This book analyses of the results obtained by fluorine combustion calorimetry over the past two decades and is devoted to problems that dominated the development of fluorine bomb calorimetry: purification and analysis of fluorine; methods devised for the combustion of different substances and analysis of the reaction products; construction of calorimetric bombs; peripheral apparatus for the safe manipulation of F2 and fluorides; and matters that address the treatment of experimental results of combustion of different substances in fluorine and other fluorine-containing oxidants.
