热力学：电极反应的真实热效应（英文版）

Thermodynamics: How much are the real heats of electrode reaction? is a scholarly anthology of original research on heat release and absorption of electrode processes and the concepts of absolute scales. The book covers the author's outcome of years of research and provides fresh ideas in the field of physicochemistry in process metallurgy. The author's findings question the predictability of the heat release and absorption of electrode processes according to thermodynamics or electrochemistry and suggest fairly accurate forecasts could only be achieved via experimentation. The concept of an absolute scale, proposed by the author, aids in predicting and experimentally measuring the real heats of electrode reactions. The content includes studies on 'solution chemistry,' 'phase boundaries of muhicomponent system,' 'oxygen potential of buffer gases,' and 'thermodynamic properties of substances.' The book provides various discussions on the thermodynamic models of aqueous solution of electrolyte and molten salt systems.This anthology essentially systematizes papers on different points making it essential to researchers in the field to grasp these contents more deeply and to understand the development of some basic issues. The book is a valuable reference for students studying physicochemistry in process metallurgy and postgraduates interested in mastering the theoretical and experimental aspects of the subject area. The book's publishing enlightens readers that many disciplines still have issues that require fundamental knowledge and further experimentation.
