Description:
<jats:p>The aim of this research was to obtain an initial characterization of the BaO and TiO2 components, as well as to conduct preliminary research into the possibility of activating the initial components in order to obtain barium titanate. Chemical and X-ray structural analysis of the initial components was performed. In order to determine the possibility of applying a mechanochemical activator and the activation time in which the first intermediate compounds were formed by the activation of the starting substances, the system was activated for 30 minutes. After this, an X-ray structural analysis was performed and certain changes in the crystal lattice of the starting components were made. X-ray structural analysis showed that during grinding, amorphization of the initial components occurred, which is the first stage in the process of obtaining titanate, as well as the presence of a small amount of barium titanate, which is indicating the presence of an intermediate compound in the process of finally obtaining barium titanate.</jats:p>
