Thermodynamic Properties of Copper and its Inorganic Compounds

The principal purpose of this volume on thermodynamic properties of copper and its inorganic compounds is to supply information that can be used by the extractive metallurgist as a basis for improving existing processes or for establishing new ones. However, for the sake of completeness, all relevant data on copper compounds, through June 1971, have been critically reviewed and evaluated. As a result, properties for 159 copper-containing substances have been incorporated into the compilation. Thus, the work can be used as a guide also for other areas of thermochemical research. The compilation is divided into several sections. The first section gives enthalpy of formation, Gibbs energy of formation, and entropy of substances at 298 K. The second section gives tabular values of properties of compounds as a function of temperature. Included are heat capacity, entropy, Gibbs energy function, enthalpy relative to 298 K, enthalpy of formation, Gibbs energy of formation, and equilibrium constant of formation. The third section gives data for selected chemical reactions over ranges of temperature, with emphasis on reactions of metallurgical interest. Tabular values are given for enthalpy of reaction, Gibbs energy of reaction, and equilibrium constant of reaction.
