Popis: | A kinetic, morphological, and structural study has been made of the half-calcination process in BCR 1337 dolomite stones. The investigation covered the temperature range 640 to 800/sup 0/C in 40% CO/sub 2/ to 60% He and 100% CO/sub 2/ at 1-atm pressure. Certain morphological features which can have a bearing on subsequent sulfation kinetics have been examined. At the lower temperature, the calcite crystals are large and exhibit relic structures of the original dolomite crystals. As the half-calcination temperature increases, the calcite crystals within the relic grains become increasingly smaller and more randomly oriented until at 800/sup 0/C the randomization is almost complete. The calcite crystals exhibit disorder but show the onset of annealing at 800/sup 0/C after a 1-h heating period. Sulfation experiments on half-calcined stones containing small and large calcite crystals as well as those showing some annealing indicate that the kinetics are dependent to some extent on crystal size (surface area) and disorder. 12 figures. |
