Handbook Of Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions

Expertise in electrolyte systems has become increasingly important in traditional CPI operations, as well as in oil/gas exploration and production. This book is the source for predicting electrolyte systems behavior, an indispensable "do-it-yourself" guide, with a blueprint for formulating predictive mathematical electrolyte models, recommended tabular values to use in these models, and annotated bibliographies. The final chapter is a general recipe for formulating complete predictive models for electrolytes, along with a series of worked illustrative examples. It can serve as a useful research and application tool for the practicing process engineer, and as a textbook for the chemical engineering student.

Properties of Aqueous Solutions of Electrolytes is a handbook that systematizes the information on physico-chemical parameters of multicomponent aqueous electrolyte solutions. This important data collection will be invaluable for developing new methods for more efficient chemical technologies, choosing optimal solutions for more effective methods of using raw materials and energy resources, and other such activities. This edition, the first available in English, has been substantially revised and augmented. Many new tables have been added because of a significantly larger list of electrolytes and their properties (electrical conductivity, boiling and freezing points, pressure of saturated vapors, activity and diffusion coefficients). The book is divided into two sections. The first section provides tables that list the properties of binary aqueous solutions of electrolytes, while the second section deals with the methods for calculating their properties in multicomponent systems. All values are given in PSI units or fractional and multiple units. Metrological characteristics of the experimental methods used for the determination of physico-chemical parameters are indicated as a relative error and those of the computational methods as a relative error or a root-mean square deviation.

An Introduction to Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions is a comprehensive coverage of the subject including the development of key concepts and theory that focus on the physical rather than the mathematical aspects. Important links are made between the study of electrolyte solutions and other branches of chemistry, biology, and biochemistry, making it a useful cross-reference tool for students studying this important area of electrochemistry. Carefully developed throughout, each chapter includes intended learning outcomes and worked problems and examples to encourage student understanding of this multidisciplinary subject. * a comprehensive introduction to aqueous electrolyte solutions including the development of key concepts and theories * emphasises the connection between observable macroscopic experimental properties and interpretations made at the molecular level * key developments in concepts and theory explained in a descriptive manner to encourage student understanding * includes worked problems and examples throughout An invaluable text for students taking courses in chemistry and chemical engineering, this book will also be useful for biology, biochemistry and biophysics students required to study electrochemistry.

Electrolytes and salt solutions are ubiquitous in chemical industry, biology and nature. This unique compendium introduces the elements of the solution properties of ionic mixtures. In addition, it also serves as a bridge to the modern researches into the molecular aspects of uniform and non-uniform charged systems. Notable subjects include the Debye-Hückel limit, Pitzer's formulation, Setchenov salting-out, and McMillan-Mayer scale. Two new chapters on industrial applications — natural gas treating, and absorption refrigeration, are added to make the book current and relevant.This textbook is eminently suitable for undergraduate and graduate students. For practicing engineers without a background in salt solutions, this introductory volume can also be used as a self-study.
