Thermochimica acta

The thermal decomposition of Cd(NO 3 ) 2 ·4H 2 O was studied using DTA, TG, QMS and XRD techniques. It has been found that decomposition process of this compound proceeds through three stages. A possible mechanism for the investigated process has been proposed. The quasi-isothermal method was used to determine the activation energy  E  act  values of thermal decomposition of Cd(NO 3 ) 2 .
