Phase equilibria of pure mineral bodies

The aim of this article is to present, in tabular form, the values of normal melting and boiling temperatures and enthalpies for pure mineral compounds. This article complements the tables devoted to organic compounds ( ). For further information on changes of state of pure bodies and equilibrium between phases, please refer to the theoretical introduction to the article . A first introductory section recalls the assumptions of standard and normal conditions in thermodynamics and presents the formulas for calculating the deviation between standard and normal values.
