The sulphoaluminate of strontium, Sr 4 Al 6 O 12 SO 4 , was synthesized by solid state reaction from mixture of SrCO 3 , Al 2 O 3 and SrSO 4 (3:3:1 molar ratio) as pellets. The kinetics of formation has been studied in the range of temperature between 850°C and 1100°C using quantitative X-ray powder diffraction data (XRD) analysis. Likewise, at room temperature, the crystal structure was determined from conventional X-ray powder diffraction data using direct methods and it was refined by the Rietveld method. The kinetics mechanisms that showed the best fit, were identified as geometrical contraction at grain boundary (R 1.1 ) and nucleation and growing by energy law (P 1.1 ). The activation energy values obtained were 145.47KJmol -1 (R 1.1 ) and 151.35KJmol -1 (P 1.1 ), respectively. The resulting crystal structure was orthorhombic type (a: 13.32802Å, b: 13.34430Å and c: 9.38704Å). The observed adjustment parameters were R B : 0.0985, R wp : 0.137, R p : 0.0925 and Chi 2 : 1.94.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
