  • The process of transforming hydromagnesite to magnesite is analysed in the context of the theory of solvent-mediated transformations. A series of experiments at 120, 150 and 180ºC with different heating times was designed to determine, by powder X-ray diffraction, the amount of magnesite generated as a function of time. The aqueous-phase composition was monitored by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry and carbonate alkalimetry. From the analytical data, the evolution of saturation indexes with respect to both phases was determined using the geochemical code PHREEQC. Finally, two different methods were applied to obtain the activation energy of the process and a TTT (Temperature- Transformation-Time) graph was constructed to define suitable conditions in which to obtain magnesite.
