THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF THE HEAVIER RARE-EARTH METAL NITRATE HYDRATES. THERMOBALANCE AND DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL ANALYSIS STUDIES

Journal Article · · J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem.
The thermal decomposition of europium, gadolinium, dysprosium. holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium nitrate 4-hydrates was studied by means of the thermobalance and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The compounds were classified into three groups on the basis of their thermal decomposition patterns: Group A--europium, gadolinium, and dysprosium; group B--holmium, erbium, and thulium; and group C---ytterbium and lutetium. The DTA endotherms agreed fairly well with the corresponding decomposition reactions found on the weight-loss curves. (auth)
