Abstract:Basic magnesium carbonate crystals (4MgCO3·Mg(OH)2·4H2O) were prepared from magnesite with the aid of anhydrous ethanol through hydration,carbonization,pyrolysis and other processes at a low temperature (55 ℃).The phase structure and microstructure of the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).The effects of pyrolysis time,addition amount of anhydrous ethanol,pH of precursor solution and addition time of anhydrous ethanol on phase composition and morphology of products were studied.The growth mechanism of basic magnesium carbonate assisted by anhydrous ethanol was investigated.The results show that the microstructure and size of 4MgCO3·Mg(OH)2·4H2O are regulated by pyrolysis time,amount of anhydrous ethanol,pH of precursor solution and time of anhydrous ethanol addition.The optimum conditions for the preparation of 4MgCO3·Mg(OH)2·4H2O with the mean diameter of 2.3 μm and the morphology of rose bract are as follows:pyrolysis time of 105 min,volume ratio of anhydrous ethanol to Mg(HCO3)2 solution of 1∶2,and pH value of the precursor solution of 10±0.05.At this time,the addition amount of anhydrous ethanol has no significant effect on the crystal.The addition of anhydrous ethanol to assist the growth process of basic magnesium carbonate can not only reduce the energy required by the reaction,but also form a dense double electric protective film which can be adsorbed on the crystal surface,promote the formation of new nucleus and accelerate the conversion rate of MgCO3·3H2O to 4MgCO3·Mg(OH)2·4H2O.
