Abstract

A process has been developed to produce high surface area Ca2SiO4 and Sr2SiO4 powders using colloidal silica for the silicon precursor. This method was relatively straightforward and avoided the use of precipitation techniques and unstable alkoxides. Calcium carbonate and strontium carbonate were identified as intermediate compounds, and the silicates appeared to form by a low-temperature solid-state reaction. The effect of resin content and calcination conditions on the phase distribution and physical properties of the powders was examined. Finally, the sodium content of the colloidal silica was found to have a significant effect on the phase stability of β-Ca2SiO4 after calcination at 1400°C.
