Abstract

The principles of comparing chemical analyses by the use of the electrical conductivity and the limiting ionic molar conductivities are described in section 9.3.2. There is a simple method to do this, based on the theoretical investigations of Debye and Hückel for calculating the electrical conductivity of a solution with weak and strong electrolytes. Appendix I extracts the most important parts of the publications of Rossum (1975) as well as the compiled table of limiting ionic molar conductivities in Coury (1999). Table 31 lists only those ions that might be important for mine water analyses. Other molar conductivities can be found in the literature cited by Rossum (1975) and Coury (1999) — (according to a pers. comm. by Peter T. Kissinger, Chairman and CEO Bioanalytical Systems Inc., the second part of Coury’s article was never published).
