Abstract
In forsterite synthesis from highly disperse SiO2 (white soot or silica sol) and magnesium chloride, nitrate, sulfate, acetate, or citrate through sol-gel processing, with polyvinyl alcohol as a gel former, the reaction products are forsterite, magnesium oxide, silica, and clinoenstatite. From analysis of the synthesis products, we assess the relationship between the diffusion rates of the magnesium and silicon cations. Phase-pure forsterite can be obtained by reacting white soot and magnesium acetate.
