In this work, phase pure forsterite (Mg2SiO4) powder was synthesized via solid-state method and heat treatment stage. X-ray diffraction analysis was conducted to investigate on the phase purity of forsterite powder. The synthesized powder were heat treated at 1200 oC for 1 min, 1 hour and 2 hours wi...
