Developments in Clay Science,
Description
The first general texts on clay mineralogy and the practical applications of clay, written by R.E. Grim, were published some 40-50 years
ago. Since then, a vast literature has accumulated but this information is scattered and not always accessible.
The Handbook
of Clay Science aims at assembling the scattered literature on the varied and diverse aspects that make up the discipline of clay
science. The topics covered range from the fundamental structures (including textures) and properties of clays and clay minerals, through
their environmental, health and industrial applications, to their analysis and characterization by modern instrumental techniques. Also
included are the clay-microbe interaction, layered double hydroxides, zeolites, cement hydrates, genesis of clay minerals as well as
the history and teaching of clay science. No modern book in the English language is available that is as comprehensive and wide-ranging
in coverage as the Handbook of Clay Science.
In providing a critical and up-to-date assessment of the accumulated information,
this will serve as the first point of entry into the literature for both newcomers and graduate students, while for research scientists,
university teachers, industrial chemists, and environmental engineers the book will become a standard reference text.
Audience
Newcomers and graduate students, research scientists, university teachers, industrial chemists and environmental engineers.
