Results of Emanation Thermal Analysis (ETA), Thermogravimetry (TG) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) of hydrous ruthenia measured during heating in argon from 20 to 1000°C are presented. The ETA results were interpreted using comparison with the results of TG, DTA, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and surface area measurement. An agreement of the results was found. The ETA made it possible to monitor microstructure changes under in situ conditions of heat treatment of the samples.
