Thermodynamic properties of spinel MgAl2O4: A mass spectrometric study

详细

The activities of oxides in stoichiometric spinel MgAl₂O₄ in the temperature range 1851–2298 K were determined from the data obtained by the Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry. The resulting Gibbs energies of spinel formation from simple oxides, the enthalpies and entropies of spinel formation from simple oxides (–12.02 ± 1.14 kJ/mol and 5.03 ± 0.56 J/(mol K), respectively), and the spinel melting enthalpy (55.81 ± 4.62 kJ/mol) satisfactorily agree with the available thermodynamic data.
