Thermal Decomposition of Rare Earth Fluoride Hydrates

Journal Article · · Science
A thermogravimetric study of the thermal decomposition of La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er, and Y fluoride hydrates shows that minimum dehydration temperatures are from 315 to 405 C; conversion of the fluorides to oxyfluorides begins in the 600 to 690 C temperature range.
