Manganese is a widely used element in the steel industry; its main source is a mineral named rhodochrosite (MnCO3). For industrial usage, rhodochrosite is reduced to different manganese oxides by means of nodulation furnaces. In this study, rhodochrosite was thermally analyzed at temperatures ranging from 100 °C to 1200 °C. XRD (Powder X-ray diffraction), XRF (X-ray fluorescence), AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrometry), and FESEM-EDX (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry) were used to characterize the mineral and the residues were analyzed by XRD and FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy) to determine the stoichiometry of the thermal decomposition reactions. Three mass losses were observed, the first attributed to the transformation from carbonate to manganese (III) oxide, the second to the reduction to manganese tetroxide, and the third to the decomposition of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) present as a contaminant in the studied mineral. Thermal decomposition kinetics shows that the first mass loss required 17.91 kJ mol−1, indicating a control by mass transport-controlled process. For the second and third mass loss, the apparent activation energy of 112.41 kJ mol−1 and 64.69 kJ mol−1 was obtained respectively, indicating that both mass loss events were rate-controlled.

The thermal decomposition of ammonium aluminum carbonate hydroxide was studied under non-isothermal conditions in air. The decomposition kinetics were evaluated from data of TG-DTA by means of the Kissinger equation and the Coats-Redfern equation. The values of the activation energy E, the preexponential factor A and the algebraic expression of integral G(α) functions of the thermal decomposition were calculated. The ammonium aluminum carbonate hydroxide (AACH) was characterized by X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric and field emission scanning electron microscopy.

Solid state compounds of general formula ML2.nH2O [where M is Mg, Ca, Sr or Ba; L is cinnamate (C6H5 -CH=CH-COO-) and n = 2, 4, 0.8, 3 respectively], have been synthetized. Thermogravimetry (TG), derivative thermogravimetry (DTG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction powder patterns have been used to characterize and to study the thermal stability and thermal decomposition of these compounds.

The crystal and molecular structures of four tetrahedral structurally similar [Co(aamp)2X2] complexes (aamp = 4-acetyl-3-amino-5-methylpyrazole, X = Cl, Br, I and NCS) were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis and are discussed in detail. It was found that the different capacity of the ligand X (NCS vs. Cl, Br, I) for the formation of non-bonding contacts influence the mode of molecular association in the solid state. The complexes were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The first step of the thermal decomposition of the compounds was checked and is discussed in the view of the IR spectrum of the intermediate isolated from [Co(aamp)2Br2] by the quasi-isothermal technique.
