Abstract
The thermal decomposition of Cd(NO3)(2). 4H(2)O was studied using DTA,TG, Q MS and XRD techniques. It has been found that decomposition process of this compound proceeds through three stages. A possible mechanism for the inves tigated process has been proposed. The quasi-isothermal method was used to determine the activation energy E-act values of thermal decomposition of Cd (NO3)(2).
