Description
Clay plays an important role in everyday life. This versatile mineral is used in housing, improving the environment as a waste treatment
material and also in biological applications and medical health care.
Clay Surfaces contains 17 chapters which deal with
various aspects of natural and man made (synthetic) clay. Well written by experts in both experimental and theoretical areas, this book
takes the reader into the fascinating world of the chemistry and physics of clay mineral surfaces and interfaces as well as the complex
phenomena on the surfaces involved in clay related systems.
This book will provide a better understanding of the intervention mechanisms
of interactions of soils in contact with wastes, actions to be taken in the case of chemical spillage, methods to improve the production
of food without affecting the ecological balance, increased fixation of carbon in the soil to increase grain production and reduction
of carbon dioxide release into the atmosphere.
Audience
Researchers, academics and practitioners in the fields of clay science, surface science, colloid science, solid state chemistry, catalysis and materials chemistry and engineering.
