Abstract

The thermochemical reduction of a series of structurally and morphologically different natural and synthetic manganese(IV) oxides has been investigated. Measurements have been performed by means of combined thermogravimetry/mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction and analytical scanning electron microscopy. The mechanisms of the degradation of these materials have been characterized in order to establish standardized procedures for their reactivity as function of structure, morphology and experimental conditions. The corresponding results are the fundament with respect to a reproducible technical application.
