The International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam
(IAPWS) has produced this book in order to provide an accessible,
up-to-date overview of important aspects of the physical chemistry
of aqueous systems at high temperatures and pressures. These
systems are central to many areas of scientific study and
industrial application, including electric power generation,
industrial steam systems, hydrothermal processing of materials,
geochemistry, and environmental applications. The authors' goal is
to present the material at a level that serves both the graduate
student seeking to learn the state of the art, and also the
industrial engineer or chemist seeking to develop additional
expertise or to find the data needed to solve a specific problem.
The wide range of people for whom this topic is important provides
a challenge. Advanced work in this area is distributed among
physical chemists, chemical engineers, geochemists, and other
specialists, who may not be aware of parallel work by those outside
their own specialty. The particular aspects of high-temperature
aqueous physical chemistry of interest to one industry may be
irrelevant to another; yet another industry might need the same
basic information but in a very different form.
To serve all these constituencies, the book includes several
chapters that cover the foundational thermophysical properties
(such as gas solubility, phase behavior, thermodynamic properties
of solutes, and transport properties) that are of interest across
numerous applications. The presentation of these topics is intended
to be accessible to readers from a variety of backgrounds. Other
chapters address fundamental areas of more specializedinterest,
such as critical phenomena and molecular-level solution structure.
Several chapters are more application-oriented, addressing areas
such as power-cycle chemistry and hydrothermal synthesis. As befits
the variety of interests addressed, some chapters provide more
theoretical guidance while others, such as those on acid/base
equilibria and the solubilities of metal oxides and hydroxides,
emphasize experimental techniques and data analysis.
