Crystallization of Al-Si spinel from medium ordered kaolin with high content of<br />

kaolinite was investigated using differential thermal analysis (DTA). The effective<br />

activation energy of process has been evaluated from dependence of an exothermic<br />

peak of crystallization on heating rate. Within applied interval of heating rate (1<br />

– 40 Kmin -1 ) the temperature of peak maximum increases from initial value 1220.5<br />

K to 54.2 K. The activation energy of this process (856 ± 2 kJmol -1 ) was calculated<br />

using the Kissinger equation. The growth morphology of Al-Si spinel crystal was<br />

evaluated from the Avrami parameter. The average value of morphology parameter<br />

determined within the observed interval of heating rate is 3.08 ± 0.03. This value<br />

indicates that mechanism of crystallization of the cubic phase proceeds by bulk<br />

nucleation of the new phase with constant number of nuclei and three-dimensional<br />

growth of crystals is handled by the reaction rate on the interface of phases.<br />
