Riassunto

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.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

Expertise in electrolyte systems has become increasingly important in traditional chemical process industry operations, as well as in oil/gas exploration and production. In particular, electrolyte systems come into play in many important applications involving the environment.
Unit recently, engineers faced with the dilemma of predicting the behavior of electrolyte or predicting the behavior of electrolyte systems had to resort to crude predictions largely based on the adaptation of methods applicable to hydrocarbons systems.
The Handbook of Aqueous Electrolyte Thermodynamics solves the modern engineer’s dilemma by acting as a “do-it yourself” guide, with a blueprint for formulating predictive mathematical electrolyte models, recommended tabular values to use in these models, and annotated bibliographies. Engineers confronting the task of solving industrial problems may now solve them by turning to the Handbook and applying the compiled available data and/or the data prediction and analysis techniques presented in this volume to the problem at hand.
Here, the engineer will find a thorough and systematic presentation of electrolyte thermodynamics, beginning with the basic definitions of the equilibrium constants used in formulating electrolyte models and ending with an exposition and comparison of several of the best formulations for the activity coefficients of strong and/or weak electrolytes. In the final chapter there is a general recipe for formulating complete predictive models for electrolytes along with a series of worked illustrative examples.
This unique handbook serves as a useful research and application tool for the practicing process engineer as well as a college textbook for the chemical engineering student.
