Zh. Liu et al., Studies on the Kinetics of Dissolution and Transformation of 2MgO center dot 2B(2)O(3)center dot MgCl2 center dot 14H(2)O in water at 60 degrees C, CHEM J CH U, 20(2), 1999, pp. 186-189
The kinetic of dissolution and transformation process of 2MgO . 2B(2)O(3) .
MgCl2 . 14H(2)O in water at 60 degrees C was studied. The solution samples
were taken at different time for chemical analysis. The solid phase at dif
ferent stages was separated and identified. The experimental results show t
hat 2MgO . 2B(2)O(3) . MgCl2 . 14H(2)O dissolved incongruently in water. Th
e misproduct is MgO . B2O3 . 4H(2)O and Mg(OH)(2). The final inversion prod
uct is pinnoite, MgO . B2O3 . 3H(2)O. The mechanism of dissolution and tran
sformation was proposed and discussed. The kinetic equations of dissolution
and crystallization were obtained.
