Abstract

The temperature dependence of the stability of various zinc borates has been investigated in the range 600 to 900°C using X-ray powder diffraction techniques. At low temperatures, 640 to 700°C, the only zinc borates detected areα-3ZnO.B2O3 and ZnO.2B2O3; super-position of these patterns accounts for the pattern ofα-ZnO.B2O3 reported previously. At temperatures of 71°C and above, ZnO.2B2O3 decomposes to 4ZnO.3B2O3 and boric oxide. However, this decomposition is very sluggish and ZnO.2B2O3 may be detected at temperatures as high as 900°C.
