Calcium sulfites were synthesized in aqueous solution and thermal behaviors of the products were investigated in air and N
2 gas mainly by thermal analysis (micro-TG-DTA) and X-ray powder diffraction methods. The results obtained were summerized as follows :
(1) The X-ray diffraction patterns of the products synthesized by various methods were in close agreement with that of CaSO
3·1/2H
2O in the ASTM data cards, but the amount of H
2O in them were higher by 1 to 3 wt. % than the calculated value from the formula CaSO
3.1/2H
2O. The excess water were gradually dehydrated from 100 to 300°C, and the dehydration of the hemihydrated water of CaSO
3·1/2H
2O was occurred at 350 to 400°C.
(2) In air, the CaSO
3 was very sensitive to oxidation and rapidly oxidized into II CaSO
4 at 500 to600°C. The II CaSO
4 were decomposed to CaO and SO
3 after the transition from II CaSO
4 to I CaSO
4at 1170°C.
(3) In N
2 gas, the CaSO
3 were transformed to II CaSO
4 and CaS at 700 to 800°C according to the formula (1),
4CaSO
3700-800°C-→3II CaSO
4+CaS (1)
and the products were decomposed into CaO and SO
2 below the temperature of II CaSO
4 → I CaSO4 transition according to the formula (2).

(4) When the CaSO
3.1/2H
2O crystals were large enough, the oxidation in air occurred at higher temperature than usual partially accompanied with the self oxidation-reduction reaction of formula (1).
