Abstract
The effect of impurities on zircon thermal behaviour is discussed and explained from a thermodynamic point of view. Based on the data obtained from the ZrO2-Al2O3-SiO2-TiO2 system, previously studied by the authors, the influence of the impurities, normally present in zircon sands, on the dissociation and initial melting temperatures in natural zircon, has been studied.
