The Experimental Determination of Solubilities
herausgegeben von Glenn Hefter und Reginald P. T. TomkinsThe most useful experimental methods for all types of solubilitymeasurements
The importance of solubility phenomena has been long recognizedthroughout science. For example, in medicine, the solubility ofgases in liquids forms the basis of life itself; in theenvironment, solubility phenomena influence the weathering ofrocks, the creation of soils, the composition of natural waterbodies and the behaviour and fate of many chemicals. However, untilnow, no systematic critical presentation of the methods forobtaining solubilities has been given.
Divided into five sections the author has concentrated on thefundamental thermodynamic and kinetic background necessary for afull understanding of solubility phenomena. The major types ofsolubility determinations according to the physical state of thesolute: gases, liquids and solids; whilst the final section dealswith those technologically important areas whose traditions aresufficiently different to justify their separate presentation.
* Each chapter aims to be comprehensive but notencyclopaedic, with coverage of the reliable methods in theparticular area;
* Illustrations have been included to enable the noviceinvestigator quickly develop apparatus of their own
* Where appropriate, contributors have included sets of data toenable workers to properly assess the quality of their apparatus, technique and data
