The effect of alkali halides on the crystallization of amorphous silica powders has been investigated. Normally crystallization does not occur below 1000°C, but in the presence of about 20% by weight of lithium chloride, α-quartz forms within 2 h at 700°C. In the presence of sodium and potassium salts, α-cristobalite forms at about 800 to 850°C. It appears that quartz is formed in the presence of the lithium salt because Li+can enter the quartz lattice, whereas Na+and K+can penetrate the more expanded polymorphic form, cristobalite. It is possible that the cations are accompanied by oxide ions in all cases to maintain electrical neutrality. Limited penetration of the amorphous particles is sufficient to nucleate the new phase. Other properties of silica products treated with salts are reviewed.
