Abstract

The thermal decomposition of some vanadyl tartrates of formulae Na4[(VO)2(C4 H2O6)2] · 12H2O, Ca(VO)(C4H4O6)2 · 6H2O, Sr(VO)(C4H4O6)2 · 5H2O and [Ba2(VO2 (C4H2O6)2(H2O)8] have been studied by TG and DSC techniques under non-isothermal experimental conditions. All the compounds present a three-step decomposition pattern (dehydration, ligand pyrolysis and evolution of the inorganic residue), leading to a residue corresponding to several vanadates and oxides. Kinetic analyses of the dehydration curves have been performed using the Satava integral method: random nucleation, order of reaction 1.5 and the Johnson equation have given the best correlation factors. In order to obtain mixed oxides, the complexes were fired in three different atmospheres. The oxides obtained from alkaline-earth vanadyl tartrates depend on the atmosphere employed.
