摘要：

Struvite (NH4MgPO4.6H(2)O) is a mineral often found in urinary tracts and kidneys. Thermal decomposition using slow low heating shows that the 'kidney' stone can be decomposed at temperatures below 40degreesC. At this temperature both ammonia and water are evolved. If more rapid heating is employed the decomposition occurs at around 80degreesC. The implication of this work rests with the use of low slow heat for the decomposition of the kidney stones.
