Abstract
Using the TERRA software suite, we have evaluated the adiabatic temperature of reactions of Ta2O5 and Mg4Ta2O9 with calcium (2900 and 2362 K, respectively). We have carried out a comparative analysis of the pore structure of niobium and tantalum powders prepared via magnesium and calcium vapor reduction of niobium and tantalum oxide compounds and identified characteristic features of the pore structure of these types of powder. Assumptions are made as to the causes of the formation of the coarser pore structure of the calciothermic powders.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Materials is a journal that publishes reviews and original articles devoted to chemistry, physics, and applications of various inorganic materials including high-purity substances and materials. The journal discusses phase equilibria, including P–T–X diagrams, and the fundamentals of inorganic materials science, which determines preparatory conditions for compounds of various compositions with specified deviations from stoichiometry. Inorganic Materials is a multidisciplinary journal covering all classes of inorganic materials. The journal welcomes manuscripts from all countries in the English or Russian language.
