Abstract

Constant rate thermal analysis (CRTA) has been used for studying the decomposition of three synthetic needle-shaped goethite samples. This method controls the reaction temperature such that the reaction rate and partial pressure of water vapour are kept constant at a selected value. The effects of the pressure of water vapour generated during the dehydration of goethite and of the decomposition rate on the porosity of the resulting hematite have been studied. The effect of the particle size of the precursors on the texture of the final products has also been analysed. By this method, acicular particles of α-Fe2O3 with controlled porosity oriented along the c-lattice axis (the long axis of the particle) have been prepared.
