Abstract
Abstract Gd 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 ·10H 2 O was used as a parent compound for the formation of Gd 2 O 3 at up to 800 °C in an atmosphere of air. Thermal processes occurring during the decomposition course were monitored by means of differential thermal analysis, DTA, and Thermogravimetry, TG. Intermediates and final solid products were characterized by XRD and IR Spectroscopy. The results showed that Gd 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 .10H 2 O decomposes to Gd 2 O 3 at 575 °C through different intermediates, Gd 2 O 2 CO 3 was defined as a stable intermediate. The final product Gd 2 O 3 has a surface area of 23.4 m 2 g −1 .
