The heat generated by this exothermic process was recycled to help power the initial magnesium extraction.

Freezing is almost always an exothermic process, meaning that as liquid changes into solid, heat and pressure is released.

For such an exothermic process, the concentration of BH is negligible in solution.

Anaerobic digestion is an exothermic process (generates heat).

The precipitation is an exothermic process.

For example, combustion reactions are exothermic processes.

In an exothermic process the energy lost by a reaction system is equal to the energy gained by its surroundings.

"Bioleaching is an exothermic process, meaning the bacteria could very well produce enough heat to keep themselves alive during the colder months," says Vance.

Polymerization of ethylene oxide is an exothermic process.

Conversely, the process of dissolving a gas in a solvent to form a saturated solution is an exothermic process.

The opposite of an exothermic process is an endothermic process, one that absorbs energy in the form of heat.

The absorption of ammonia gas into the water solution is an exothermic process, thus heat needs to be rejected from the absorber coils.

Some examples of exothermic processes are:

Removal of heat favours the exothermic reaction, so in this case, cooling the system will shift the equilibrium to favour the exothermic process.

Also, the heat input (endothermic process) and heat rejection (exothermic process) for the respective components has been identified.

In NVT, the energy of endothermic and exothermic processes is exchanged with a thermostat.

For any reaction that releases energy, the change ΔE in total energy has a negative value and the reaction is called an exothermic process.

Likewise, as the sample undergoes exothermic processes (such as crystallization) less heat is required to raise the sample temperature.

The dissolution of calcium hydroxide in water is also an exothermic process and obeys to the Le Chatelier's principle.

The ΔH is a positive change in endothermic reactions, and negative in heat-releasing exothermic processes.

In an adiabatic system (e.g. a system that does not give off heat to the surroundings), an exothermic process results in an increase in temperature.

Copigmentation appears to be clearly enthalpically driven (exothermic process with unfavourable entropy change) in the case of chlorogenic acid and (+)-catechin.

It is important to note that these reactors can have the issue of multiple steady states if the reaction within the CSTR is an exothermic process.

The hydrolysis of trialkylaluminium compounds is a highly exothermic process, and the starting trialkylaluminium compounds are often pyrophoric (i.e. burns on contact with air).

Autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD) is an exothermic process where sludge is subjected to temperatures greater than 55 °C for at least 4 hours, over 6–10 days.
