As soon as Fe
++ extraction is started, the cubic structure formation can be detected in the residuals.
Observing the lattice parameter change, the more progresses the acid treating of orthorhombic Fayalite, the larger the a value becomes. The lattice parameter of the cubic structure also becomes larger with the progressing of the acid treatment and finally reaches a value (8.228 Å) of a little smaller than that of the cubic Fayalite spinel (8.234 Å). The spinel was prepared with the high pressure-high temperature apparatus at the Institute for Solid State Physics, Tokyo Univ. In the X-ray diffraction line set of the cubic structure, it lacks (222) and (331) lines of the spinel.
The cubic structure in the residues does not show any infra-red absorption.
Varying the concentration of the Fayalite constituents (Fe, Fe
2O
3, SiO
2), the quantity of the cubic structures after the acid treatment is compared. The maximum point to form the cubic structure is at the point of (Fe
0.99O)
2SiO
2.
To confirm the ionic state of Fe in the orthorhombic Fayalite and the cubic structure, the Mössbauer effect is observed. In the orthorhombic Fayalites spectrum, two peaks are observed. I.S. is 1.42 mm/sec and e.q.Q. is 2.87 mm/sec. It is concluded that in the orthorhombic Fayalite only Fe
++ exists. In the cubic structure containing residues, three peaks are observed. I.S. of one pair is 1.42 mm/sec and e.q.Q. is 2.87 mm/sec. It is quite equal to the state of the orthorhombic Fayalite’s iron. In the other pair, I.S. is 1.06 mm/sec and e.q.Q. is 2.01 mm/sec. Fe
++ in the other binding state is determined. Accordingly, in the cubic structure containing residues two states of Fe
++ are confirmed.
