Abstract
Strontium oxalate exists in two different forms: the neutral strontium oxalate hydrate, SrC2O4·xH2O, and the acid salt of strontium oxalate, SrC2O4·yH2C2O4·xH2O. Depending on the concentration of oxalic acid and ammonium oxalate as precipitating agents, both forms can be obtained. At a sufficiently low pH, the stoichiometric compound is formed. The thermal decomposition of the different strontium oxalates is studied in different atmospheres using DSC, and TGA coupled with FTIR and MS. The TGA-EGA spectra indicate that the anhydrous acid oxalate decomposes with the release of H2O, CO, CO2 and formic acid.Keywords
