Solid solutions of stilbite and epistilbite

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

Analysis of the empirical compositions of stilbite-Ca and epistilbite from various occurrences has shown that these solid solutions differ primarily in the mole fraction of water in their compositions. A comparative analysis of different structural models of stilbite (C2/m, F 2/m (42℃), and Amma (168℃)) revealed no fundamental distinctions between the structural frameworks of the zeolite. Analysis of the structures of stilbite (F 2/m (42℃), Amma (168℃)), and epistilbite (C2/m) provided insight as the changes in a water content in the zeolite at the stilbite-epistilbite phase transition and the transformation of structure were related among themselves.
