system, in the whole range of components concentration have been studied.
It was found that the composition of the phase of the howardevansite type
structure, formed in the investigated system, corresponds with the Co
2.616Fe
4.256V
6O
24 formula. The phase of the lyonsite type structure
has a homogeneity range with the Co
3+1.5xFe
4–xV
6O
24 formula (0.476 formula (0.476<
x<1.667).
The melting temperature and the volume of the unit cell of the lyonsite type
structure phase increases together with the rise of cobalt quantity contained
in it. Basing on the results of the DTA and XRD measurements a phase diagram
of the FeVO
4–Co
3V
2O
8
system up to the solidus line was constructed.
