Kinetics of the thermal decomposition of cadmium carbonate (CdCO3)

Scallop shells as biosorbents for water remediation from heavy metals: Contributions and mechanism of shell components in the adsorption of cadmium from aqueous matrix

“…Below 100 °C, DTA curves showed an endothermic peak weakly indicating low amounts of absorbed water. The occurrence of otavite was confirmed by a broad endothermic peak between about 370 and 460 °C due to the decomposition of CdCO 3 into CdO under atmospheric pressure [ 73 , 74 ]. In the same temperature range the polyenes’ decomposition also occurred [ 67 , 75 ].…”

Thermal Analysis

“…There is a TG study of the dehydration of gel-grown iron tartrate dihydrate (188). Other salts receive attention from thermal analysts, such as calcium carbonate doped with Bi 2 O 3 (189) or cadmium carbonate (190). The use of simultaneous TG-DTA showed for Zr(SO 4 ) 2 ‚4H 2 O three stages of degradation followed by decomposition (191).…”
