X-Ray Study of the Thermal Decomposition of Dolomite

THE thermal decomposition of dolomite has repeatedly been investigated; but the mechanism of this reaction still remains obscure. Some authors suppose that solid solutions of carbonates are formed during decomposition 1 , others assume primary dissociation into separate carbonates 2 or into oxides 3...

Description
Summary:THE thermal decomposition of dolomite has repeatedly been investigated; but the mechanism of this reaction still remains obscure. Some authors suppose that solid solutions of carbonates are formed during decomposition 1 , others assume primary dissociation into separate carbonates 2 or into oxides 3 of magnesium and calcium. However, the fact that thermal decomposition takes place in the two stages (i) and (ii) has been generally established.
