PHASE-ANALYSIS AND ITS METHODS

The principles and methods of the phase analysis of multielement solid inorganic substances are discussed with regard to specific features o f their structure. Methods for separating complex mixtures with and wi thout phase decomposition, methods for identifying known phases and de termining new phases, and the possibilities of chemical methods of pha se analysis such as selective and differentiating dissolution are cons idered. The general prospects for the development of methods of phase analysis are outlined.
