Of particular relevance is the formation of a high-temperature carbonate (HT-CO3) phase that has a decomposition temperature greater than the maximum temperature experienced by the catalyst during its production or use.

26. The composition data are the result of about 200 measurements and are in good agreement with X-ray diffraction data: P. Porta, S. de Rossi, G. Ferraris, L. Jacono, M. Minelli, M. Moretti, J. Catal. 1988, 109, 367; whether the rest of the phases or the variation in the cation composition plays a role in this spatially limited technique of structure analysis can not be determined because the sensitivity of the samples does not allow prolonged exposure to the beam for preview measurements or meticulous observation.
