Abstract

This paper was devoted to explanation of the phase transitions nature in Ca12Al14O33±δ which were studied by a combination of methods: simultaneous thermal analysis, high-temperature X-ray diffraction analysis, Raman spectroscopy. One of the phase transitions is assumed to be connected with peroxide ions appearance/disappearance in mayenite at 922 K. The peroxide ions appearance reduces the system’s energy. Peroxide ions are responsible for the interaction of mayenite with water giving hydroxyl ions. Another phase transition at 1268 K is caused by changing in stability of electronic defects in mayenite. This paper enlightens correlations between the electronic defects state, the peroxide ions existence and chemical properties of Ca12Al14O33±δ .
