Thermal characteristics of the limonite laterite ore types have been studied using TG / DTA. There are four endothermic peaks at 250, 646, 900, and 1023 °C with a total mass loss of 10.07wt%. These four peaks correspond to the XRD results on samples calcined at 600-1000 °C. Analysis of TG / DTA to the mixture of limonite and …

Limonite is a general term for a mixture of fine-grained iron oxides, generally dominated by goethite, but also possibly containing hematite, lepidochrocite and other minerals. It forms from the weathering of other iron minerals, and may be precipitated by iron rich surface or ground water. It is a useful field term, and has been frequently used in the literature.
