Abstract
⺠High siliceous species solubility observed in Na silicate solution in basic medium (pH = 11.56) results from the formation of a Si7O18H4Na4 neutral complex. ⺠Si7O18H4Na4 species are gathered into aggregates in the intial solution. ⺠Charged species are formed by dilution due to the dissociation of neutral species. ⺠Dilution leads to increase colloids size by polycondensation reaction and to decrease the size of aggregates.
