Samenvatting:

The book starts with an exposition of the relevant properties of ions and continues with a description of their solvation in the gas phase. The book contains a large amount of factual information in the form of extensive tables of critically examined data and illustrations of the points made throughout.

A thoroughly and expertly written book on the behavior of ions in solution, providing useful data for applications in a plethora of chemistry fields

Reactions in aqueous solutions are widely prevalent, occurring in industry, in the chemical laboratory, in the natural environment, and in the human body. Within the area of chemistry and chemical engineering, solutions of ions has come to the forefront of current interest, study and applications, as they occupy a major fraction of research and publications of the field and its branches.

Ions in Solution and their Solvation discusses thoroughly and broadly the processes and interactions that occur in solutions of ions and includes extensive, critically compiled data. The book starts with an exposition of the relevant properties of ions and concludes with applications of the concepts expounded previously in a variety of fields. Interspersed with factual information and points in the form of extensive tables and illustrations, this monograph:

• Explains properties and solvation principles of ions in liquid and gas phases

• Covers solvent structure, dynamics, and nanochemistry; including pure and mixed solvents

• Addresses ion interactions and dependence upon solvents

• Discusses applications in electrochemistry, hydrometallurgy, separation chemistry, biophysics, and chemical synthesis

This book will be an invaluable handbook for applications in electrochemistry, biochemistry, inorganic, and organometallic chemistry, and chemical and environmental engineering. Furthermore, professionals, such as chemical and pharmaceutical engineers, environmental engineers and biochemists, as well as chemistry students, especially in fields of inorganic, physical, analytical, or electrochemistry, will find the text a strong supplemental guidance for their research.

The book starts with an exposition of the relevant properties of ions and continues with a description of their solvation in the gas phase. The book contains a large amount of factual information in the form of extensive tables of critically examined data and illustrations of the points made throughout. It covers:

• the relevant properties of prospective liquid solvents for the ions
• the process of the transfer of ions from the gas phase into a liquid where they are solvated
• various aspects of the solutions of the ions, such as structural and transport ones and the effects of the ions on the solvent dynamics and structure
• what happens in cases where the solvent is a mixture selective solvation takes place
• applications of the concepts expounded previously in fields such as electrochemistry, hydrometallurgy, separation chemistry, biophysics, and synthetic methods
