Ferrous metasilicate, FeSiO3
Ferrous metasilicate, FeSiO3, has been prepared by fusing the calculated quantities of ferric oxide and silica at 1600° C. Density, 3.44. It melts at 1500°-1550° C.
The heat of formation of ferrous metasilicate is: - [FeCO3] + [SiO2] = [FeSiO3] + (CO2) -7600 calories. [FeO] + [SiO2] = [FeSiO3] + 5000 calories (5905 calories). Double metasilicates of magnesium and iron occur as the minerals hypersthene and anthophyllite (Mg, Fe)SiO3. A sodium ferrous metasilicate, NaFe(SiO3)2, occurs as dark brown or green prisms in quartz under the name of acmite or cegirite, and a crystalline substance of similar composition has been prepared by Weyberg by fusing silicic acid, ferric hydroxide, and sodium carbonate with excess of sodium chloride. The potassium analogue KFe(SiO3)2 has been prepared, but does not apparently occur in nature. Crystals of ferrous manganese metasilicate (Fe, Mn)SiO3, or iron rhodonite, have been obtained from Bessemer slags. They belong to the triclinic system, and closely resemble crystals of the mineral. |
