EFFECTS OF HEAT ON ALUMINIUM SILICATE

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

The greatest heat evaluation was observed for andalusite followed by kyanite and sillimanite. Sillimanite is the most stable form of these minerals. All of them become instable on heating to a white heat. They are then transformed into a new silicate, 3Al2O3.2SiO2 which is called mullite, and a glassy melt.
Mullite is the most stable aluminum […]
