Samples were characterized using analytical scanning and transmission electron microscopy. After 10 min, muscovite is completely pseudomorphosed by Si-rich glass, spinel structure phases, and minor mullite. Spinel phases incorporate Zn, but their compositions depend on their position within the muscovite pseudomorphs. Al-rich oxides crystallize at the core of the pseudomorphs while Zn-Al spinels are located at the rims. The most Al-rich spinels have compositions close to γ-Al2O3, a metastable transition alumina, with up to 5 wt% MgO, 2 wt% Fe2O3, 4 wt% ZnO, and 9 wt% SiO2. The most Zn-rich spinels show compositions intermediate between Al2O3 and gahnite (ZnAl2O4), with up to 31 wt% ZnO and significant contents of MgO (3 wt%), Fe2O3 (5 wt%), and SiO2 (10 wt%). After 68 h, stable spinels are gahnite close to the end-member composition with MgO and Fe2O3 contents below ca. 5 wt%, and SiO2 contents ca. 1 wt%. These results support the existence of a metastable solid solution between γ-Al2O3 and gahnite. This experimental work shows that Zn can be incorporated in spinel structures after heating at 1175 °C during short durations and Zn is preferentially incorporated in the muscovite pseudomorphs as opposed to the Qtz-Fds glass. Consequently, the thermal breakdown of phyllosilicates can be a viable process to immobilize heavy metals such as Zn.Lire moins >
