CHEMICAL METHODS OF ANALYSIS FOR CRYSTALLINE SILICA - A CRITICAL LITERATURE-REVIEW

This literature review addresses the significant chemical and physical methods that have been developed for the analysis of the environmenta lly or commercially significant polymorphs of crystalline silica: quar tz, cristobalite and tridymite. It is a brief summary of a more extens ive literature review of the chemical methods of analysis for crystall ine silica presented at the Chemical Manufacturers Association Crystal line Silica Panel Workshop on November 18, 1991 and their Internationa l Symposium in August 20-21, 1992.
