The thermal degradation of calcium oxalate monohydrate is studied by using diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy combined with quadrupole mass spectrometry (DRIFTS/MS). DRIFTS/MS results are correlated with thermogravimetric analyses to verify the thermal properties of samples studied. Infrared spectral evidence for CaC 2 O 4 H 2 O dehydration and infrared spectra for three different CaC 2 O 4 phases are given. In addition, the significance of a band at 1085 cm −1 assigned to CO 2 2− which appears during the decomposition of CaC 2 O 4 to CaCO 3 is discussed.
