At 750–900 °C, wollastonite is the equilibrium Ca-silicate mineral for this composition. Wollastonite crystallizes euhedrally along clinopyroxene grain margins without mantling them . At temperatures >900 °C a peralkaline silicate melt forms through peritectic melting of augitic clinopyroxene to almost pure diopside.

One gram of the dried wollastonite and 1 g of 'new' wollastonite were combined and then mixed with a 5 mg/l phosphorus solution and the phosphorus concentration was monitored over 3 days. 2.2.

Abstract. Wollastonite, a calcium metasilicate mineral mined in upstate New York, is an ideal substrate for constructed wetland ecosystems for removing soluble phosphorus from secondary wastewater. Design parameters, required for designing a full-scale constructed wetland, were measured in vertical upflow columns with hydraulic …

Wollastonite-based brushite cement is prepared by mixing wollastonite with a phosphoric acid solution containing metallic cations and boric acid. This work investigates simplified systems comprising wollastonite and H 3 PO 4 solutions only, in order to clarify the influence of the H 3 PO 4 concentration, Ca/P and l/s ratios (this latter ...

Solid phase reaction synthesis of wollastonite-2 M by a natural rock precursor as the source of amorphous silica and CaCO 3 is reported. Chemical treatments were carried out on a diatomitic rock from Crotone (Calabria, Italy) in order to measure its reactive silica and CaCO 3 contents. Four series of synthesis were performed at 1000°C …

Materials and specimen preparation. The wollastonite-based binder was provided by Sulitec.
