Abstract: 
Synthetic pigments of goethite (Bayferrox(R)) of different particle size were investigated by DTA, IR, DSC, TG and X-ray diffraction measurements. It follows that a so-called 'hydrohematite' described in the literature does not exist as a discrete intermediate during the dehydration course from goethite to hematite. Instead we observed a dependence of the dehydration mechanism on the particle size. Transformation enthalpies and activation energies for the dehydration process will be given. A plausible dehydration mechanism, which is compatible with our DTA/DSC results, is deduced from TEM investigations.
