An experimental investigation was made involving the synthesis of nepheline (NaAlSiO4) under varying conditions of temperature and water pressure 2022-2130 for each synthesized charge was obtained using x-ray diffraction methods. It was found that the results of the individual runs provided an erratic lattice parameter variation with temperature in the range 500 to 800 degrees Celsius. However, a least squares curve indicates that no change in lattice parameters in the low-nepheline polymorph occurs with temperature of formation, for 95 percent probability. / Thesis / Master of Science (MS)
