Mercury in Liquids, Compressed Gases, Molten Salts and Other Elements, Volume 29

Foreword. Preface. Compilations and critical evaluations of mercury in the following solvents: water, seawater, aqueous electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solutions, hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, carboxylic acids, halocarbons, nitrobenzene, compressed gases, molten and solid salt systems, other elements. Appendices. System index. Registry number index. Author index.

An element of obvious importance, mercury is also hazardous in the environment and corrosive to many materials. A knowledge of its solubility is inestimable in addressing problems concerning the element's concentration in our surroundings. This volume presents all relevant data published on the solubility of mercury up to June 1986. By combining these data with the mercury equilibrium vapour pressure, Henry's constant and Ostwald coefficients can be calculated.

For environmental scientists, inorganic, physical and analytical chemists, and scientists and technologists concerned with mercury and its compounds.
