Exergy calculator

Easy exergy calculator

This exergy calculator calculates automatically the chemical exergy of any chemical compound.

See instructions for the exergy calculator here.
Go to the "Advanced Exergy Calculator" if you want to introduce your own Gibbs free energy value.
You can search in our database for chemical names too, not only for chemical formulas.
The exergy calculator provides also the standard enthalpy of chemical substances.
Click on the reference names, they are linked to the references on this portal and can bring you easily to books, papers, and so on...

Thanatia: The Destiny of the Earth's Mineral Resources

A Thermodynamic Cradle-to-Cradle Assessment by (author): Antonio Valero Capilla and Alicia Valero Delgado

Is Gaia becoming Thanatia, a resource exhausted planet? For how long can our high-tech society be sustained in the light of declining mineral ore grades, heavy dependence on un-recycled critical metals and accelerated material dispersion? These are all root causes of future disruptions that need to be addressed today.
