The infrared spectra of rare earth acetates have been studied to examine the metal-acetate bonding. The thermal decomposition of rare earth acetates as well as lead and copper acetates have been investigated in detail by employing thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis. Thermal decomposition of calcium dicarboxylates (malonate to sebacate) have been studied employing t.g.a. and d.t.a. Infrared spectra of the dicarboxylates have also been studied. Preliminary results on the products of decomposition of dicarboxylates have been reported.

Seven mixed hydroxides of magnesium and aluminium were prepared, and phase and structural changes accompanying their dehydration were investigated by differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction techniques. The differential thermal analysis curves possess 2 peaks corresponding to those of parent hydroxides together with a new peak, and the thermogravimetric analysis curves show slight inflections. X-ray diffraction patterns of the mixed hydroxides possess the characteristic lines of the parent hydroxides together with three to five new intense lines which might indicate the formation of a double hydroxide. When the mixed hydroxides are progressively heated they give rise to products possessing patterns which first become diffuse and ultimately pass mainly into the spinel pattern.Adsorption isotherms of cyclohexane and benzene were measured on the mixed hydroxides and their dehydration products. Specific surface areas calculated by the application of the Brunauer, Emmett, Teller (B.E.T.) equation are in general in good agreement for the two adsorbates. The surface area increases with rise of dehydration temperature to a maximum at 500–600 °C and then decreases with further rise in temperature. This behavior is common to crystalline oxide systems and may be ascribed to the intermingling of decomposition, re-crystallization, and sintering processes. Variations in the molecular ratio of the mixed oxides (as much as 20-fold), and in the method of preparation, do not much alter the surface area.

Differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric analysis of sodium azide diluted with sodium chloride both show one major peak followed by a second minor one. This is interpreted as indicating the occurrence of two distinct decomposition processes. The activation energy of the first, major process was 36 kcal/mol, which agrees with values reported previously from measurements of the rate of nitrogen evolution. Differential thermal analysis of sodium azide mixed with alumina was complicated by the presence of variable amounts of water adsorbed on the alumina. The presence of water was shown to have an inhibiting effect on the decomposition.

In the present work, Ni/MgO powder was prepared by co-precipitation in which CO restore NiO to elemental subtance Ni due to C2O42- was decompose to CO and CO2 at 700°C. As the process of the second sintering, H3BO3 was added into the sintered powder of 700°C and was grinded. Then the powder of H3BO3 added was sintered at 800°C,so that the powder was refined, obviously. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis(DTA) was carried out in CO2 flow at 10°C/min. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was carried out on a X-ray diffractometer operated at 20KV and 40mA. The microstructures and morphologies were studied by EPMA and XPS.
