The book is organized into eight chapters, each dealing with a key physical property of behavior of solutions, so that a reader can obtain information on: hydrothermal experimental methods; available experimental data and the main features of properties behavior in a wide range of temperatures and pressures; and possible ways of experimental data processing for obtaining the derivative properties.

Vladimir Valyashko is Head of Laboratory of Solution Chemistry, Kurnakov Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow.
He is a member of IAPWS Working Group "Physical Chemistry of Aqueous Solutions".
