Özet

In this study, the thermal decomposition of ammonium paratungstate hydrate was investigated in dynamic air and inert gas (nitrogen and argon) atmospheres by simultaneous thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and mass spectroscopy (MS). The intermediate and end products obtained during thermal decomposition of ammonium paratungstate hydrate were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).
