Abstract  

Melting process and thermal decomposition of [Ca(H2O)4](NO3)2 was studied by thermogravimetry analysis (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and simultaneous differential thermal analysis (SDTA) at a constant heating rate. The gaseous products of the decomposition were on-line identified by a quadruple mass spectrometry (QMS). Tetraaquacalcium nitrate(V) melts at Tm=320 K. The decomposition of the sample proceeds in three main stages. In the first stage dehydration of [Ca(H2O)4](NO3)2 to anhydrous Ca(NO3)2 undergoes in two steps, in which consecutively 1/4 and 3/4 of all H2O molecules are liberated. The thermal dehydration process starts just above ca. 302 K and continues up to ca. 475 K. In the second stage (475–775 K) anhydrous Ca(NO3)2 remains unchanged. The third stage is connected with the melting of anhydrous Ca(NO3)2 at Tm=816 K and next with its decomposition in the liquid phase to nitrogen oxide, oxygen, nitrogen and solid CaO.
