NEW MODIFICATION OF WOLLASTONITE NEEDLE HABITUUS

The results of experimental and theoretical studies of a new polymorphic modification of wollastonite of the triclinic system, called transwollastonite, are presented. The characteristics of its crystal-physical and crystal-chemical properties, features of its genesis and areas of application, including breakthrough nanotechnologies, are given. In order for the country to participate in the inevitable modernization of the main sectors of the economy, it is proposed to study the experience of Japan and begin to implement the scientific results of Tomsk universities in the field of physical geochemistry and geoecology.
