MOLECULAR THERMODYNAMICS OF ELECTROLYTE SOLUTIONS

by Lloyd L Lee (California State Polytechnic University, USA)

The introductory textbook provides an update on electrolyte thermodynamics with a molecular perspective. It is eminently suited as an introduction to the solution thermodynamics of ionic mixtures at the undergraduate and graduate level. It is also invaluable for the understanding and design in the engineering of natural gas treating and adsorption refrigeration with electrolytes.


Contents:

  • Review of Electrostatics
  • Solution Thermodynamics of Electrolytes
  • The Debye–Hückel Theory
  • The Statistical Mechanics of Ionic Solutions
  • Molecular Thermodynamics
  • Mean Spherical Approximation: The Hard Sphere Ions
  • The Integral Equations for Ion Distributions
  • The McMillan–Mayer and Lewis–Randall Scales in Non-Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions
  • Generalization to Mixed-Salt and Non-Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions
  • Application: Amine Solutions in Acid Gas Removal
  • Application: Ionic Refrigerants in Adsorption Engine Cycles


Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students, as well as practising engineers, in chemical engineering, refrigeration, corrosion, natural gas engineering, physical chemistry, electrochemistry, biochemistry, colloidal chemistry, minerology, industrial chemistry and environmental engineering.
