Abstract
Structural changes in diopside, CaMgSi2O6, and wollastonite, CaSiO3, upon prolonged (up to 84 h) grinding in a mechanic agate mortar under environmental conditions were studied. X-ray phase analysis and specific surface measurements were used to show that the stage of amorphization of the starting substances under mechanical treatment is followed by the formation of a partially ordered phase whose reflexes correspond to reflexes of α-quartz. Possible mechanisms of the structural transformations were discussed.
