Abstract
Differential scanning calorimetry shows two endotherms at 75 and 225 degrees Celsius for synthetic goethite. The latter endotherm is strongly asymmetric on the low temperature side. The endotherms were attributed to the loss of water and the dehydroxylation of the goethite. The temperature of the endotherms and the enthalpy of the phase change were found to be linear functions of the % of aluminium substitution into the goethite. High-resolution thermogravimetric analysis of goethite showed three weight loss steps, occurring at ~ 175, 196 and 263 degrees Celsius. The temperatures of these weight loss steps and the % weight loss were also linearly related to the degree of Al substitution. The use of infrared emission spectroscopy confirmed the temperature of dehydroxylation. The observation of the low temperature dehydroxylation of goethite and its relation to ancient aboriginal cave art is discussed.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
