Abstract

Thermodynamic calculations have been done for the factors e.g., free energy (∆F), enthalpy (∆H), and lattice energy (U) by the various researchers namely Vaughn (1955), Schicltz and Soliman (1966), and Mazumdar and Mukherjee (1983) in predicting the nature of intermediate spinel phase, and second the course of mullite formation reaction of kaolinite.
