Abstract: Experimental researches on the process of losing crystal water and thermal decomposition of sodium iron (Ⅲ)ethylenediaminetetraacetate trihydrate(NaFeEDTA•3H2O) have been done by means of TG-DSC thermal graphs. The resultsobtained indicate there were two dehydration stages in 76~185℃ and four decomposition stages over 210℃. And the thermalstability in high temperature had been speculated in this paper with the kinetic parameters of every stage which were obtainedfrom the TG-DSC curves.

Key words: NaFeEDTA•3H2O, kinetic parameters, TG-DSC
