Handbook of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry Applications to Inorganic and Miscellaneous

Michael E. Brown, Patrick K. Gallagher9780444820860, 0-444-82086-8

This is the second volume of a four volume set intended to describe the techniques and applications of thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods. The general techniques and methodology are covered extensively in Volume 1, along with the fundamental physicochemical background needed. Consequently the subsequent volumes dwell on the applications of these powerful and versatile methods, while assuming a familiarity with the techniques. Volume 2 covers major areas of inorganic materials and some related general topics, e.g., catalysis, geochemistry, and the preservation of art. The chapters are written by established practitioners in the field with the intent of presenting a sampling of the how thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods have contributed to progress in their respective areas. The chapters are not intended as exhaustive reviews of the topics, but rather, to illustrate to the readers what has been achieved and to encourage them to consider extending these applications further into their domains of interest. – Provides an appreciation for how thermal methods can be applied to inorganic materials and processes. – Provides an insight into the versatility of thermal methods. – Shares the experiences of experts in a variety of different fields. – A valuable reference source covering a huge area of materials coverage.
