Ingenieurgeologie befasst sich als interdisziplinares Fachgebiet im Schnittbereich von Geo- und Ingenieurwissenschaften mit der Geosphare in ihrer Wechselwirkung mit dem Menschen. Ausgehend von der Erkundung der Geosphare stellt das Buch Georisiken vor und diskutiert die Folgen menschlicher Eingriffe. Es veranschaulicht ingenieurgeologische Herausforderungen und entwirft Loesungen fur die klassischen Problembereiche wie Naturgefahren und Hangrutschungen, Bergsturze und Bergsenkungen, Bau- und Sa...
This book surveys the important stone properties, both physical and chemical, pertinent to the architect's, engineer's and stone producer's needs. Emphasis is placed on the chemical characteristics of the pollutants in air and waters and their interaction with stone which accelerates the process of stone decay, often many times faster than in rural locations in quarry or rock cut. Graphs and diagrams, the scientist's language, analyze and quantify the natural processes which lead to stone decay:...
SME Mining Reference Handbook
The go-to resource for professionals in the mining industryThe SME Mining Reference Handbook was the first concise reference published in the mining field and it quickly became the industry standard. It sits on almost every mining engineer's desk or bookshelf with worn pages, tabs to find most used equations, and personal notes. It has been the unequaled single reference and the first source of information for countless engineers.This second edition of the SME Mining Reference Handbook builds on...

Zeolites and Related Materials (Studies in Surface Science and Catalysis, #174)
by Antoine Gedeon
The present book "Zeolites and Related Materials: Trends, Targets and Challenges" reports the communications that have been presented at the 4th International FEZA (Federation of European Zeolite Associations) Conference in Paris, September 3-6, 2008. It gives an excellent overview of the present state of the art of ordered nanoporous solids including zeolites as well as synthetic layered materials (clays), nanosized molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous solids, metal-organic-framework compounds...
Nano and Micro Diamond Formation in Nature (SpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences)
by Sergei Simakov, Vittorio Scribano, Nikolai Melnik, Victor Pechnikov, Irina Drozdova, Vladimir Vyalov, and Mikhail Novikov
In this book, readers will gain a deep understanding of the distinct characteristics and intricate formation mechanisms behind each type of diamond. A standout feature of this book is its in-depth exploration of nanodiamonds, shedding light on their unique formation processes. The narrative is thoughtfully organized, covering four main categories of natural diamonds and their related formation processes: 1)Interstellar nanodiamond particles; 2) Nano- and microcrustal diamonds associated with co...
Hydromagmatic Processes and Platinum-Group Element Deposits in Layered Intrusions
by Alan Boudreau
The role of hydrothermal fluids during the crystallization of layered intrusions and the ore deposits they contain has long been debated. This book summarizes the evidence for fluid-crystal-liquid (hydromagmatic) interactions and their importance for the understanding of the formation of platinum-group deposits in layered intrusions. It discusses the composition of igneous fluids in mafic magmatic systems, the generation and movement of these fluids in layered intrusions, their impact in alterin...
Die Mineral- Und Heilwasser A-Sterreichs
by Josef Zotl, Josef Zvtl, Johann Goldbrunner, Josef Ztl, and Josef Zatl
Die im Wasser enthaltenen Spurenelemente haben eine zentrale Bedeutung sowohl fA1/4r die Medizin als auch fA1/4r die Geologie. Je nach Zusammensetzung dieser Spurenelemente besitzen die WAsser unterschiedliche medizinische Wirkung und geologische Aussagekraft. A-sterreich besitzt eine Vielzahl verschiedener Mineral- und HeilwAsser. Eine Gruppe von Experten auf den Gebieten der Medizin, Lebensmitteltechnologie und Geologie hat sie in ihrer Vielfalt erforscht. Die Ergebnisse dieser ForschungstAtig...
This book is not designed to be an exhaustive work on mine wastes. It aims to serve undergraduate students who wish to gain an overview and an understanding of wastes produced in the mineral industry. An introductory textbook addressing the science of such wastes is not available to students despite the importance of the mineral industry as a resource, wealth and job provider. Also, the growing imp- tance of the topics mine wastes, mine site pollution and mine site rehabilitation in universities...
This book provides a wealth of geomathematical case history studies performed by the author during his career at the Ministry of Natural Resources Canada, Geological Survey of Canada (NRCan-GSC). Several of the techniques newly developed by the author and colleagues that are described in this book have become widely adopted, not only for further research by geomathematical colleagues, but by government organizations and industry worldwide. These include Weights-of-Evidence modelling, mineral res...
Fundamentals of Optical, Spectroscopic and X-ray Mineralogy
by Sachinath Mitra
This book gives an up-to-date treatment of the optics of minerals, from visible to hard X-ray wavelengths - and is the only text/reference to provide all fundamental, as well as applied, aspects related to the structure and symmetry of minerals, along with their optical and optical-absorption spectroscopic properties. It explains how to predict opticamineralogical properties from first principles, and introduces modern techniques for opticamineralogical analysis. The book also addresses crystal...
This manual focuses on mineral identification. Based on the Dana system of classification, it uses simple observation methods and tools to enable readers to identify unknown minerals.
Lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatites are important resources for rare metals. For Cs, only the LCT pegmatites with the zeolite group mineral pollucite at Bikita (Zimbabwe Craton) and Tanco (Superior Province Craton) are of commercial importance. Common characteristics of world-class LCT pegmatite deposits include their Meso- to Neoarchean age and geological setting within greenstone belt lithologies on Archean Cratons. This study presents the first coherent and comparative scientific invest...
