Thermal decomposition reactions usually occur at very high temperatures. In these reactions one compound is heated, for example, copper carbonate and it breaks down to produce two or more substances.

To make concrete, limestone, or calcium carbonate, is mixed with clay and other materials and then calcined at high temperatures, so CO2 is released via the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate.

Second, calcium and magnesium carbonates tend to precipitate out as hard deposits to the surfaces of pipes and heat exchanger surfaces. This is principally caused by thermal decomposition of ...
