The High-temperature Microcalorimetry of Inorganic Substances

The essential features of high-temperature microcalorimetry have been described, and the possibilities provided by its use in various fields such as inorganic chemistry, mineralogy, power engineering, etc. have been demonstrated. The procedures of high-temperature microcalorimetry have been classified according to the types of process studied: solution, oxidation, hydrogenation, dissociation, phase transformations, the mixing of melts, etc., and illustrated for substances with different compositions and uses: metals, oxides, salts, synthetic and natural compounds, and minerals. The results of the studies have been compared with data obtained by calorimetry involving solution in aqueous solutions and by combustion calorimetry.
