Abstract: Decomposition of Mg and Gd oxalates, mechanical mixture and co-precipitated (unirrad. and irrad.) Gd-Mg oxalate has been studied by adopting rising temperature technique. The kinetics of the decomposition are investigated using thermogravimetry. The TG-DTA data exhibit two different stages of weight loss and endotherms, corresponding to individual components in the co-precipitate. Kinetic parameters for different stages are obtained by applying best fit models of solid state reactions in the Coats-Redfern's equation. Effects of irradiation and co-precipitation technique on the mechanism of decomposition of Gd-Mg ox have been studied.
