Notes:
The reaction process to obtain CaZrO3/MgO specimens in the ZrO2–CaO–MgO system from two mixtures of natural and synthetic raw materials were analyzed by neutron thermodiffractometry; differential thermal analysis–thermogravimetry (DTA-TG) also was used. The results from the different techniques provided a complete description of the decomposition and reaction process in the samples and proved that high-temperature neutron diffraction is a powerful tool for analyzing in situ reactions up to 1250°C in both mixtures. In the present work, the evolution of the crystalline phases, the mechanism and temperature of formation of CaZrO3, and the activation energy were properly established in terms of the neutron thermodiffraction study.
