Abstract
The kinetics of decomposition ofα-goethite were investigated, under vacuum conditions, in the temperature range 170–250° C. The experimental thermogravimetric traces were interpreted according to the shrinking core model for cylindrical particles. The Arrhenius plot of InK (kinetic constant) against 1/T yielded an activation energy of 119±9 kJ mol−1 at 210° C. The highest specific area,S BET=118.4±5.5 m2 g−1, of the reaction productα-hematite, was obtained by decompsition at 225° C. Information about the formation of micropores and their evolution with temperature was also obtained.
