Abstract

This paper reports, the studies on chemical transformations at thermal treatment of a mixture of SrCO3 and Co3O4 corresponding to stoichiometric ratio of SrCoO3 compound. The mixture of raw materials was prepared by mechanical activation. Thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used for these studies. It was found that SrCoO3 forms at 930oC but is not stable and turn immediately into Sr2Co2O5 by eliminating of oxygen. This compound, Sr2Co2O5, is unstable and by increasing of the temperature decomposes in Sr3Co2O6 and cobalt oxide. At temperatures above the 1250oC, the samples melt and Sr3Co2O6 crystallizes from vitreous phase by cooling.
