Ternary subdivision

Esters of medium volatility are capable of removing the water formed by distillation. Examples are propyl, butyl, and amyl formates, ethyl, propyl, butyl, and amyl acetates, and the methyl and ethyl esters of propionic, butyric, and valeric acids. In some cases, ternary azeotropic mixtures of alcohol, ester, and water are formed. This group is capable of further subdivision with ethyl acetate, all of the ester is removed as a vapor mixture with alcohol and part of the water, while the balance of the water accumulates in the system. With butyl acetate, on the other hand, all of the water formed is removed overhead with part of the ester and alcohol, and the balance of the ester accumulates as a high boiler in the system.

The following subdivisions will be considered (i) binary oxides (ii) spinel oxides (iii) other ternary oxides (iv) iron(IV) oxides (v) chalcogenides (vi) silicate minerals and (vii) lunar samples. 

This section deals principally with binary derivatives of the alkali metals ternary compounds are omitted since they are considered, as appropriate, either elsewhere in this Report or in that covering the inorganic chemistry of the transition metals. Included here are subdivisions relating to hydrides, oxides and related species, and halides. Compounds of Group IV and V non-metals are not discussed because of the paucity of data. A separate section, entitled Molten Salts , dealing with the chemistry of molten halides (and nitrates) as solvents, is also included.
