Summary

A kinetic analysis is presented of the data of MacKenzie (1957) on the hydrothermal treatment of NaAlSi3O8 under isobaric, isothermal conditions in the temperature range 450° C. to 1000° C.

The analysis indicates the existence of a smeared polymorphic transformation in the temperature range around 600° C. The activation energy for the transformation is about 60 kcal. mole−1 and has been equated with the process of self-diffusion involved in Al-Si ordering in the structure. Some dry-heating experiments and the influence of varying water vapour pressure are discussed.
