Abstract: | Thermal decomposition of borax has been researched by thermal, XRD and FTIR methods as well as SEM microscopy. Study have revealed that it proceeds according to the mechanism of internal reactions in the structure of the precursor as a medium. The following stages of the process have been distinguished: (1) dehydration, (2) internal structure reconstitution—formation of tincalconite, (3) amorphization of crystal structure, (4) gradual dehydroxylation and crystallization of Na2O·2B2O3 inside the amorphous matrix. |
