Abstract

Thermogravimetric analysis of lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium and neodymium oxalates was made in the temperature range 30-1100°C in air and in carbon dioxide. The results indicate that all except cerous oxalate decompose through formation of an intermediate oxycarbonate of the type M2O3·CO2. The decomposition was delayed and sluggish in carbon dioxide, which might be due to delayed nucleation and slow growth rate. Rate parameters have been calculated for dehydration and decomposition.
