Abstract

The evaluation of magnesite contents in mixtures with other minerals is much improved by variable atmosphere DTA, using flowing CO2 gas. Greatly increased identification accuracy and detection limits result.

Additional information

I am indebted to Dr. R. C. Mackenzie for the privilege of working at the Macaulay Institute for Soil Research, where the Du Pont results were obtained. Also Dr. D. J. Morgan (Institute of Geological Sciences, London) kindly ran duplicate magnesite samples (Stanton Redcroft equipment) which gave similar results.

This work relates to a project on “Low Rank Oil Shales”, currently supported under the “National Energy Research, Development and Demonstration Program”, administered by the Commonwealth Department of National Development and Energy, Australia.
