Abstract

Stoichiometric CaAl2Si2O8 gels prepared by the Pechini process crystallize to triclinic anorthite via an intermediate, previously unknown pseudohexagonal phase. Hydrothermal treatment of this pseudohexagonal phase at 350 °C transforms it to hexagonal anorthite. These combined processes produce the hexagonal phase via a low-temperature, chemical route in contrast to the conventional high-temperature melting and crystallization method. Powder x-ray diffraction data and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of the hexagonal anorthite agree well with the published structure. They indicate a high degree of tetrahedral Si/Al ordering within the layers, but long-range disorder in the average structure due to (001) stacking faults present between the layers.
