In this work, forsterite was synthesized by thermal treatment in chlorine of a periclase and silica gel mixture. Calcination assays were carried out in Cl 2 /N 2 and air atmospheres. The effects of temperature and reaction time on the reaction of synthesis were studied. The techniques used to characterize reagents and products were thermogravimetry ( TG ), differential thermal analysis ( DTA ), X‐ray diffraction ( XRD ), and X‐ray fluorescence ( XRF ). The experimental results showed that pure forsterite was obtained in Cl 2 /N 2 atmosphere at 700°C for 60 minutes, while in air forsterite and enstatite were partially produced at 800°C for 60 minutes.
