Abstract
The thermolysis of sodium hexa/benzoato/ferrate/III/, i. e. Na3[Fe/C6H5COO/6].4.5H2O has been investigated at different temperatures in air using Mössbauer, infrared spectroscopic and derivatographic techniques /DTG, DTA, TG/. The thermal decomposition proceeds without the reduction of iron/III/. An increase in particle size of α-Fe2O3 formed during thermolysis has been observed with increasing temperature. The end product, α-NaFeO2 is formed as a result of the solid state reaction between α-Fe2O3 and sodium carbonate.
