Abstract

The crystallization behaviors of stoichiometric feldspar gels and glassesbefore and after seeding have been compared, and the role of epitaxy intheir crystallization upon seeding has been studied. The crystallizationproducts were mainly determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis andepitaxy upon seeding was examined with a scanning electron microscope (SEM),and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). It was found that uponisostructural seeding, Na-and K-feldspars crystallized epitaxially fromtheir gels and/or glasses. Little or no seeding effect was found in CaAl2Si2O8 and SrAl2Si2O8 gels and glasses.Isostructural seeding in BaAl2Si2O8 gelsincreased the formation of Ba-feldspar (monoclinic celsian) epitaxially,whereas without seeding hexacelsian was the crystallization product.
