Synthesis of lithium metazirconate phase using thermodynamic simulations

The optimal conditions for synthesis of lithium metazirconate phase with minimal contaminations has been determined using thermodynamic modeling method three routs were considers: solid state synthesis; sol-gel method and cocrystallization from nitrate solution. The results of calculations were proved by experiment. The sol-gel method was found to be most appropriate. The feasibility of control of product dispersion was shown.
