The second stage of the decomposition of dolomite is strongly dependent on these procedural variables and behaves in a manner that would be predicted for a sample of calcite diluted with magnesia as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
TG, DTG and DTA curves of magnesite are dependent on procedural variables, especially sample mass, heating rate and partial pressure of carbon dioxide, in a similar manner to those of calcite [1], although the magnitude of the effect is less for magnesite. The first stage of the decomposition of dolomite varies with increasing partial pressure of carbon dioxide in an anomalous manner and hence the effects of these procedural variables (except heating rate) are not similar to those observed for magnesite and calcite. The second stage of the decomposition of dolomite is, however, strongly dependent on these procedural variables and behaves in a manner that would be predicted for a sample of calcite diluted with magnesia. A 1∶1 molar mixture of magnesite and calcite also behaves as would be predicted from the behaviour of the single carbonates but differently from that of dolomite.

Magnesia-Based Cements: A Journey of 150 Years, and Cements for the Future?

TL;DR: In uses that do not require steel reinforcement, and in locations where the MgO can be sourced at a competitive price, a detailed understanding of these systems enables their specification, design, and selection as advanced engineering materials with a strongly defined chemical basis.

Structure and properties of binder gels formed in the system Mg(OH)2–SiO2–H2O for immobilisation of Magnox sludge

TL;DR: The feasibility of using M-S-H as binder to structurally immobilise Magnox sludge is demonstrated, enabling the conversion of a waste into a cementitious binder with potentially very high waste loadings, and the first detailed nanostructural description of the material thus formed is provided.

Thermal Activation of Antigorite for Mineralization of CO2

TL;DR: An important effect of oxidation of Fe(2+) under air purge gas that occurs prior to dehydroxylation and leads to formation of hematite skins on serpentinite particles, slowing down subsequent mass transfer and increasing the treatment temperature is reported.

The effect of CO2 pressure and alkali salt on the mechanism of decomposition of dolomite

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed investigation of the mechanism of decomposition of dolomite in a specially designed thermal apparatus has been performed, and it has been shown that CO2 pressure affects both the initial decomposition temperature into MgO and CaCO3 and the final decomposition temperatures in opposite directions.

The effect of procedural variables on TG, DTG and DTA curves of calcium carbonate

The thermal dissociation of some carbonate minerals

TL;DR: In this article, the peak-temperature shifts reported for mixtures of synthetic carbonates were attributed entirely to dilution effects, and the exception of magnesite in the presence of siderite maintains its peak position, due simply to the fact that both minerals give similarly sized peaks at approximately the same temperature.

Studies on the thermal dissociation of some carbonate minerals

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic study of this phenomenon using pure compounds with controlled grain size and other affecting parameters may help in understanding the dissociation curves of natural carbonate aggregates.
