High Temperature Properties and Thermal Decomposition of Inorganic Salts with Oxyanions / Edition 1

by Kurt H. Stern

Overview

Twenty years ago author Kurt Stern produced four monographs for the National Bureau of Standards on the high-temperature properties of inorganic salts containing oxyanions. Although relied upon by scientists and engineers around the world, these monographs have now become increasingly difficult to access and increasingly outdated.

High Temperature Properties and Thermal Decomposition of Inorganic Salts with Oxyanions unifies, expands upon, and brings up-to-date those standard-setting documents. It offers both qualitative and quantitative information on the behavior and properties of approximately 300 compounds, complete with thermodynamic tables of decomposition equilibria and information regarding decomposition kinetics. For each class of compounds, an existence chart in the form of a periodic table tells you at a glance which compounds are known to exist, those whose existence is uncertain, and those about which nothing is known. Supplementary tables give information about phase transitions and densities in both solid and liquid phases.

Within this single volume, the author provides a comprehensive, critical review of the high-temperature properties of all the major classes of inorganic salts with oxyanions. If you work with materials or processes that involve salts at elevated temperatures, you now have an authoritative resource that obviates the need to perform extensive literature searches, data evaluations, and thermodynamic calculations-and saves you time.

Editorial Reviews

Stern (formerly of the National Bureau of Standards in Washington, the Naval Research Laboratory, and the National Institutes of Health Graduate School) provides a critical review of the high temperature properties of all the major classes of inorganic salts with oxyanions. The volume is based on the four monographs on the thermal decomposition of inorganic salts with oxyanions he wrote under the auspices of the Standard Reference Data Program between 1968 and 1972 (now out of print). Provides both qualitative and quantitative information on the behavior and properties of some 300 compounds, with thermodynamic tables of decomposition equilibria and information regarding decomposition kinetics. For each class of compounds, an existence chart in the form of a periodic table reveals which compounds are known to exist, those whose existence is uncertain, and those about which nothing is known. Tables provide information about phase transitions and densities in both solid and liquid phases. For scientists and engineers who work with materials or processes that involve salts at elevated temperatures. Lacks any form of indexing. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
