Resumen:
The two reaction stages of the carbochlorination of ZrO2 that we have recently reported were investigated by thermogravimetric measurements and characterized by following the morphological evolution of the solids by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Chlorine atoms are proposed as reaction intermediates in both reaction stages. Evidence of a catalytic-like action of carbon by the dissociation of chlorine gas is observed in the initial stage, and the occurrence of the O2-C reaction is inferred in the second stage.
