<p>This thesis describes a kinetic study of the high temperature solid state reactions of a well characterized halloysite mineral and five of its cation-saturated forms, the cations used being sodium, calcium, manganese, copper and iron (Ill). The reaction sequence may be represented by the idealised equations: The formation of mullite from metakaolinite has been studied in the temperature range 1020° - 1200°C, by X-ray analysis. Comparison of the experimental data with several theoretical models suggests that up to 90% conversion the reaction takes place by exponential nucleation followed by crystal growth. There is, however, some evidence for diffusion occurring as a rate controlling process, especially at high degrees of conversion to mullite. The rate constants and experimental thermodynamic functions have been evaluated for all halloysite samples. The free energies of activation (111-128 k cal.mole-1) and the rate constants are independent of the starting materials, but the enthalpies of activation (51-118 k cal.mole-1) and the entropies of activation (0 to -50 cal.deg.-1 mole-1) are not.</p>

Three isostructural transition-metal arsenides and germanides, namely niobium nickel arsenide, Nb0.92(1)NiAs, niobium cobalt arsenide, NbCoAs, and niobium nickel germanide, NbNiGe, were obtained as inadvertent side products of high-temperature reactions in sealed niobium containers. In addition to reporting for the very first time the structures of the title compounds, refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, this article also serves as a reminder that niobium containers may not be suitable for the synthesis of ternary arsenides and germanides by traditional high-temperature reactions. Synthetic work involving alkali or alkaline-earth metals, transition or early post-transition metals, and elements from groups 14 or 15 under such conditions may yield Nb-containing products, which at times could be the major products of such reactions.

Abstract Single crystals of Ba2Ti3+Cr2Oi3 were prepared by C02-LASER high temperature reactions and investigated by X-ray work. The compound crystallizes with monocli­nic symmetry, a = 15.0185, b = 3.9419, c = 9.0764 Å. β = 98.137°, Z = 2. Ba2Ti4Cr2O13 is isotypic to Na2Ti6O13. The crystal structure is discussed with respect to ordered or disordered distributions of Ti4+ and Cr3+ using calculations of Coulomb terms of lattice energy. It is shown, that the stability of this structure type will be decre­ased by replacement of Na+ by ions with higher oxidation states.

The clinkerization processes to form belite clinkers, with theoretical compositions close to 60 wt% of Ca2SiO4, have been studiedin situby high-resolution high-energy (λ = 0.30 Å) synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. In order to obtain active belite cements, different amounts of K2O, Na2O and SO3have been added. The existence range of the high-temperature phases has been established and, furthermore, Rietveld quantitative phase analyses at high temperature have been performed for all patterns. The following high-temperature reactions have been investigated: (i) polymorphic transformations of dicalcium silicate, \alpha_{\rm L}'-Ca2SiO4↔ \alpha_{\rm H}'-Ca2SiO4from 1170 to 1230 K, and \alpha_{\rm H}'-Ca2SiO4↔ α-Ca2SiO4from 1500 to 1600 K; (ii) melting of the aluminates phases, Ca3Al2O6and Ca4(Al2Fe2)O10, above ∼1570 K; and (iii) reaction of Ca2SiO4with CaO to yield Ca3SiO5above ∼1550 K. Moreover, in all the studied compositions the temperature of the polymorphic transformation \alpha_{\rm H}'-Ca2SiO4↔ α-Ca2SiO4has decreased with the addition of activators. Finally, active belite clinkers were produced as the final samples contained α-belite phases.

Single crystals of (I) Ba3CeRu2O9, (II) Ba3SmRu2O9, (III) Ba3DyRu2O9, (IV) Ba3ErRu2O9 and (V) Ba3Ti2 4Ru0,6O9 have been prepared by high temperature solid state reactions. The compounds were examined by X-ray techniques. They crystallize with hexagonal symmetry, space group D46h-P63/mmc with (I): a = 5.8738(7), c = 14.585(4); (II): a = 5.9137(5), c = 14.651(2); (III): a = 5.8805(5), c = 14.506(1); (IV): a = 5.8737(9), c = 14.470(3); (V): a = 5.7265(6), c = 14.006(2) Å, Z = 2. The crystal structures belong to the 6 L-perovskite type. Calculations of the Coulomb terms of the lattice energy led to the valence states (I): CeIV/RuIV and (II)-(IV): LnIII,/RuIV/V. (V) shows a partial statistic distribution of TiIV and RuIV.

X-ray powder diffraction data for a rhombohedral AlPt phase formed by self-propagating, high-temperature reactions of Al∕Pt bi-layer films are reported. Multilayer Al∕Pt thin film samples, reacted in air or vacuum, transformed into rhombohedral AlPt with space group R-3(148). Indexing and lattice parameter refinement of AlPt powders (generated from thin-film samples) yielded trigonal/hexagonal unit-cell lattice parameters of a=15.623(6) Å and c=5.305(2) Å, Z=39, and V=1121.5 Å3.

ABSTRACTCast Mo-Mo3Si intermetallic composites develop microcracks after annealing at high temperature. Neutron diffraction, x-ray diffraction, composition analysis, and scanning electron microscopy have been used to characterize the structural changes induced by annealing of Mo-Mo3Si. It is shown that the observed cracking cannot be attributed to differential thermal stresses that developed on cooling from the annealing temperature. Instead, the experimental data suggest that the cracks were initiated at high temperature, possibly due to diffusion of Si atoms from supersaturated α-Mo to Mo3Si.

The failure of burner muffles in shell gasifiers has been a common problem, which directly leads to unexpected shutdown in operation of the gasifier and huge economic losses for the factory. Therefore, the experiment of the failure analysis to the burner muffle was conducted in the current work. The microstructure of the burner muffle after failure was measured by means of optical microscope, SEM (scanning electro-microscope) and X-ray diffraction. The reason of failure was obtained based on the analysis of experimental data together with the structural study of the gasifier. It is indicated that the failure of burner muffle is accounted for slag overflow and “backfire”, which lead to local temperature increasing. Cooling water tubes of Burner muffle were partially melted due to oxidation and sulphidation at high temperature, resulting into water leaks.
