INFLUENCE OF DISPERSITY ON THE THERMODYNAMICS OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS OF NANOMINERALS

Abstract

Specific groups of minerals (clays, graphites, and others) can be assigned to the class of so-called nanocrystal materials (NM), which are interesting in nanotechnologies. The main peculiarity of NM is the notable influence of the size of particles on the properties of nanocrystals (the so-called size effect). Despite the long-term history of the size effect, some of its aspects, in particular, the role of dispersity in the thermodynamics of chemical reactions, are poorly developed. This problem will be considered in our paper.
