Werner Smykatz-Kloss (EDT), Slade S.J. Warne (EDT) Thermal Analysis in the Geosciences

Annotation

The application of thermal analysis is outlined by 18contributions, writtenby experts in the various fields ofgeosciences. Emphasis was laid on the determination ofminerals and technical products, kinetic parameters andcalorific values in glass and ceramics technology,characterization of raw materials (e.g. clays, industrialminerals), in quality control and performance assessment,but also in environment protection from soil and waterpollution, using re-evaluated existing and new data andimproved combined modern methods. This book is addressed to practitioners, scientistsandstudents in mineralogy/crystallography, applied geology,material sciences, and environmental sciences.
