Abstract

In the paper the formation of zinc orthosilicate polymorphic modifications, namely, β-Zn2SiO4 and -Zn2SiO4, has been investigated during the heat treatment of the intermediants precipitated via the interaction between hydrosilica gel which is derived from serpentine minerals (Mg(Fe))6[Si4O10](OH)8, sodium hydroxide NaOH and zinc chloride ZnCl2 in aqueous medium. It has been revealed that the crystallization of β-Zn2SiO4 and -Zn2SiO4 in the formed intermediates proceeds differently depending on the conditions of the initial reagents stirring performed in air at ambient pressure.
