Solid-State Transformations of Mayenite and Core-Shell Structures of C12A7@C Type at High Pressure, High Temperature Conditions
MATERIALS(2023)
Abstract
Calcium aluminate of a mayenite structure, 12CaO center dot 7Al(2)O(3) (C12A7), is widely applicable in many fields of modern science and technology. Therefore, its behavior under various experimental conditions is of special interest. The present research aimed to estimate the possible impact of the carbon shell in core-shell materials of C12A7@C type on the proceeding of solid-state reactions of mayenite with graphite and magnesium oxide under High Pressure, High Temperature (HPHT) conditions. The phase composition of the solid-state products formed at a pressure of 4 GPa and temperature of 1450 degrees C was studied. As is found, the interaction of mayenite with graphite under such conditions is accompanied by the formation of an aluminum-rich phase of the CaO center dot 6Al(2)O(3) composition, while in the case of core-shell structure (C12A7@C), the same interaction does not lead to the formation of such a single phase. For this system, a number of hardly identified calcium aluminate phases along with the carbide-like phrases have appeared. The main product of the interaction of mayenite and C12A7@C with MgO under HPHT conditions is the spinel phase Al2MgO4. This indicates that, in the case of the C12A7@C structure, the carbon shell is not able to prevent the interaction of the oxide mayenite core with magnesium oxide located outside the carbon shell. Nevertheless, the other solid-state products accompanying the spinel formation are significantly different for the cases of pure C12A7 and C12A7@C core-shell structure. The obtained results clearly illustrate that the HPHT conditions used in these experiments lead to the complete destruction of the mayenite structure and the formation of new phases, which compositions differ noticeably depending on the precursor used-pure mayenite or C12A7@C core-shell structure.
