Title: Kinetics of the Thermal Decomposition of BeSO<sub>4</sub>
Abstract: Freeze‐dried BeSO 4 was prepared from BeSO 4 ·4H 2 O. Thermal analyses of the tetrahydrate showed a stepwise water loss through the dihydrate and monohydrate to anhydrous BeSO 4 . The sulfate decomposition of both reagent‐grade and freeze‐dried BeSO 4 proceeded by a single step. Isothermal sulfate decomposition of both materials followed the contracting area model and gave activation energies of 51 to 54 kcal/mol.
