Abstract
Series of spinel solid solutions with a specified cation composition, Mg1 +xMnO3 – δ and, for the first time, MgLixMnO3 – δ, potential materials of catalytic systems for oxidation reactions such as oxidative conversion of methane and chemical looping combustion process were prepared by solid-state syntheses from mechanocomposites obtained by milling of ultra-high purity precursors (MgO, Mn2O3, MnO2, and Li2CO3). Their homogeneity region was found to be up to 1573 K at p(O2) = 0.21 atm. For both series of solid solutions, the synthesis from Mn2O3 and MnO2 in air was investigated by the TG-DSC method and the oxygen content in the resulting materials was determined (TG-DSC, titration). The products of extensive reduction of spinels Mg1 +xMnO3 – δ and MgLixMnO3–δ with an Ar + 4.8% H2 mixture were investigated. Parameters of conversion of the reduction products to the initial single-phase spinels on treatment with air were determined. The obtained materials showed good reproducibility of reversible oxygen capacity over 20 reduction–oxidation cycles.
