| Abstract Scope |
In this research work, the direct calcination reaction of spodumene (LiAlSi2O6) with NaCl and LiAlSi2O6 with Na2CO3 through thermodynamic simulation using the Fact Sage 8.2 software was studied. The molar ratios (RM) in both systems analyzed were: 1:0.5, 1:0.6, 1:0.7, 1:0.8, 1:9, and 1:1 in the temperature range from 50°C to 1200°C and 1 atmosphere of pressure determining the chemical species in equilibrium every 50 °C through Gibbs energy minimization. The most stable chemical species formed for the system LiAlSi2O6:NaCl in all RMs were: LiCL (17.33%), NaAlSiO4 and NaAlSi3O8. And the most stable chemical species formed for the system LiAlSi2O6:Na2CO3 were: Li2CO3 (18.23%), NaAlSiO4 and NaAlSi3O8. The results obtained from the present study allowed us to propose the reaction mechanism of the direct roasting process of a-spodumene with NaCl and a-spodumene with Na2CO3. |
