Chemical Thermodynamics of Zirconium

This volume is part of the series on "Chemical Thermodynamics", published under the aegis of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency.

It contains a critical review of the literature on thermodynamic data for inorganic compounds of zirconium.

A review team, composed of five internationally recognized experts, has critically reviewed all the scientific literature containing chemical thermodynamic information for the above mentioned systems.

The results of this critical review carried out following the Guidelines of the OECD NEA Thermochemical Database Project have been documented in the present volume, which contains tables of selected values for formation and reaction thermodynamical properties and an extensive bibliography.

It includes a critical review of all literature on chemical thermodynamics for compounds and complexes of Zr.

There are tables of recommended Selected Values for thermochemical properties.

It also features a documented review procedure, and an exhaustive bibliography.

It is intended to meet requirements of radioactive waste management community.

It is a valuable reference source for the physical, analytical and environmental chemist.
