This study systematically investigated the thermodynamics and phase evolution of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate. The pyrolysis process of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate can be divided into four stages. The activation energies of calcium nitrate pyrolysis were determined using three iso-conversion methods. The pyrolysis process of calcium nitrate further expands the industrial application of nitric acid pressure leaching.
Nitric acid pressure leaching has great potential in treating limonitic laterite. A new method is designed to improve the downstream process. The resulting calcium nitrate solution is concentrated/crystallized/pyrolyzed to achieve the regeneration of nitric acid and calcium oxide. Calcium nitrate pyrolysis is the core process to realize the new method, but the dynamic analysis of this process is relatively lacking and the pyrolysis mechanism is controversial. In this paper, TG-DSC, TG-MS and XRD were applied to systematically study the thermodynamics and phase evolution of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate. It is found that pyrolysis of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate can be divided into four stages: removing free water and part of crystal water, removing residual crystal water, stable existence of anhydrous calcium nitrate, and its decomposition after melting. Calcium nitrite and nitrogen are absent in the process of calcium nitrate pyrolysis. Three iso-conversion methods, including Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose method and Starink method, were applied to determine activation energies of calcium nitrate pyrolysis as 224.4 kJ/mol, 221.8 kJ/mol and 222.2 kJ/mol. The kinetic mechanism model of calcium nitrate pyrolysis determined by Melak method is closer to An model, which is the random nucleation and growth reaction. Calcium nitrate pyrolysis process further expands the industrial application of nitric acid pressure leaching.
