RESUMO
Guatemala is another jade commercial origin in addition to the Myanmar. The Guatemalan jade is usually an assemblage of a variety of mineral compositions, and the mineral composition is unique and different from the Myanmar jade. The characteristics of the structures and paragenetic minerals of the purple and gray-green jade from Guatemala were studied by laser Raman spectroscopy analysis. The results show that the jadeite is a major constituent mineral in Guatemala jade, associated by a variety of coexisting minerals. The paragenetic minerals in Guatemalan jade can be divided into five categories, including the dark minerals hornblende, dolomite, omphacite, chlorite, and light-colored mineral apatite. The hornblende, dolomite, omphacite and chlorite are also the paragenetic minerals in the Myanmar jade, but the apatite is almost invisible in the Myanmar jadeite.
RESUMO
A biological treatment technique for wool textile was carried out by enzymes degradation coupled with H2O2 oxidation. The results demonstrated that the technique had ideal effects on wool textile such as better softness, plump and less loss of bursting stress. Because of mild reaction conditions, less textile damage and less environmental pollution, this technique for wool textile treatment could have promising prospect.
