Kinetic schemes of chemical transformations and particle morphology upon interaction between Ln2(SO4)3 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm) and hydrogen
文摘
The phase compositions of samples obtained during the treatment of anhydrous sulfates Ln2(SO4)3 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm) in a stream with an excess of hydrogen in the temperature range of 400 to 1100掳C at exposures of up to 420 min are determined. Kinetic schemes are compiled for the chemical transformations and changes of phase composition of the mixtures in coordinates of temperature and time that have six fields of the phase combinations: Ln2(SO4)3, Ln2(SO4)3 + Ln2O2SO4, Ln2O2SO4, Ln2O2SO4 + Ln2O2S, Ln2O2S, and Ln2O2S + Ln2O3. Single-phase samples of Ln2O2SO4 compounds are obtained at temperatures (掳C) of 540鈥?60 (La), 460鈥?20 (Pr), 470鈥?20 (Nd), and 480鈥?20 (Sm). The temperatures (掳C) of Ln2O2S compounds are 580鈥?20 (La), 600鈥?00 (Pr), 600鈥?00 (Nd), and 600鈥?00 (Sm). It is shown via electron microscopy that particles of La2(SO4)3 in the shape of cylinders are converted into flakes of Ln2O2SO4, predominantly flat Ln2O2S crystallites.
