Extract

In 1937 G. Nagelschmidt described a new silicophosphate mineral obtained from basic slag. It resembled the earlier described silicocarnotite (A. Carnot and A. Richard, 1883; D. P. Riley and E. R. Segnit, 1949) in its solubility in citric acid. Nagelschmidt gave optical, chemical, and X-ray data which indicated that the material had a composition of approximately 7CaO.P2O5.2SiO2, and agreed closely with a phase reported by G. Trömel (1943) in his investigation of the system CaO-P2O5-SiO2. The material was further considered by M. A. Bredig (1941), who published cell dimensions worked out from powder photographs, assuming that nagelschmidtite was a solid solution of tricalcium phosphate in a predicted high-temperature hexagonal form of dicalcium silicate. R. L. Barrett and W. J. McCaughey (1942) gave further data, chiefly connected with phase relationships in the binary system Ca2SiO4-Ca3P2O8. Finally, S. O. Agrell (1946) published further data on the slag mineral, giving the chemical analyses and optical properties of two samples, together with a discussion of the phase relationships of the material in slags, and hence in the binary system mentioned above. The name 'nagelschmidtite' is due to Barrett and McCaughey.
