Functional Fillers and Nanoscale Minerals
Mineral additives are widespread in industrial manufacturing processes. So-called mineral fillers are used to extend raw materials and cut costs. Recently minerals and associated inorganics have frequently been used for their functionality and other mineral-specific qualities. The emergence of nanoscale minerals parallels the global pursuit of nanotechnology. The use of these minerals plays an important role in low-cost, high-performance application of nanotechnology. This 21-chapter compilati...
Computational Geosciences with Mathematica is the only book written by a geologist specifically to show geologists and geoscientists how to use Mathematica to formulate and solve problems. It spans a broad range of geologic and mathematical topics, which are drawn from the author's extensive experience in research, consulting, and teaching. The reference and text leads readers step-by-step through geologic applications such as custom graphics programming, data input and output, linear and differ...
Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry V35 (Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, #35)
Zeolite synthesis is an active field of research. As long as this continues, new phases will be discovered and new techniques for preparing existing phases will appear. This edition of Verified Synthesis of Zeolitic Materials contains all the recipes from the first edition plus 24 new recipes. Five new introductory articles have been included plus those from the first edition, some of which have been substantially revised. The XRD patterns have been recorded using different instrument settings f...

Principles and Technologies of Flotation Machines (Springer Tracts in Mechanical Engineering)
by Zhengchang Shen
This book highlights the principles and technologies of flotation machine mainly used in mineral processing in detail. Froth flotation is one of the most important mineral processing techniques. Over 90% of the nonferrous minerals and 50% of the ferrous minerals in the world are treated using flotation: a complicated technique including procedures from chemistry, physics and multi-scale fluid mechanics. The book introduces readers to air-forced and air-induced flotation cells and discusses the v...
Die Geschichte des Bergbaus, das Leben der Bergleute, der Wandel der Harzer Industrielandschaft und die Entwicklung der Bergbautechnik werden in einem allgemeinen Teil ausfuhrlich beschrieben. Ein regionaler Teil stellt die wichtigsten Harzer Bergbaureviere sowie deren Geschichte vor und unterbreitet zahlreiche Vorschlage fur eigene Exkursionen. Informationen uber alte Grubenreviere, Besucherbergwerke, Museen und sonstige Sehenswurdigkeiten, ein kleines bergmannisches ABC sowie eine Zusammenstel...
Handbook on the Physics and Chemistry of Rare Earths (Handbook on the Physics & Chemistry of Rare Earths)
The rare earths play a unique role in science. These seventeen related elements afford a panoply of subtle variations deriving from the systematic development of their electronic configurations, allowing a test of theory with excellent resolution. In contrast they find widespread use in even the most mundane processes such as steel making, for polishing materials and gasoline cracking catalysts. In between are exotic uses such as TV screen phosphors, lasers, high strength permanent magnets and c...
Highlights in Applied Mineralogy
What can we learn from nature? The study of the physical, chemical and structural properties of well-known minerals in the geo- and biosphere creates new opportunities for innovative applications in technology, environment or medicine. This book highlights today's research on outstanding minerals such as garnets used as components in all solid state batteries, delafossite formation during wastewater treatment, monazites for the immobilization of high level radioactive waste or hyroxylapatite as...
