Abstract
The kinetics of the solid-solid reaction between barium carbonate and copper oxide to produce barium-copper oxide which is one of the precur sors in the synthesis of high temperature superconductor, yttrium-bari um-copper oxide, are studied using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The effect of temperature on conversion is evaluated between 825-925- degrees-C. The activation energy for the reaction is estimated to be 5 0.73 kcal/mol.
