B(2)O(3) content in sintered magnesium oxide obtained from seawater

The effect of TiO(2) concentration (1, 2, and 5 mass %) on the reduction of B(2)O(3) content has been studied during isothermal and activated sintering of seawater-derived magnesium oxide at 1550, 1650 and 1750 degree C for 1, 3 and 5 h. Magnesium oxide is obtained from seawater by precipitation wit...

Summary:The effect of TiO(2) concentration (1, 2, and 5 mass %) on the reduction of B(2)O(3) content has been studied during isothermal and activated sintering of seawater-derived magnesium oxide at 1550, 1650 and 1750 degree C for 1, 3 and 5 h. Magnesium oxide is obtained from seawater by precipitation with 80% and 120% of the stoichiometric quantity of the dolomite lime as the precipitation agent. The results indicate that the addition of TiO(2) has a significant effect and it also greatly affects the evaporation of B(2)O(3). The thermodynamic analysis of experimental results, based on Onsager phenomenological postulates, has established the relations of mutual influence of simultaneous irreversible processes, i.e. reactions of the formation of Ca(2)B(2)O(5) and CaTiO(2), during isothermal and activated sintering of seawater-derived magnesium oxide.
