Low temperature production of wollastonite from limestone and silica sand through solid-state reaction

Wollastonite was produced using solid-state reaction from limestone and silica sand. Limestone containing a high percentage of CaO (55.10%) and silica sand with 99% SiO2 were used as starting materials. The ratios of limestone/sand used were 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 with various firing temperatures, namely...
