Abstract

Nanodisperse powder of magnesium meta- and ortho-silicates was obtained with the help of the solid-phase exchange reaction of magnesium chloride with sodium silicate (using NaOH or without it) proceeding under mechanical activation. The formation of enstatite and forsterite proceeds through the X-ray amorphous (or weakly crystallized) hydrated compound during the subsequent thermal treatment. A comparison with the known method of obtaining these silicates under mechanical activation of the mixtures of magnesium hydroxide and silica gel was carried out.
