โœฆ Synopsis

The precipitation of zeolite, sodalite and cancrinite and subsequent phase transformations were investigated under a variety of conditions in sodium aluminate liquor. At sufficiently high SiO 2 relative supersaturation, amorphous sodium aluminosilicate and zeolite precipitated at temperatures as high as 160ยฐC. They subsequently transformed to sodalite and finally to cancrinite. Thus the sequence of the transformation of phases is:

[Aluminosilicate species] Amorphous phase Zeolite (Linde A) Sodalite Cancrinite.

It was found that sodalite did not transform to cancrinite in the absence of a liquid medium. The transformation of sodalite to cancrinite was demonstrated to involve a solution-mediated mechanism with sodalite dissolution and subsequent cancrinite precipitation. Neither the amorphous phase nor the zeolite phase precipitates at typical spent Bayer liquor SiO 2 supersaturation.

Amorphization of crystalline compounds using mesoporous media is a promising technique to improve the solubility and dissolution rate of poorly soluble compounds. The objective of this paper is to determine the capacity of amorphization and understand the mechanisms of phase transformation. Commerci
