In order to assess the high temperature vaporization behavior and equilibrium gas phase compositions of binary alkali metal oxides, the relevant thermodynamic and molecular constant data have been compiled and critically evaluated. Selected values of the Gibbs energy and enthalpy functions of condensed and vapor phases are given in the form of equations valid over wide temperature ranges, along with the standard entropies and enthalpies of formation. These data were used to generate plots of the equilibrium partial pressures of vapor species as functions of temperature for representative conditions ranging from reducing to oxidizing. Maximum vaporization rates have been calculated using the Hertz–Knudsen equation. Literature references are given.
In order to assess the high-temperature vaporization behavior and equilibrium gas phase compositions over the condensed oxides of Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, B, Al, Ga, In, Tl, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, Zn, Cd, and Hg, the relevant thermodynamic and molecular constant data have been compiled and critically evaluated. Selected values of the Gibbs energy functions of condensed and vapor phases are given in the form of equations valid over wide temperature ranges, along with the standard entropies and enthalpies of formation. These data were used to generate plots of equilibrium partial pressures of vapor species as functions of temperature for representative environmental conditions ranging from reducing to oxidizing. The calculated partial pressures and compositions agree, for the most part, with experimental results obtained under comparable conditions. Maximum vaporization rates have been calculated using the Hertz–Knudsen equation. Literature references are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
