Abstract
Using thermogravimetric analyses as well as isothermal gravimetric measurements, the thermal stability of the iron(III) nitrate nanohydrate has been determined. Several decomposition stages are the result of melting, evaporation and hydrolysis processes occurring in the salt—water system in the temperature range of 20–400°C. Some of the intermediates and the final product (α-Fe2O3) are characterized by means of chemical analyses, X-ray diffraction patterns and IR spectra.
