Chamotte is a refractory ceramic material used for lining stoves and furnaces. It has high percentage of silica and alumina. It is made by firing some kinds of fire clay. It tends to be porous and have low density. It is not a superior thermal insulator. It is similar to grog clay. ...more on Wikipedia about "Chamotte"

Lanthanum gallium silicate (refer to as LGS in the article), also known as langasite, has a chemical formula of , where A, B, C and D indicate particular cation sites. A is a decahedral (Thomson cube) site coordinated by 8 oxygen atoms. B is octahedral site coordinated by 6 oxygen atoms, and C and D are tetrahedral sites coordinated by 4 oxygen atoms. In this material, lanthanum occupied the A-sites, gallium the B, C and half of D-sites, and, silicon the other half of D-sites. The crystal structure is shown below: ...more on Wikipedia about "Lanthanum gallium silicate"
In chemistry, a silicate is a compound consisting of silicon and oxygen (SixOy), one or more metals, and possibly hydrogen. It is also used to denote the salts of silica or of one of the silicic acids. ...more on Wikipedia about "Silicate"
Silicic acid is a general name for a family of chemical compounds of silicon, hydrogen, and oxygen, with the general formula [SiOx(OH)4-2x]n. Some simple silicic acids have been identified in very dilute aqueous solution, such as metasilicic acid (H2SiO3), orthosilicic acid (H4SiO4), disilicic acid (H2Si2O5), and pyrosilicic acid (H6Si2O7); however in the solid state these probably condense to form polymeric silicic acids of complex structure. ...more on Wikipedia about "Silicic acid"

Ultramarine is a blue pigment consisting essentially of a double silicate of aluminium and sodium with some sulfides or sulfates, and occurring in nature as a proximate component of lapis lazuli. Also known in the past as azzurrum ultramarine, azzurrum transmarinum, azzuro oltramarino, azur d'Acre, pierre d'azur, Lazurstein. Current terminology for ultramarine include natural ultramarine (English), outremer lapis (French), Ultramarin echt (German), oltremare genuino (Italian), and ultramarino verdadero (Spanish). The pigment color code is P. Blue 29 77007. Ultramarine is the most complex of the mineral pigments, a complex sulfur-containing sodio- silicate (Na8-10Al6Si6O24S2-4), essentially a mineralized limestone containing a blue cubic mineral called lazurite. Some chloride is often present in the crystal lattice as well. The blue color of the pigment is due to the S3- radical anion, which contains an unpaired electron. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ultramarine"
