Minerals that are compounds of oxygen together with another element.
Group of minerals that are compounds of one or more metallic elements combined with oxygen, water, or hydroxyl (OH). The oxide group contains the greatest variations of physical properties. Some are hard, some soft. Some have a metallic luster, others are clear and transparent. The Oxide group is divided into the Simple Oxides, Hydroxides, Multiple Oxides
Copper ores that are generally amenable to leaching and contain such copper-bearing minerals as chrysocolla, malachite, azurite, and others. These oxidized ores frequently occur above primary, secondary, and mixed sulfide zones.
Chemical compounds containing oxygen.
Gases containing (for our purposes) either nitrogen or sulfur combined with oxygen. The most common oxides contributing to pollution include nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2). Both types of gases are major air pollution contributors. Sources of pollution from oxides typically include smokestacks, exhaust, and sulfur-containing compounds.
One of the mineral chemical groups containing oxygen. Ex: bauxite, cuprite, and magnetite.
Applying metal oxides to the clay, mixing with water, you can create an effect of stained wood.
pigments derived from metallic oxides and used to decorate ceramic bodies and glazes. Pure metallic oxides include cobalt for blue, copper for green, iron for brown, manganese for purple, antimony for yellow and various other compounds to produce red and black. Metal-oxide pigments are called underglaze colours when painted over the glazed surface and refired. In-glaze pigments are painted onto the unfired tin-opacified lead-glazed ware, which fuse together during firing. Overglaze enamel colours provide the greatest range of colours because of their low-firing requirements.
