Abstract

Hydrosilicate nanotubes of the variable composition (Mg,Fe,Co,Ni)3Si2O5(OH)4 with a chrysotile structure have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions at temperatures of 250–450°C and pressures of 30–100 MPa in media of different compositions. The conditions and ranges of formation of nanotubular hydrosilicates of the compositions under investigation have been determined. It has been demonstrated that the type of cation of the octahedral layer in the chrysotile structure has a decisive effect on the physicochemical conditions, mechanism, and rate of formation of nanotubes, as well as on their structure, morphology, and sizes.
