an oxide of silicon with the chemical formula SiO2. It has been known since ancient times. Silica is most commonly found in nature as quartz, as well as in various living organisms. In many parts of the world, silica is the major constituent of sand. Silica is one of the most complex and most abundant families of materials, existing both as several minerals and being produced synthetically. Notable examples include fused quartz, crystal, fumed silica, silica gel, and aerogels. Applications range from structural materials to microelectronics to components used in the food industry.
Silicon dioxide is mostly obtained by mining and purification of quartz. Quartz comprises more than 10% by mass of the earth's crust. This product will be suitable for many purposes while for others chemical processing will be required to make a purer or otherwise more suitable (e.g. more reactive or fine-grained) product.

A molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed to study the diffusion of an alkane molecule in siliceous zeolite beta, as a function of chain length and temperature. The alkane was modeled as a Lennard-Jones chain, and the simulation was carried out in the microcanonical ensemble. The results suggest that it is energetically favorable for the alkane chains to be within close proximity (~2 Å) of the zeolite lattice. However, the histogram data also show that shorter alkane chains are more likely to be found at farther distances (~4.5 Å) from the lattice atoms in the zeolite voids, compared to longer chains that experience more attractive interactions with the lattice and thus are confined to the small zeolite cages.
A pozzolan is a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material which, in itself, possesses little or no cementitious value but which will, in finely divided form and in the presence of water, react chemically with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperature to form compounds possessing cementitious properties. The broad definition of a pozzolan imparts no bearing on the origin of the material, only on its capability of reacting with calcium hydroxide and water. A quantification of this capability is comprised in the term pozzolanic activity. Pozzolana are naturally-occurring pozzolans of volcanic origin. This video is targeted to blind users.

http://www.epictv.com/ Gritstone, known to scientists as siliceous sandstone and to its British climbing devotees as 'God's own rock' is fiendishly difficult to climb. It requires a special, extremely esoteric style that relies on good friction as well as a strong stomach for long run-outs, terrible protection, and horrendous falls. There's a reason they call a proclivity for this sort of climbing 'grit madness'. HARDXS follows four grit monkeys as they scare the living bejesus out of themselves on routes with names like "Appointment with Death" that are both difficult and desperately bold. Take a deep breath and click through, but beware, kids, this will either want to make you to climb grit, or keep you off it forever.

The ecological lime mortar paste Graphenstone for both exterior and interior environments, consist of a mixture of fat lime, obtained from the thermal limestone process in ancient wood stoves, quality (CL90) with crushed aggregate calcium carbonate (purity of 90%) addition, selected siliceous aggregates and inorganic pigments. Graphenstone lime based paste Mortars act as first regulation layer, in order to have more coarse aggregate without coloring. After it, one or two coats, depending on the finishing required, clear or color finish mortar lime paste is applied. Graphenstone lime based paste Mortars has properties that cannot be obtained naturally with cement or artificial lime. Only pure natural lime allows gas exchange between the inside and the outside of the house. These mortars, in...

A silhouette in the light
A face hidden beneath a bone veil
The winds sound like a distant voice
A wolf in sheep's clothing
A martyr beneath a mirror
Every whisper i hear
Every breath down the back of my neck
Senses can be fooled so easily
But this runs deeper
This is in my bones
Counting down the days
Dragging out the weight
Blurred lines evade the light
A wolf in sheep's clothing
A martyr's disguise
Every whisper i hear
Every breath down the back of my neck
Senses can be fooled so easily
But this runs deeper
This is in my bones
I could have sworn you lay in the ground
In my sight
Yet so far out of reach
Take this misery
Drown in with my memories
So they can never be found
Follow the river down
To where the waves break
I just watched the waters rise
