The thermal decomposition of zirconium molybdate, tungstate and arsenate were investigated. The total mass losses of the investigated materials were 12.5, 11 and 8.5%, respectively. Despite having different crystal dimensions and structure the thermal decomposition of the samples takes place in a similar way. During heating two main endothermic processes with mass loss were observed. At the end of the thermal decomposition, oxides of the original materials were observed. The mentioned mass losses originate partly from the crystal water loss of the materials. The calculated crystal water content in the original molecule was 1.3 and 1 mole/molecule unit, respectively. Furthermore, for zirconium arsenate, a sublimation process was recorded above 960 K.
