Bøger i Th. Thorium (System-Nr. 44) serien

The present volume of the Gmelin thorium series describes the solid thorium-carbon compounds with the exception of the carbides and coordination compounds of the type 4 ThAn* X B, where B is a neutral ligand.

The present volume describes the general properties of the thorium atom and ions, the thermodynamics of its compounds and solutions, the behavior of solutions and solid com pounds under the influence of its own radiation as well as an external radiation field, and spectroscopic data in great detail.

This volume comprises the compounds of thorium with the 4th main group elements silicon and germanium and all 5th main group elements except nitrogen.

Verbindungen'" Teil B "Metall und Legierungen"' Teil D "Chemie in Loesung'" Die vorgezogene Herausgabe dieses Bandes wird durch die Tatsache gefoerdert, dass Th0 und 2 ThOrUOrMischoxide speziell fur Hochtemperaturkernreaktoren als Brutstoffe fur die Erzeugung 233 von U von Bedeutung sind.

The present volume, Thorium C5, deals with the compounds of thorium and sulfur, selenium, tellurium, and boron, as well as with oxoacid compounds of the three chalcogen elements. Thorium sulfates are of some technological importance because they are formed in solution during recovery of thorium from monazite by sulfuric acid leaching.

This volume C 3, as a part of the Gmelin "Thorium" Handbook, Series C, describes the thorium-nitrogen compounds.
