At what temperature will Ca(IO3)2.H2O (calcium iodate monohydrate) be
converted to Ca(IO3)2 (calcium iodate anhydrous) ? Please substantiate
with reference.

Hi rs7!!

Thank you for let me answer your question.

The required infe can be found at the following document:
"Growth and study of some gel grown group II single crystals of iodate"
http://www.ias.ac.in/matersci/bmsoct2001/461.pdf

Regarding to the difference between the document data and your own lab
results, I can only guess that it may be due the presence of some
impurities.
Note that the temp range for the doped calcium iodate is lower.

You can also find the following datasheets usefull:
"MONOHYDRATE CALCIUM IODATE ":
http://www.jefo.ca/fiches_anglais/calcium_iodate.html

"Calcium Iodate Monohydrate":
http://www.wm-blythe.co.uk/WMBLYTHE/CSDS.nsf/0/60eb466d27f52ae58025677f00443dac?OpenDocument


Be sure that I will try to find more info related to your last
question and I will post the results. Note that after the question is
answered, it is still open to the rest of the Google Answers community
to post comments.


Best regards.

Thank you, Livioflores. Would appreciate any further refernces re. the
dehydration temp. of calcium iodate monohydrate.

Does the information included in the following document fit your needs?
"Growth and study of some gel grown group II single crystals of iodate"
http://www.ias.ac.in/matersci/bmsoct2001/461.pdf

livioflores... Thank you. Yes its does. Please post it as an answer
(and a good one). However, I would like to leave this question open
for another reference. (I wonder how to do this at Google). My own lab
results indicate that the dehydration temp for calcium iodate
monohydrate is 170 - 175 deg. C while you ref. claims it to be 225-280
deg. C.
