Abstract

In the present study, decomposition mechanism of CeCl3·xH2O(s) and PrCl3·xH2O(s) was investigated using thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis and evolved gas analysis techniques. Intermediate products formed in the dehydration of RE (Ce, Pr) Cl3·xH2O(s) were characterized by X-ray diffraction analyses. Thermodynamic stability of the RECl3·xH2O(s) and their intermediate products has been determined from the vapor pressure of water measured over the compounds employing dynamic transpiration technique.
