THERMAL STUDIES ON ASBESTOS: I. EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE AND TIME OF HEATING ON LOSS IN WEIGHT AND RESORPTION OF MOISTURE
Keyword(s):
Heating a chrysotile asbestos mill fibre has shown that in the approximate temperature range of 500 to 700 °C. the loss in weight depends on both the time and temperature. At other temperatures the loss is practically independent of the time.Prolonged heating at about 490 °C. expelled about 25%, and at 510 °C. about 50%, of the combined water. Complete dehydration occurred on prolonged heating at about 580 °C., but only above 700 °C. was the loss in weight rapid.On the basis of the data obtained on the resorption of moisture it is suggested that heating for half an hour at 215 °C. would be a more accurate and rapid method for determining free moisture than that commonly employed.
