The High-temperature Microcalorimetry of Inorganic Substances

The essential features of high-temperature microcalorimetry have been described, and the possibilities provided by its use in various fields such as inorganic chemistry, mineralogy, power engineering, etc. have been demonstrated. The procedures of high-temperature microcalorimetry have been classified according to the types of process studied: solution, oxidation, hydrogenation, dissociation, phase transformations, the mixing of melts, etc., and illustrated for substances with different compositions and uses: metals, oxides, salts, synthetic and natural compounds, and minerals. The results of the studies have been compared with data obtained by calorimetry involving solution in aqueous solutions and by combustion calorimetry. The bibliography contains 423 references.
