Abstract

The thermal behavior of tourmaline mineral during the whole process from solid state at room temperature to molten salt at high temperature and back to solid state at room temperature has been systematically investigated. Surface characterization based on observation of the sintering point, thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry, high-temperature x-ray diffraction analysis, field-emission transmission electron microscopy, and high-temperature Raman spectrometry did not reveal any significant changes in the crystal structure of tourmaline except for a slight decrease in grain size during the heating process from room temperature to 890°C. Further increase in the temperature to 1050°C resulted in a phase transformation into cordierite along with a sharp decrease in grain size; the phase transformation was complete at 1200°C. When the temperature was decreased to 890°C, the tourmaline phase was observed to precipitate in the molten salt, and the grain size was found to grow gradually. A continuous decrease in temperature resulted in more tourmaline with slightly smaller grain size due to the pinning effect at second-phase grain boundaries.
