O. Carp et al., PHYSICOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND NONISOTHERMAL DECOMPOSITION KINETICS OF A PRECURSOR (POLYNUCLEAR COORDINATION COMPOUND) OF MANGANESE FERRITE, Thermochimica acta, 243(1), 1994, pp. 43-50
The authors present their results concerning the possibility of using
a polynuclear coordination compound, FeFeMn)-Fe-II-Mn-III(C2O4)(2)(OH)
(3)(H2O)(3)].H2O, as a source for manganese ferrite. The polynuclear c
ompound synthesized by a forced hydrolysis has been characterized by c
hemical analysis, electronic and vibrational spectra, X-ray powder dif
fractometry, magnetic susceptibility measurements and thermal analysis
. This paper also presents a non-isothermal kinetic study of the decom
position steps. The non-isothermal kinetic parameters have been evalua
ted for the whole (alpha,t) curve as well as for its significant porti
ons.
