The subvolume IV/19A4 contains evaluated data for elements in their different, stable structural forms and for stoichiometric compounds from HgH to ZnTe, appearing in alphabetic order of the elements in the chemical formulae. The subvolume is accompanied by a CD-ROM allowing computer tabulation of any required function at any temperature, or for selected temperature ranges, for the substances in that volume. Graphical representations are also possible.

Thermodynamic data for inorganic materials is fundamental to the optimization of existing process parameters and for investigating suitable parameters for carrying out potential new processes. With the aid of such data, time and costs can be saved by calculating the conditions necessary to produce a material of the required composition and specified purity, with a minimum usage of energy and input materials, and with a minimum release of harmful substances into the environment. The Scientific Group Thermodata Europe (SGTE)-evaluated data presented here are tabulated values of standard...
