Extract

Thermal analysts have exploited the sensitivity of carbonate mineral decomposition to furnace atmosphere as a diagnostic tool for identifying and quantifying these minerals in mixtures and solid solutions (1-3). However, thermal analysis techniques alone cannot reveal information about the reaction products after each thermal event. In-situ high temperature x-ray diffraction is one technique that can identify these products. Using this technique, Kissinger et al. (4) identified the reaction products of the thermal decomposition of reagent grade FeCO3 (siderite) and MgCO3 (magnesite). However, the thermal behavior of analytical reagent grade carbonates differs from natural minerals (1). Milodowski and Morgan (5) used in-situ XRD to investigate the thermal behavior of the dolomite-ankerite series.
