Abstract

Water vapour atmospheres are known to raise the temperature of the endothermic reaction of clay minerals in differential thermal analyses. In isothermal kinetic studies of dehydroxylation, it is shown that a stationary state is attained depending on the operating temperature. The rate of dehydroxylation is a function of specimen size and shape, which suggests a controlling influence by entrapped water vapour. Even at constant reaction temperatures, the rate of dehydroxylation varies greatly between the interior and the exterior of a specimen. The bearing of these results on thermal analyses and on kinetic studies generally is discussed.
