1997年12月5日 Asbestos minerals are divided into two major categories: serpentine and amphibole asbestos. The fibrous-asbestiform variety of serpentine is called chrysotile. Chrysotile and amphibole asbestos are both silicates sharing fibrous-asbestiform crystal habits but holding very different structural units at a molecular scale ( Whittaker, 1956 ;

2021年5月16日 The term asbestos refers to a group of serpentine (chrysotile) and amphibole (amosite, crocidolite, anthophyllite, tremolite and actinolite) minerals with a fibrous habit. Their chemical-physical properties make them one of the most important inorganic materials for industrial purposes and technological applications.
