Abstract

An understanding of the correlation between the durability under different corroding conditions and the corresponding structural variations of silicates, is highly essential for their proper utilization in modern technology. To achieve this, a sample of fibrous chain silicate (tremolite) was subjected to various mechanical and chemical treatments and the resulting samples were analysed by X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy. Several interesting results on chemical corrosion have been obtained. Attempts have been made to establish a correlation between these results with the X-ray diffraction data.
