Calcium titanate, CaTiO 3 , has appeared as a significant impurity in the synthesis of several ceramic host materials for the disposal of excess weapons grade plutonium and uranium. Previously reported heat capacities on CaTiO 3 extend only to T = 50 K. Also, the agreement of the low-temperature hea

โฆ Synopsis
Zirconolite (CaZrTi 2 O 7 ) has been proposed as a host phase for excess weapons plutonium, and the standard molar entropy 298.15 K 0 S o m and other derived thermodynamic functions are needed to describe it completely. The heat capacity of CaZrTi 2 O 7 has been measured from T โ 20 K to T โ 400 K with an adiabatic calorimeter. A six-term fitting equation based on Debye and Einstein functions has been shown to represent the heat capacity over the entire range of temperature to within the experimental uncertainty. This equation has been used to calculate the thermodynamic functions to T = 400 K and to extrapolate these functions to T = 1500 K. In particular, 298.15 K 0 S o m for CaZrTi 2 O 7 is 193.3 J โข K -1 โข mol -1 .
