Electron-microscopic study of the porous structure of magnesium hydroxide and its changes under thermal treatment

Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    Using the electron-microscope method of carbon replicas, a study was made of the porous structure of a starting uniformly large-pored magnesium hydroxide sample, calcined at 200°, and of the magnesium oxide specimens obtained from it by calcination at 1000 and 1400°.

  2. 2.

    The skeleton of magnesium hydroxide has a corpuscular structure and is composed of plate-like crystallite. The plate-like character of the skeleton particles of the original magnesium hydroxide was still retained at calcination temperatures up to 1000°. Calcination at 1400° led to a pronounced sintering of the skeleton.

  3. 3.

    Based on electron-microscopic data, an estimate was made of the specific surface area and dimensions of the pores of both original specimen and after calcination at 1000°. The obtained results are found to be in harmony with those obtained earlier by the adsorption method.
