SummarySynthetic mixtures of CaO and Fe2O3 fired in air at temperatures in the range 1180° C to 1240° C in some cases lost oxygen and formed ferrous-iron-bearing compounds. Samples after firing were examined by incident light microscopy and X-ray diffraction; new powder data are presented for the phases reported. In addition to α-Fe2O3, CaFe2O4, and Ca2Fe2O53. four distinct phases have been identified. These are and two forms of , described previously by Braun and Kwestroo (1960). The likely compositions of these phases are given.
