Differential thermal analysis (DTA) curves are presented for Th, Sc, U/ sup 4+/ and the rare-earth metal oxalate hydrates. For all the metal oxalate hydrates, endothermic and exothermic peaks are present in the curves which are the result of dehydration, decomposition, and oxidation reactions. The DTA curves for Th and La oxalates differ from those previously reported. A weight- loss curve is presented for the thermal decomposition of the 6- and 2-hydrates of U/sup 4+/ oxalate. (auth)
