Thermal decomposition of Ni(II) and Fe(III) acetates and their mixture

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF01981811

The thermal decomposition of the ferric and nickel acetate salts has been followed. It was found that the heating rate affects the decomposition steps. For a heating rate of 1 K min^-1 the product is either Fe₂O₃ or NiO. For a higher heating rate the suboxides are obtained and reoxidized again on further heating. The decomposition of the mixed salt is an overlap of the DTA for the separate salts but the decomposition reactions are shifted to lower temperatures.
