I want to calcinate MnFe2O4 nanoparticles at 800 degree Celsius for 2 hours. Is it possible that material will melt and take the shape of crucible?

Dear Yaseen,

It seems (from literature, not my experience) that your compound melts incongruently ca. 930 ºC. If this is the case, you can calcine it at 800 ºC (no problem with melting).

Best wishes,

Only now I could understand correctly your question, if there is the possibility of your material to react with the crucible. That depends on the chemistry of the crucible; just check the corresponding phase diagrams. You can try a platinum foil to avoid the contact between your sample and the crucible; try to use dense material crucibles; press your powders before calcination.

Sorry if I misunderstood your question before.
