Abstract

This work is a preliminary kinetic study of the crocidolite decomposition followed in situ at high temperature using real time conventional powder diffraction and DTA in the temperature range 720-795 °C. The data analysis using the Avrami models indicates that the rate limiting step of the reaction is monodimensional ion diffusion (n=0.5) with an activation energy of 129 (10) kcal/mole.
