greensand (soil) (sand, <soil by composition or origin>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Consists largely of glauconite, a greenish granular mineral containing up to 25% iron, with a large percentage of silica and some potash and aluminum, used especially as a water softener and as a source of potash. |

Dutch ..... Bestaat grotendeels uit glauconiet, een groenachtig, korrelig mineraal dat tot 25% ijzer kan bevatten, met een hoog percentage aan silica en wat kaliumcarbonaat en aluminium; wordt vooral gebruikt als waterverzachter en als bron voor kaliumcarbonaat. |
Spanish ..... Mineral granular verdoso compuesto fundamentalmente de glauconita. Contiene hasta 25% de hierro, un alto porcentaje de sílice y algo de potasio y aluminio, utilizada fundamentalmente como ablandadora de agua y como fuente de potasio.
