Method and apparatus for analysis of substances by change in enthalpy during dissolution

摘要

Disclosed is a method for the analysis of a mixture of substances comprising at least one component which dissolves with a change in enthalpy, comprising the steps of introducing a predetermined amount of the mixture of substances into a uniformly flowing stream of a solvent maintained at a constant temperature; measuring the maximum change of temperature occurring in the stream of solvent after the point of introduction; and comparing this measured maximum change in temperature with a standard measurement. Also disclosed is an apparatus for carrying out this method.
